Baby Registry Products Reviewed

   When I found out that I was pregnant, I couldn't wait to gather every bit of information possible and buy every little thing I could ever possibly need.  I wanted to know everything there was to know and I wanted to be completely prepared for the big day. (Spoiler alert:  I didn't learn everything and I wasn't completely prepared!)  I spent hours and hours scouring every baby website and blog, searching for safety ratings and "top baby registry items", first baby "must-haves" and every other possible tidbit I could feast my eyes upon.  They were all extremely helpful in one way or another and I've always wanted to create my own list of items that I used and loved, and the ones that I may not have used at all.  I will never say that you don't "need" any item, because realistically, having a baby is exciting and, for me at least, it was a great feeling to try every item, even if I had been told a thousand times that it wasn't necessary.  Also, see my must-haves baby registry list for an entire list of items Baby Registry Must-Haves and Essentials.

Baby Registry Items:

*Wipes Warmer - This was probably the #1 debated item that I read about on all of the baby sites and blogs.  Half of the commenters would say that it is a waste of money or dangerous and the other half would say that it is a lifesaver.  In my opinion, it has been extremely helpful but if I had a limited budget for baby items, I would probably skip it.  That being said, I am forever grateful for my Munchkin Wipes Warmer.  When I researched wipe warmers, like most new moms, I read every single review and comment.  Here are some of the issues that I came across. 

• "Wipes warmers are fire hazards."   This may be true, depending on the brand of warmer used and the way that it is used.  For me, there has not been an issue.  Yes, you are putting paper in water, inside of a plugged in box.  I did not feel that my Munchkin warmer ever got to be that hot.  I keep all of the items on the changing table away from the warmer, so that there are no issues.  We have left the warmer on every day for over a year (with the exception of one week when we were on vacation and a few day trips that we took.)  We have not had a problem with fire and hopefully never will.  We do keep several fire extinguishers throughout the house in case of any issues in general.  I highly recommend that, whether you purchase a wipes warmer or not.
• "The wipes turn brown/burn."  -  Nope, in 13ish months, we have not had any of our wipes turn brown... well, not from the warmer anyway ;)  
• "We are coddling our children by warming the wipes." When I am completely sleep deprived and my poor baby needs his diaper changed in the middle of the night, I am not going to startle him with a cold wipe.  Not happening.  For many of those MOTN diaper changes, he actually stayed asleep through the change! I was very lucky for this, and I'm not sure if it would have worked if I had used an unwarmed wipe.

What I like about my Munckin Warmer:  Wipes on top are as warm as the wipes on the bottom.  It is large enough to fit an entire stack from a refill package. (Remove the wipes from the plastic before putting them in!!) It has a light that always stays on, but isn't so bright that it keeps the baby from sleeping.  It also has a button to make the light brighter, which really comes in handy when you're fumbling around trying to get a diaper in the dark.

We also purchased the Prince Lionheart Compact Wipes Warmer, Green so that we could have the luxury of warm wipes while on the road.  It simply plugs into the car outlet.  I liked this for the car, but it does not hold enough wipes to be helpful otherwise.
