Baby Registry
If you’re expecting, first of all, congrats! If you’re like I was, you think you need every baby product ever made before you bring home your new addition. While these tiny little humans do need A LOT of stuff (just wait until your first road trip as a family and you will quickly see that the smallest member of the family needs the most stuff!), I didn’t need all of the things I thought I would. To help other new mamas out, I have made a list of things from my registry and I’ll give some tips on things we really loved. I also registered for things I thought I might not need right away, but would need within the first 2 years. If you have the storage space for this, I would definitely recommend doing that because that will be one less thing you have to buy later!

Wipes/Diapers:

Diaper rash cream https://a.co/d/fDeOhpk
(our daycare told us about this one and said it works the best out of all the ones they have seen)
Diapers (every baby is different but we found Pampers to be the best ones for us that did not leak)
Diaper Genie and refills https://a.co/d/4JvZu42 (I think it really helped with the smell!)
wipes
stroller/car seat:
Doona (this has been a life saver! You can just pop the wheels out and push them instead of carrying that bulky carrier around! If there was one item I was going to splurge on, this would be it!) https://a.co/d/eRX2nlh
Graco Modes Pramette Stroller (can convert from bassinet mode to sitting up forward or rear facing mode. Rides very smooth. If you have a Graco car seat, you can also attach it to the stroller) https://a.co/d/6KCnFfB
Car seat protectors (keep your seats from getting damaged/imprinted by the car seat. Would highly recommend, especially if you have leather seats. They are very easy to install) https://a.co/d/6daqr48
360 carseat (We switched to this when he outgrew the Doona and I LOVE the swivel- it makes getting them in and out SO much easier)
High chair:
Munchkin 360 cloud high chair (I love this one because the top part can swivel to either face you or face them toward the table- also very easy to clean) https://a.co/d/9MOX2wv
Nova Baby swing (I went back and forth between this one and the MamaRoo but decided on this one because it can also be powered by batteries and moved around the house and the MamaRoo has to stay plugged into the wall) https://a.co/d/i3ntD8K
Fisher-Price on the go baby dome (we love this to put the baby in while sitting on the porch or while we are working in the yard. also great for baby’s first trip camping or to the beach!) https://a.co/d/8AgLq2o
warmer/sterilizers:
Baby Breeza Baby Bottle Sterilizer (we use this so often- even after I handwash bottles or pump parts, I use this to dry them so they aren’t taking up room on my counter all day) https://a.co/d/6JQbDzr
Bottle Warmer (this one is so easy to use and even has a guide on the warmer to tell you how long to warm the bottle based on material of the bottle and ounces of milk) https://a.co/d/fEUlaLh
Bottle brushes https://a.co/d/9Nky5mk
Baby Breeza Bottle Washer Pro: If you use formula or exclusively pump, this will probably be a huge help! I exclusively pumped and loved mine. And when I had issues with it customer service was great and shipped me a new one! https://a.co/d/fjfqEiy
Cameras/monitors:
Leap frog baby monitor https://a.co/d/gCKJVBV (this one comes with a handheld monitor plus you can view on your phone- there is a cheaper option if you don’t need to be able to view from your phone)
Vtech Double Baby Monitor (if this is your second child and you need both kids on the monitor): https://a.co/d/ie0iY6F
Car Camera/monitor https://a.co/d/da5hdO1 (we love ours and have even had several friends who rode with us and commented how much better they liked this vs the mirror and how it was not as distracting while driving as trying to look in the mirror)
Double Car Camera/Monitor: https://a.co/d/hvaLVGr
Feeding:
Baby 2 in 1 booster seat and floor seat https://a.co/d/dgc0ap2 (love this for on the go and taking to family’s house for him to sit in during holiday meals. Update: once our 2 year old outgrew the high chair we took the tray off and used it as a booster seat at the kitchen table)
Portable warmer (comes in handy when visiting friends or family or when out to eat and you need to warm a bottle) https://a.co/d/dxo3ICe
OXO tot roll up bibs (I like these to pack in diaper bag because they roll up and the Velcro is nice-these are great for catching food!) https://a.co/d/a2DTvDW
Silicone suction divided plate https://a.co/d/dyQ3Vrw
Silicone suction bowl https://a.co/d/aaVRLBH
Sippy Cup (we used straw cups. We started with the bear to learn how to use the straw and then progressed to the Dr. Brown’s straw cup and then the Zak straw cup- all linked below)
Nipples (I would register for several different sizes/levels for whatever bottles you choose to use)
Dr. Browns wide and narrow neck bottles (we chose to use the glass bottles and we love them because they heat up faster and retain the heat longer- they make silicone sleeves for them but we haven’t used ours)
Baby Spoons https://a.co/d/90H3jFf
Bath time:
Hooded bath towels (If you’re going to get these, I would recommend these because they are thicker- the thin ones I did not like as much. But honestly, just your regular towels will work just fine too.)
Baby bath tub (we got 3 different ones: the flower for sink baths initially, the lay down one that you put in a tub once he was approx 3 months old, and the sit up one for once he can sit up independently)
Baby wash cloths https://a.co/d/4Pl9dZf
Frida Rinser https://a.co/d/aZScqdo
Skip Hop Moby Baby Bath Set https://a.co/d/0UqKpov

Teething: (teething is the WORST! We love all the silicone things to chew on, the teething tablets and teething liquid)
Smily penguin buddy teether https://a.co
Straight silicone teethers– these are really easy for them to get in their mouth- I put them in the freezer to keep cold. https://a.co/d/0644wbk
Teething tablets (daytime and nighttime) https://a.co/d/3IGlU6O
Teething liquid https://a.co/d/7aTfQxG
Misc:
Wearable baby carrier https://a.co/d/g3m3c88
Paci: every baby is different. my first loved the itsy rizy/Bibs and my second loved mam
Itsy Rizy Paci (I think these only go up to 6 months so after that we switched to Bibs)
https://a.co/d/g9oMvQV (do yourself a favor and get the glow in the dark ones so they can find it at night on their own)
Nursery Recliner and Swivel Glider (Sooo comfy! we love this one)
Diaper Caddy (I got several of these to keep around the house, in the car, etc and it makes life much easier instead of only keeping diapers in one place- they also work great for taking pumps/pump parts on the go)
Muslin Baby bibs (love these for when they are younger- for eating I prefer the ones that catch food) https://a.co/d/gEukyaI
Portable diaper changing pad (I keep this in his diaper bag to lay him on when we need to change him while out somewhere and it also keeps all the supplies we need inside it) https://a.co/d/8zXGmhi
Paci Case (clips to his bag so I always know where a paci is when I need it and I also clip it to my keys when I just need to run in somewhere with him and not take the whole bag) https://a.co/d/23V0OdY
Door silencer (this thing is great when going into or out of the room while they are asleep!) https://a.co/d/d3Z66Me

Stroller fan https://a.co/d/aF7tcLy
