Baby Registry Review

Ok guys. I am working on my baby registry and I was wondering if you guys would mind looking through my registry and let me know if there is anything I should include or strike off. I am still working on it and I don't know the sex yet. So once I know I will be adding more clothing for the boy or the girl.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

I looked quickly from my phone and didn't see any bibs. We went through a million bibs daily when DD was a newborn. I also counted 3 carriers and 2 breast pumps. Was that intentional?

I'd definitely suggest a Rock 'n Play. It was so useful. You may want to think about a bouncer. What I liked about it was that I could move it from room to room with ease. You are not going to lug that big swing around the house.

I don't think you need to register for clothes. People are going to buy you clothes regardless and clothing tends to go out of stock quickly as the season changes.

From recommendations I got, the Carters onesies are better than the Gerber ones.

Also the Bundle Me you have registered is supposedly unsafe. The safe one is the shower cap type known as the JJ Cole Car Seat Cover.

Re: Baby Registry Review

why so many bobby pillows ?
while those thermometers are good you def will need a rectal one. not sure if thats something you wanted to reg for or buy yourself. just wanted to make sure.

Looking quickly....

Do you have a mattress pad for the crib?
You already have an infant car seat? Stroller?

I would take off the gerber onesies and just register for all carters. Gerber onesies shrink super quick. Carters is much better quality.

Re: Baby Registry Review

i dont think you need two breast pumps - and before registering for one i would see if your insurance covers it or not

i would also get less on the newborn diapers - dd fit into the newborn size for a short period of time. it all depends how big the baby is when they are born.

i also dont think you need the avent bottle sterilizer or warmer if you are getting the avent solution set (which says it includes the sterilizer, bottles, warmer and brush) - i never found the need for 2 sanitizers or warmers

i would add:
car seat
stroller
diaper bag
some plain pacifiers (without the stuffed animal attached)
swaddle blankets
swaddle sleep sacks
pack n play sheets
changing table pad
changing table pad covers
towels
wash cloths
desatin (or some other diaper rash cream)
crib mobile (the Tiny Love one seems to get rave reviews so thats what we got and dd does love it)
bouncer seat (i used this daily when on maternity leave - it was small enough to bring into the bathroom with me while i showered since i was home alone)
maybe add some stroller/car seat toys that can be attached using these



less formula if you plan on trying to breast feed - sign up for the free samples from enfamil

eta - i agree with everyone about the onsies, i would remove the gerber they shrink a lot

Re: Baby Registry Review

I would add one or two more crib mattress pads. Also maybe some Desitin or A&D ointment.

Re: Baby Registry Review

Add some sheet savers. Must have, especially in the beginning.

Humidifier
Nose frida

I would add some sort of bouncy seat.

I wouldn't register for formula - use samples/hospital samples until you figure out which one works best for your baby.

ETA - I also found it very hard to get an ear temp out of a squirmy baby. I would look into a rectal thermometer instead (when you call the ped, they are going to ask what the temp was rectally when they are so young).
