I received product/compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
I remember going to my local Babies “R” Us to register for my son way back when and I was so intimidated. Back then there were not a million places to create registries and the information on baby products was overwhelming to me. I had no friends or family who recently had a baby so I was on my own. Moms today now definitely have more choices in products and stores.
Thinking back to the registry I created and the supposed “must-have” items, I cannot help but laugh. Does my son need a wet wipe warmer? Of course, he does, I mean I cannot possibly wipe his butt with cold or room temperature wipes. Tee-Pee Shield to block him from peeing on me? Yes, of course, I will use that on every diaper change since they do take a long time. I can go on and on with products I wanted and received that I cannot believe I had.
Last month, Offers.com compiled the results from 500 U.S. respondents to launch the article “Baby Products Shopping & Spending Survey.” Honestly, whether you are a new mom or old mom, it is worth reading as it will remind you of those silly items you had to have or good memories with the products you loved. For new moms, the survey might just help you prepare a registry of items you will actually use.
The Baby Shopping Survey that found the No. 1 underrated baby product is a White Noise Machine and that Target is the No. 1 favorite registry. I have to say I have shopped off the Target registry before for gifts and it is so much easier since Target stores seem to be everywhere. The closest thing I had to a white noise machine was the static sound the baby monitor made but I can definitely see the value today of an actual white noise machine, for infants through adulthood.
Offers.com wants parents to be able to experience a white noise machine for their child and has partnered with me on a great giveaway.
