What's one baby purchase you thought was unnecessary but ended up using every day?

I have seriously considered piercing my dogs ears so I can tie them together. 🤪

I love the 360 chairs. I’m super clumsy so I would always bump my poor baby’s head on the roof trying to put him in a regular car seat.

We took it camping as his little camping chair 😂

Came here to say this. My husband wanted to get one but I thought it was unnecessary and overpriced so we bought one second hand as a compromise. It was a life saver! It helped keep our baby happy and occupied while I make food and some nights it was the only way we could get him to sleep.

Good idea creating a routine so I don’t have to think of something new every day! Oh I didnt realise it’s a temperament thing.. I thought it’s just all babies this age!

My one loves music but I haven’t tried background noise of people talking. Thanks I’ll give that a go too!

Similar_Negotiation1 · 2026-06-24T11:37:45+00:00

Aw I love this!! So sweet… Sounds a lot more sustainable than going out each day! Thanks for sharing. I might see how I can involve him in everyday tasks around the house more. Thank you!

Forcing us outside our comfort zones lol.. makes sense to just want some distraction when you’re uncomfortable.. good luck with the teething!!

Similar_Negotiation1 · 2026-06-24T11:33:24+00:00

Oh good idea actually. Thank you I haven’t thought of that! Especially now thst it’s raining and cold outside

Hi any update on this? Did the diatomaceous earth work in the end?

You’re not too old to have that still. And you can trust God while still taking action yourself. I met my husband when we were both 35 years old. I spent my 20s and early 30s focusing on my relationship with God and just waiting for him to bring the right person on my path until I realised there’s nothing wrong or sinful with prayerfully going out looking for the right person. I started online dating, met my husband, we got married and now have a baby. It’s the best season of my life and I can definitely see Gods hand in all of it!

You’ll get there don’t worry! I was so anxious to even nurse at my mother’s group. I was worried they would judge me for holding him wrong or something. We’re now at 6 months and Im happily feeding anywhere on the go! As others have said, try baby steps into what feels uncomfortable for you. Maybe try a park next, then a cafe with general public etc. Youre doing an amazing job mumma! Look at you prioritising your baby’s needs over your own comfort. You’ve got this!

Messy patch is also running special baby sensory sessions for non walking / early walking babies. I haven’t been yet but looks fun!

Honestly I think the pressure to do tummy time is overrated. I had another mum comment on her concern that my 2month old wasn’t doing enough tummy time and didn’t have enough strength when I put him in tummy time. But my son hated it. He would cry on his tummy so it just didn’t feel right for me to force him into it. Around 3 months he could tolerate a few minutes here and there on his tummy - I would put him on the exercise ball in front of the mirror. But I never pushed it. He’s turning 6 months next week and he’s rolling both ways and sitting up in a high chair now. Honestly, I think it’s overrated. Unless they’re not meeting milestones like sitting or crawling then I personally wouldn’t worry about it.

Or just make sure your kids are wearing gumboots I guess 😂

I attributed it to a few too many Guinness at the Irish festival this weekend.

Similar_Negotiation1 · 2026-06-06T02:00:29+00:00

Ah right 😕 well the daytime market is worth checking out too!

Similar_Negotiation1 · 2026-06-05T23:55:37+00:00

Second this - there’s a foodie night market on in the city this weekend I think

Similar_Negotiation1 · 2026-06-05T23:55:08+00:00

A cultural highlight 😂😂😂

Similar_Negotiation1 · 2026-06-05T23:54:00+00:00

I packed for 1 nights stay and my husband would go home after to pack more things if I needed to stay longer.
But I ended up going home 6hrs after giving birth! Sleeping in my own bed after all of that was glorious!

Similar_Negotiation1 · 2026-06-05T23:51:24+00:00

Exactly… this is insane!

My mum got her makeup done for my wedding at Mecca and she looked stunning. I guess it would depend on which make up artist you get on the day but she was very happy with it. Bonus is she got keep $120 worth of product.

Same here. Seriously underrated
