Things
you don't need-because they are dangerous:
·
Baby
powder-talc is bad for baby lungs, corn starch based feeds the infection
·
Crib
bumpers-they may look cute, but they are a suffocation hazard-I can't believe
they still sell them. Although I have never seen a baby get hurt from being
stuck in between crib railings, if you
are really concerned they make mesh ones.
