Frida Mom Perineal Healing Spray

I had a fourth-degree tear after delivery, but surprisingly I barely used this. My recovery went well naturally, so it ended up sitting unused most of the time.

Fisher-Price Breathing Otter

Many parents love this toy, but my baby personally never showed much interest in it during the newborn stage.

Fisher-Price Musical Play Mat

Another item that didn’t work for us. My baby simply preferred being held more than spending time on the mat during the early months.

Breast Milk Leak Pads

Because I struggled more with undersupply rather than oversupply, I rarely needed leak pads. I would personally recommend waiting to see how your feeding journey goes before stocking up heavily.

Nipple Shields

I bought these expecting breastfeeding pain, but I thankfully never ended up needing them.

Baby Car Mirror

I barely used this during the first few months because I usually sat beside my baby during car rides anyway. However, I do think it becomes much more useful later once babies grow bigger and parents start sitting in the front more often during drives.

Momcozy Carrier with Hip Cushion

I would not consider this a newborn carrier. Many babies may fit comfortably from around 3.5–4 months onwards depending on their size and development, while smaller babies may need a little more time before this style of carrier feels comfortable.

But I do think moms should wait and check their baby’s body size and comfort before buying this type of hip cushion carrier.

Momcozy Newborn-Friendly Carrier

If I were choosing again for the early months, I would personally go for this softer ergonomic carrier style instead. It feels more suitable for smaller babies and looks easier to use during the newborn and early baby stage.

This is not one of my “barely used” items, but I am including it as the alternative I would consider instead of buying a hip cushion carrier too early.
