I can’t believe my first baby shower is this weekend! My younger sister has been working so hard on planning it and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ve gotten a lot of request asking about my baby registry. I decided to do my registry on Babylist.com and Target.com! Babyslist has the capability of allowing you to registry for items from multiple stores in one place! Its definitely one way too feel organized! And a score for me! Target is a great idea, most people are familiar with it and have one close by! And great for your shoppers who love to be in store!
I wanted to share with you guys our baby registry and baby registry must have items!
Thankfully I had my sister and cousin to help me through this process! As a new expecting mom it can be overwhelming. Trying to figure out what products you need and what are best for baby! The amount of choices out there are endless and can have you quickly overwhelmed! Being our first baby I wanted to make sure I was registering for all the right products. I started reaching out to my mommy friends, and family for advice, and researching a lot! You guys I had no clue or idea what I was doing!
The question most mom’s are wanting to know is what do they actually need for baby!
1) CARSEAT: We ended going with the Nuna. This is a critical item on the list in my opinion. Safety first! Both my sisters used this for their kids. We got the Nuna Lite and extra base (I recommend getting a second base) making it easier to pop between different cars. They are expensive!
2.) STROLLER: I absolute love the stroller we got! C/O Baby’s on Broadway we got the Peg Perego Agio Z4! This stroller is extremely easy to use and has a reversible seat option. I love that its compatible with the Nuna. Its such a beautiful stroller!
3.) BASSINET: This is pretty special my husbands family has had a “family bassinet” in their family for the last 75 years. That almost every family member has slept in! It such an honor to be able to have this apart of our little babes life! C/O Delta Children we got the Simmons Kids Classic Silent Auto Bassinet.
4.) GLIDER: This was something I originally wasn’t planning on getting! After talking with my mommy friends and family; we realized how important it was to get one! Late night feedings, story time and snuggling with the babe! My tip is to narrow down what you like, and sitting in as many chairs as possible! We end up going with this one from Baby’s on Broadway!!! (The color option is endless) It was $50 less here and Adele the store owner is seriously amazing! They truly care about their customers and making sure that YOU are happy with what you want! I love how easy she was to work with and helped us narrow down color based on what we were going for!
5.) DOCKATOT: Several of my mommy friends said this was a lifesaver from them! I love that the DockATot is multi-functional severing as place that your little one can get cozy, secure, snooze, play and have tummy time! This portable/ lightweight lounger makes it perfect for traveling! “C/O” of DockATot we went with the marble pattern; perfect for our gender neutral theme!
6.) BABY MONITOR: I love this monitor! Its so stinking cute! Another essential item on the list in my opinion.
7.) SLEEP SACK: The Halo Sleep Sacks are suppose to be the best on the market! All our mommy friends swore by this! These are so simple that anyone can figure out how to swaddle baby making life a little easier! Avoiding a blanket that can become loss and cover your babies face and cause issues.
8.) BABY CARRIER: A baby carrier in my opinion is a essential baby gear item your going to want! Especially if you are active or like to travel!! “C/O” LiLLEBaby we went with the All Season Baby Carrier! We love how versatile this one is and can hold from 7 to 45lbs.
9.) DIAPER PALE: We decieded to go with the Ubbi Pale for the fact that it didnt require any speciality type of bag to go inside. Which in the long run I think is a huge money saver! This make the top 10 for the fact your going to be changing alot of diapers and having a place to put them without having smell rid your home!
10.) WHITE NOISE: Almost all my mommy friends and family members have sworn by a white noise machine! There are several great choices out there!! We ended up going with both the Hatch Rest ( something that can grow with them) and the Marpac Hushh !!
