Expecting your first little bundle of joy? Registering for all the necessities for your new baby is fun but it can be a bit overwhelming. I know walking into the store I was certainly overwhelmed trying to decide what we would need. Swings, bouncers, bottles, pacifiers, the list goes on and on. I think my hubby and I went around the store 5 times back and forth when we were registering!
The best advice I can give is to sit down and make a list of all the items you want before you go in to the store to register. Because when you walk in you will get distracted – especially by all the tiny adorable baby clothes and tiny itty bitty baby shoes! By making a list for yourself you can prevent accidentally forgetting to register for an important item.
Here are a few I would definitely recommend including on your registry –
- Crib Sheets – nice soft ones
- Sleep Sacks – safe and snuggly warm for baby
- Burp Cloths – having two babies with reflux burp cloths were a hot commodity in my house
- Diapers – lots and lots of diapers 🙂
- Pack-and-Play – Great for at home and trips to grandma and papas!
- Swing = my lifesaver, my girls only took naps in the swing
- Exersaucer – hours of fun/baby containment = priceless
Also here is a tip – Stick to gender neutral colors and styles for the bigger items. Chances are you’ll be hanging on to the bigger items for when baby #2 comes along 🙂

I would pick the essentials. I’d pick diapers (disposable and cloth to use for spit-up rags), Dreft, bottles, wipes, baby safety stuff like gates and outlet covers.
I would really like the Summer Infant Classic Comfort Wood Bassinet – Swingin Safari on my registry!
The most important pieces for a baby is a safe car seat and a good/safe crib.
Our must have baby item is a bouncy seat and a breast pump!
I need a car seat
I like the Baby Cache Vienna Chifferobe – Espresso. I also the pamper swaddlers
I would pick the Graco Glider LX Gliding Swing. Any kind of swing is a mom’s lifesaver!
A car seat is essential as is a stroller.
i would say a Baby Swing for sure! Diapers of course….
Diapers and a durable stroller
Lots of diapers and wipes & a comfy glider rocking chair…with ottoman and storage pockets!!
A boppy and a bumbo for sure. I loved both the first time around with my daughter.
I need a pregnancy wedge!
I’d like the Comfort & Harmony Cradling Bouncer – Cinnabloom. Bouncy chairs are great and this one is very cute!!
I hope I am the k.
