Registry Essentials-Recommendations?

I know this has been posted before, but I couldn't find much when I did a search...

For those of you who are new mommies (or BTDT mommies), could you please list the items you registered for that were the most useful?

I am going to register in the next few weeks, and I am more than slightly overwhelmed.

Thank you!!!

Re: Registry Essentials-Recommendations?

These were things that came in handy with my son and I am hoping that they will come in handy with dd this time around....

swing

bouncy seat

boppy

i will think of anything else...but those 3 things helped me a lot.

I think for the little things, like bottles and bibs and stuff like that get what you like the most. Dr Brown's bottles were good in the beginning and then I switched to Avent.

The newborn to toddler rocker
Boppy Pillow
Swing
burp cloths (I went through a ton)
crib sheets
mattress pads
pajama's (everyone just got me regular clothes for the baby)

These are just a few. Hope this helps!
