[quote=Anonymous]Agree with suggestion for Amazon list.  Have a registry, and then post-child have a wish-list, and let people know about it.

If you get stuff you don't want, return if you can without them knowing, or donate.

I also will say though that I agree with PPs who ask you to try to keep an open mind.  I was *the same* as you and learned to loosen up with time.  When my mother was here when baby was about 4 weeks old, she bought me desitin and I made her take it back because 'we don't use that'.  Fast forward to our trip home for Christmas last year when baby was 11 months, when I asked my mum to buy EXTRA STRENGTH DESITIN in advance of our arrival.  Ahhh how things change.  In the end I just want my kid not to have a rashy bottom.  You learn to adjust and pick your battles.  Maybe this won't be as much of an issue as you think.  All that said, I still use the lists and most people pull from them at gift-giving time.  For those you don't, you can just address it on a case-by-case basis.  We donate when possible.[/quote]
