I'm sure it's probably already been said but I really think these 'influencers' should make it more clear that all the gadgets for babies are LUXURIES. I've had two children and my first we did everything on a budget, no gadgets, secondhand crib etc and baby was fine. This baby we've been able to get more gadgets and yes it's saved time, but my baby is no happier and I'm not a better mother due to this extra expenditure.
I think influencers (especially those with a younger audience like Elle) should make it clear that you don't need these things, as I worry first time Moms would get themselves into debt to buy them when there really is no need.
