Crazy Baby STUFF

I am overwhelmed and amused by the amount of stuff marketed to new parents these days.<br>
And the marketing tactics are outrageous!<br><br>
Some of the more interesting ones to me are:<br>
3-D ultrasounds: the local imaging place promises to help "create that bond with your baby that much sooner".<br><br><a href="http://www.babyplus.com" target="_blank">baby plus education system</a>: promises to "give your baby a head start" and do everything from make birth easier to have her memorizing all the digits of pi before she comes out of the womb<br><br>
then of course there's the $800 bedding set that includes a bumper and blanket you're advised not to use in infancy, a sheet the baby is going to poop on and a bed skirt that might or might not work with your crib<br><br>
What are some of your favorites?<br><br><br><br><span style="font-size:small;">(I'm not knocking these things, and they may really work or be valued by some people. But the claims are broad.)</span>

But that makes sense to do, right? The first colors that a newborn can see are black, white, and red. If they made a toy in that color, it would have the most contrast and thus stick out from the rest of their field of view. Not that necessarily it would help them develop better, but the color scheme isn't crazy. It's a smart idea for new kids -- it would be very entertaining.
I see what you're saying now. That I can certainly agree with.
