[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Changing pad poster. I think there’s generally a lot of judging in baby gear purchases and I don’t think it’s far fetched that a woman who is just dropping off items (and loves to brag about a steal) might also fall in this camp. I mean hell, look at this thread. I got judged bc I cared about researching a changing pad.

You’re correct that I misread and it was a mattress pad. (Also, do I need one of those?)

I’m not saying at all that people who easily conceived their kids love them any less. Your conclusion here, I do think, is a stretch. [/quote]

Yes, you need a mattress pad.  Get one or a pack of two.  Your baby may not spit up/throw up/blow out a lot so wait and see and you may need to buy more.  We haven't needed them much but it's been nice to have one and a backup for when that one is in the wash.

I think this whole thread is silly.  Just say no, you have what you need.  
I've been offered hand me downs that I didn't need/want and I said no.  Especially when I was overwhelmed by all the baby stuff taking over my small DC home!   
I've offered my daughter's stuff to friends and some say yes and others ask a lot of questions.  I just give to the friends that say yes.  I also have a coworker who specifically asks me for hand me downs so I give her some stuff every season.  Back when I got lots of hand me downs, I offered the stuff where the season didn't match up with my daughter's size to a pregnancy center.  They were happy to have it.
