hand me downs
Do you all feel the same as me? Sometimes hand me downs are appreciated, but at times I do feel that I need my own experience in choosing and buying my own baby stuff.
Totally appreciate the "Hand-Me-Downs" items. Firstly, items are able to be reuse, recycle and cut down on wastage but of course, the items need to be cleaned, washed and properly sanitized. I received lots of "Hand-Me-Downs" but items are just not reusable at all. Reason due to the facts, that the items was store in a warm storage, humid, dusty and uncleaned condition. So what to do, even if I manage to salvage the items, not everything can be cleaned. So yeah, just dump them away into the recycling bins. Milk bottles, teats, pacifiers, milk bags - these can't be reuse after such a long period of 3 years. Scratches, hard stains and possibly germs growing. Clothes on the other hand,stains can be washed but those hard-corded stains like poo, peed...definitely a no-no. I usually opt for Brand New, sealed in packaging, second-hand items that I can find online. Still lot cheaper then retail. Brand New. Sealed. So yeah, hand-me-downs can be pros and cons. 😊😉
