Comments to article «An Experienced Pediatrician Reveals Which Things Are Unnecessary to Buy Before a Child Is Born»

A few good ones here but not all are true

Infant shouldn't spend too much time in the car seat. It's not good for the spine. But It's better to buy used stroller with a cradle and then after 6 monts buy regular stroller. I don't recomend 3 in 1 option because they are to big and heavy.

As a pediatrician myself, I agree with most except the following: not buying a crib or bassinet prior to birth. It is not safe for the child to sleep in mattress not made for infants as they are too soft and can lead to suffocation. The child should also never co-sleep with parent. Also, mild Seb derm (cradle cap) is usually fine but Seb derm can be more severe and can spread to the forehead and chest, diaper area which can be very uncomfortable for child and distressing for the parent. So it is recommended to treat moderate Seb derm with olive oil and brushing it out. And as for walkers! Definitely a NO according to the AAP.
