Ultimate Baby Registry Checklist – Everything You Need & Why

Ultimate Baby Registry Checklist

Overwhelmed by the amount of baby stuff out there?!

This is the ultimate guide to what you actually need on your baby registry!

I’ve linked to my favorite products- because choosing a brand/product/model will make your head spin. You can also sign up below and I’ll email you a PDF checklist that you can write on or bring to the store with you!

If I’ve missed anything, please leave me a comment and let us all know to add it to our lists.

Some of these links are affiliate, which helps support our family without affecting your price or any coupon codes. Win-win!

Where should you do a baby registry?

People shop online so much more than they did a few years ago, so an Amazon Baby Registry is a must have. Plus there are massive perks – we actually got a huge diaper discount for months after our baby was born! And best of all, you get 10% off your remaining items. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, it bumps up to 15%. (Click here to get a free 30 day trial of Prime Family and get addicted haha.) They also send you a free welcome box- mine even had a onesie and swaddle!

Of course, just because you have a registry doesn’t mean you have to share it with people, so I would sign up everywhere and get all your registry freebies, discount coupons, and free registry returns!

Amazon Registry Sign-Up
BuyBuyBaby Registry Sign-Up
Target Registry Sign-Up
Walmart Registry Sign-Up

Seriously, no harm done by signing up for all 4. And some people prefer to shop in-person, anyway.

NURSERY MUST-HAVES:

Crib
Affordable: White // Gray // Brown // Navy // Chestnut
Splurge: Gorgeous Vintage Gold  //  Black Mid Century // Gunmetal // Antique Gray // Weathered Brown

We painted a hand-me-down crib for our first baby. Honestly, it’s not worth the effort! You have to be so careful of paint toxicity, and it can easily get damaged during moving or while baby is teething. Just get a gender-neutral crib that you love and can use for all your babies!

Crib Mattress
Our babies spend a LOT of time in their cribs, so I highly recommend a non-toxic mattress! Make sure it is water-resistant so you can simply wipe it down after messy incidents. This one is my favorite – one side is harder and safer, and one side is softer for toddlers. Toddler beds use the same mattress, so you will get years of use out of this investment!

Glider/Rocker
With my first baby, I chose one of the most affordable gliders. It got the job done, but the cheaper ones are pretty narrow. That makes nursing difficult, and my 6’2” husband definitely couldn’t fit into it! With my second, we invested in a rocker that looks more like an armchair. The color is gorgeous and we can move it into the living room to use for years down the road! (Getting the theme yet? I’m all able getting years out of baby purchases!) Also, I just found this tan leather rocker that’s dreamy and oh-so mid-century!

Dresser (or Changing Table)
Changing tables are one of the most “one time use” baby products out there! So unnecessary. Just get a dresser you really love and put a changing pad on top. You’d have to get a changing pad for a changing table, anyway, so this way you’re getting a quality piece that can grow with your child.

Changing Pad
This is our tried-and-true favorite changing pad. You can even get a second one if your house has two stories, so your postpartum, sore, stitched up body doesn’t have to travel far.

Changing Pad Cover
This makes your changing pad less chilly and more cute. It’s a fun way to bring your nursery theme to life beyond the wall color! The minky ones are especially cozy.

Bassinet
You will want baby to sleep in your room for probably the first 6 months. A bassinet is a safe way to have them feel secure in something smaller than a crib. (This is a gorgeous one.) You can also invest in a Pack and Play that has a bassinet attachment- but these are a lot harder to fit into small bedrooms. This is a more expensive bassinet that rocks the baby and does other cool things.

You’ve probably heard a lot about SnuggleMes and Dock a Tots. We didn’t use them (they made me nervous), but they are worth looking into.

Best Baby Registry Checklist

Swaddle Blankets (2-3)
I have strong opinions about this, haha! We spent HUNDREDS on a million different swaddles and sleep sacks. I finally wised up and purchased the Ollie Swaddle. It’s a cooling, wicking fabric and is one-size-fits-all. Baby’s arms can be in or out. And it has a giant piece of Velcro for adjusting, instead of those tiny cheap velcro strips on SwaddleMes that end up wearing out. If I was starting from scratch, I’d get 2-3 Ollies and call it a day. (Worried about baby getting cold? Just dress them in warmer layers underneath!)

Crib Sheets (3-4)
Another cute way to tie your nursery theme in. You definitely want a few for middle of the night blowouts. And honestly, you just don’t want to do laundry EVERY SINGLE DAY.

White Noise Machine
This is our favorite that plugs into the wall! I also recommend this travel white noise machine. It comes in handy for sure as we are out and about. Plus it’s a great backup for when your power goes out!

Nightlight
This is a cute one. This is a cheap one. Haha! Your choice.

Baby Clothes Hangers (30)
No need to spend lots. I recommend white, not blue or pink – why rebuy for the next baby if you don’t have to?

BONUS: Nursery Decor
You get to be so creative with your nursery! Eventually your kids will be opinionated, but this is your chance to make things beautiful before someone demands a My Little Pony room. 😉 Here are my posts about my first son’s World Travel/Map nursery theme, and my second son’s Woodland Adventure nursery theme. My favorite stores for this are Project Nursery, Etsy, and Target.

BABY FEEDING MUST-HAVES:

Bottles (4-6)
Even if you’re planning to breastfeed, you will want to leave your baby or have a break at some point! People get very opinionated about bottle brands. We used Dr Brown bottles because they have an anti-gas design, but a lot of people like Comotomo because they imitate the breast more closely. And other people prefer glass bottles to avoid plastic. 

Bottle Drying Rack
This is our favorite! A lot of people prefer the Boon “grass,” but I’m a germophobe and can’t stand the idea of all that grossness hanging out in those little parts. 

Bottle Brush
This is our favorite. This is a great sustainable option that won’t wear out.

Microwave Sterilizer
Forget boiling water – no new mama has that kind of time! Wash your bottles, then pop them in here with water and microwave. Tada! You can put pacifiers and breast pump parts in there too. Seriously. GET THIS. If traveling, buy these microwave sterilizer bags.

Pacifiers (3 different brands)
You will end up getting various pacifiers from goodie bags, registry welcome gifts, etc. I recommend seeing what you get, and then adding a 2 pack of Soothies. They tend to be favorites! Around here, my boys preferred Nuk pacifiers, so you can go with your gut. The main idea is to have a few options on hand. Baby is going to be opinionated, so it’s good to have choices for them.

Best Baby Registry Checklist

BONUS: Wubbanub
Not necessary, but so so cute! If you plan to “push” the Soothies, these Wubbanubs help keep the pacifier in their mouth. Baby can also learn to find the pacifier and reinsert it after it’s fallen out, which is THE BEST THING they could ever learn. 😉 

This is an alternative that attaches to non-Soothie pacifiers!

Pacifier Clips (3)
These are cute leather options! These are cute too.

Haakaa and Lid
When baby is nursing on one side, the other side also experiences a “let down” of milk. This can be really messy, but is also wasting precious milk! All you do is attach the Haakaa to the other side while nursing, and stick it in the fridge with the lid. Then once a day, pour it into a breastmilk bag and freeze! Tada! Milk without any pumping. 

Breastmilk Storage Bags (1 Box)
Start with one box until you know how often you’ll pump. (More boxes if you’ll be pumping for work, of course!) This is my favorite. 

Burp Cloths (8-10)
I’m opinionated about this too!! 😉 Again, we wasted so much money on useless (but cute) burp cloths! This is a parenting GEM: Buy trifold cloth diapers for burp cloths (there’s a lot of types- this is the one you want!). They are designed to hold in lots of pee, so they will literally absorb anything your baby could spit onto it (and trust me… your baby will seemingly explode milk onto your shoulder quite frequently). We have used these to absorb nasty spills from furniture, catch stomach virus throw-up, and a million other gross tasks. I will keep these in my house until the end of time! These are also great to tuck into your nursing bra during the first month of nursing, when milk is gushing everywhere. Nursing pads help, but can’t keep up at the beginning when your body is figuring out the right supply amount. 

Nursing Pillow
Some people think these aren’t necessary, but nursing can be really uncomfortable, ESPECIALLY with a c-section scar. Do yourself a favor and get a Boppy.

Nursing Pillow Covers (2)
So many cute options out there!! This one is a gorgeous floral one, and this one is a neutral gray with leaves. Both of them actually come with a Boppy.

Soft Bibs (6)
Soft and sweet, these help protect baby’s outfit from getting changed after every nursing session. 
Neutral Gray Set
Floral Set
Gorgeous Boy and Girl Sets

Silicone Bibs for Food (2)
Cloth bibs can’t handle baby food (pretty sure mushed carrot is the most staining substance on the planet). These catch falling food and are easily wiped clean. You will use these into toddlerhood!

BONUS: Silicone Mat for Tables 
Babies will typically just chuck a plate across the room at a restaurant. This sticks to the table, helping keep things clean and sanitary. 

High Chair
Make sure your high chair’s tray is removable for easy cleanup. Some people like these innovative ones that hook into the table/counter, but we prefer classic, stand-alone high chairs like this one!

BONUS: Travel High Chair 
We have a standalone high chair in our home, but we also keep a travel high chair in our car. This is so handy. Food trucks, grandma’s house, busy restaurants with no available high chairs, picnics- we continue to use it so much!

Baby Plates (4) and Baby Spoons (8)
Good plate and spoon options.

Sippy Cups
Moms everywhere seem to agree: The Miracle360 cup is the perfect first cup for baby!

BONUS: Baby Food Maker
This is a really great option if you’d like to make your own baby food. It’s so easy! If you’d rather blend/cook using what you already have, this allows you to fill your own pouches so baby can feed themself. 

BONUS: Mesh Feeder
This is so novel! You can put fresh fruit in here and give it to baby for safe food exploration. If you freeze it, it’s also great for teething relief.

BABY TOY/BOOK MUST HAVES:

Ultimate Baby Registry Checklist

“Lovie”
So sweet and such a great thing for your memory box! 
Bear // Bunny // Fawn // Fox // Hedgehog // Lamb // Puppy

Black & White Books (2)
Newborns only see in black and white and high contrast. We actually brought this book and this book to the hospital and our boys were so wide-eyed looking at them! They stimulate baby’s brain and are a great motivator for tummy time. 

Soft Toy Book
This one and this one are really cute. These are great to entertain baby.

Board Books (3-5)
Favorites include:
Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
First 100 Words
Goodnight Moon
Guess How Much I Love You
Moo Baa La La La
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Where is Baby’s Belly Button?

Rattle
This one and this one were both beloved by my boys!

Teethers (2)
These keys and this cooling teether are perfect.

Rubber Stacking Blocks
These have survived 5 years in our home and are going strong! So great for teething too.

Other Toys (3+)

Play Mat
This is a great way to stimulate baby’s senses and encourage tummy time (which babies worldwide agree is the WORST). Our babies loved this one, but there is also this cute option!

Exersaucer
Some people think this isn’t necessary. I think this is a no-brainer! I have taken countless showers thanks to this beautiful little creation. Baby can’t use it til they are a bit older, but you will be SO glad you have it!

BABY HEALTH/SAFETY MUST-HAVES:

Best Baby Registry Checklist

Baby Monitor
With our first baby, we went cheap- and definitely regretted it! This Infant Optics monitor has been going strong for almost 3 years. The camera is amazing (it comes with a zoom lens, too), and I love that it tells me the room temperature.

Outlet Covers (20+)
Yes, we have to teach our kids to avoid dangerous things. But personally, I don’t want to set them up for a deadly mistake. This is a great, affordable pack. This one is really convenient too because you can keep things plugged in.

House Safety Kit
This is a good bundle of home safety tools. Also, we bought oven knob covers and a fridge lock. We also have this baby gate, which I love because I can open it with my foot (nothing like having to touch a bunch of surfaces after a poopy diaper!). 

Baby Thermometer (Rectal)
You want to do your research with this one. Or you could just trust my over the top research. 😉 A bad thermometer means inconsistent and dangerous readings. 

Humidifier (Cool Mist)
Personally, this is one of my top must-haves! After your baby’s first cold, you will seriously be regretting not having this in your home. Honestly, you’ll probably want one for every person’s bedroom. 😉 MAKE SURE it’s cool mist, so boiling steam and water isn’t near your baby.

Best Baby Registry Checklist

Snot Sucker
Just get the Nose Frida. OK, hear me out. I’m telling you to buy something that allows YOU to personally suck the snot out of your baby’s nose using your mouth. (I’ll wait for you to return after throwing up now.) Guysss. There’s a filter and a lot of stuff between you and that snot. And it WORKS! When your baby is stuffed up and miserable and you are up all night long paranoid that they can’t breathe, you’ll be kicking yourself for not getting this. 

Saline Nasal Drops 
Definitely want these around.

Baby Tylenol 
Obviously check with your pediatrician before using. But have it on hand!

Gas Drops
A God-send.

Gripe Water
Another God-send that you can use at the same time as the first God-send for a double whammy.

Nail Clippers 
These are our favorite!

Hairbrush 
This is a sweet option.

Laundry Detergent (scent free)
I’m about to burst a lot of bubbles. Don’t buy Dreft!! Any pediatrician will tell you that Dreft actually causes a lot of sensitivity issues for baby. It’s filled with scents and unnecessary ingredients. You want to get an *unscented* clean detergent. This can be as simple as All Free & Clear or any of the other major brands’ “clean” options. Yes, you can definitely splurge on even better options, but I’m simply advocating for leaving the scents far far behind us!

Best Baby Registry Checklist

BONUS: Owlet Smart Sock 
Many parents invest in this for peace of mind. It alerts you when baby’s heart rate or oxygen level is dangerous. With so many stories of SIDS, this helps parents rest peacefully.

BABY KEEPSAKE MUST-HAVES:

Baby Book
This is a really sweet option. This is a really cool option!

Best Baby Registry Checklist

Pregnancy Journal
I loved this pregnancy journal!! We have a lot more time to journal before baby gets here.

Baby’s Going Home Outfit
See the Clothing section below for my favorite shops!

Baby’s Birth Announcement Blanket
Basically just a sweet swaddling blanket that you really like and can wrap baby in for their announcement photo.
Bear // Floral // Leaves

Baby Month/Milestone Photo Stickers 
Girl options: This // This // This // This
Boy options: This // This // This // This
Wooden: This // This // This // This

BABY BATHTIME MUST-HAVES:

Baby Shampoo/Body Wash
This is a good option. I lean more natural on these products since baby’s skin is their largest organ!

Baby Lotion
This is a good option.

Baby Bathtub
This one is a standalone that can go over your sink, on the counter, in the bathtub – it’s very versatile.

We splurged for this one with our second. It’s a lot cozier and fits in the sink, but works for a shorter amount of time.

BONUS: Laundry Basket for Bath 
This is a mom hack! Once baby outgrows their baby tub, they often feel overwhelmed and scared in the big bathtub. Put a plastic laundry basket in the tub so they have something to hold on to. 

Washcloths (5)
These are so soft!

Best Baby Registry Checklist

Hooded Towel
Bear // Ducky // Fox // Kitty // Lamb // Lion // Puppy // Shark // Cute Lemon Towel

Bath Kneeler
Your knees will thank you for years to come!

Tub Toys
Green Toys Tugboat
Cute Animal Squirt Toys
Windup Swimming Penguin
Floating Sensory Balls
Bath Toy Scoop and Storage

BONUS: Faucet Cover
Not necessary, but helpful to keep baby from hitting their head on the tub faucet.

BABY DIAPERING MUST-HAVES:

Diapers
Your baby is going to FLY through diapers. Get a lot, in a lot of sizes. 

Personally, I would buy a small box of newborn diapers, but not register for them. You’ll get plenty from the hospital, and your baby won’t be in them long. Register for Sizes 1-4. Pampers Swaddlers is used in hospitals and is our favorite for the first several months of baby’s life.

Wipes
Lots and lots and lots and lots. 

This brand is our favorite “regular” type – we always get sensitive skin versions. These Water Wipes were a lifesaver during a really nasty diaper rash. These wipes are a happy medium – if I was having another baby, I would get a bunch of these for the first 4ish months when baby is so sensitive.

Aquaphor
Just trust me and get this.

Desitin
Cheap, miracle working stuff

BONUS: Diaper Caddy 
You can easily carry this throughout the house, stocked with essentials. Especially convenient for two story homes or if you had a c-section!

BONUS: Cloth Diaper Supplies
I didn’t cloth diaper, but this is a great beginner’s guide to cloth diapering and all you need to purchase.

BABY GEAR MUST-HAVES

Diaper Bag
I love a good diaper backpack!! This way Dad can wear it without feeling like he has a purse. 😉 This one has worked for our family for 3 years without showing any damage.

Structured Baby Carrier
Highly, highly, highly recommend the LilleBaby AirFlow Complete! Probably the baby product I rave about the most.

Best Baby Registry Checklist

Wrap or Ring Baby Carrier
This is nice to have for baby’s first few months. They will want to be attached to you 24/7, and this allows you to do other things while helping them feel secure. Some superhero moms even nurse while they are walking around – I wasn’t that coordinated. 😉 Here is my recommended wrap, and here is a highly praised ring sling.

Infant Car Seat/Base
This is our go-to car seat that protected our baby in a serious car accident! Here is an extra base, so you can have one in someone else’s car and simply click the car seat into it.

Car Seat Cover
There are two general types: Infinity scarves and canopies. Canopies allow you to see baby much more easily. I’m not a big fan of the scarf design for car seat covers!
Clouds // Herringbone // Gray Leaves // Green w/Leaves // Lemons
This one is so cozy and warm if you live in a super cold climate.

Convertible Car Seat
Around baby’s first birthday, you’ll switch to a convertible seat. I highly recommend keeping baby rear-facing as long as possible (their spines are very fragile for the first several years!). The Graco Extend-2-Fit 3-in-1 allows them to rear-face until they are 50 pounds and has extendable leg panels for tall kids! My son rear-faced until he was 4 1/2. We will continue to use the seat as a forward-facing 5-point harness and a high-back booster. This one seat will finish out his car seat needs!

Car Mirror
This is a simple mirror that allows the driver to see baby easily. Our second son HATED the car and screamed the entire time for months. So in desperation, we found this mirror. It lights up and plays soothing music (controlled by a remote), and it transformed his car experience.

Stroller
With my first, I didn’t realize that the car seat and stroller needed to be compatible. Oops! Returns were a hassle. SO, if you’re getting a Graco car seat like the one I talked about above, you want a Graco-compatible stroller. This one is great!

Jogging Stroller (if needed)
We got this one and it’s our favorite stroller yet. It’s not compatible with a Graco car seat, but we switched to it after baby was old enough to sit up on his own. This stroller has handled sand, dirt, gravel, and all sorts of terrain, and baby is really comfortable through it all!

Swing
This is our favorite, but it’s large. If you are in an apartment or need a smaller footprint, this one gets the job done and folds for travel. 

Best Baby Registry Checklist

Bouncer
I rave about this automatic bouncer!! So clever! It’s battery-operated and will bounce baby instead of you having to do it. This thing was so soothing during those early newborn months when baby is extra fussy. It plays several different songs, too. Such a hidden gem!

Pack and Play
I recommend this one. It has the bassinet and changing table attachments. Eventually, if you travel, you’ll want to get a Pack and Play mattress to make it more comfortable for your toddler. 

BABY CLOTHING MUST-HAVES

(Per Size; Newborn & 0-3 Mo)


Onesies (8-10)
Pants (6-8)
Footie Sleepers (8-10)
Seasonal Hats (2-3)
Socks (5-8)
Cotton Mittens (3) (these are good!)

Our favorite stores for baby clothes are:
BabyGap
Carter’s
H&M
Janie & Jack
Maisonette
Monica & Andy
Old Navy
Osh Kosh B’Gosh
Target

Ultimate Baby Registry Checklist

BONUS: Adorable Soft Soled Shoes
Ok, you don’t need them. But you want them. 😉 
Girl options: Rose Gold Moccasins // Pink Glitter Shoes // Leopard Moccasins
Boy options: Camel Oxfords // Gray Leather Moccasins // Brown Sneakers
Winter boots: Girl // Boy

NURSING MOM MUST-HAVES

Reusable Nursing Pads (14-16)
Don’t waste your time on the disposable pads. They are scratchy and show through your clothes and end up being lots of money. Get these!

Nursing Cover
Certainly not required, but a lot of moms feel more comfortable with one as they are learning the ropes of breastfeeding. Without a cover, my baby was very distractible. I much prefer the infinity scarf type – the aprons leave your back exposed.

Girl options: Black Floral // Blue Floral // Watercolor Floral
Boy options: Bears //  Blue Buffalo Check // Arctic Bears //
Neutral options: Green Leaves // Gray Leaves // Black Hearts // B&W Stripes

Nipple Cream
Yep. Definitely needed.

Microwave/Freezer Breast Compresses
Another hidden gem a lot of moms don’t know about. Nursing can be very painful! Another new product to look at is these silver nursing cups.

Best Baby Registry Checklist

BONUS: Willow Wearable Breast Pump 
When I exclusively pumped for my first son, I wish this had been an option!! To me, this is a non-negotiable if you will be working and pumping exclusively. I’m so thankful that this technology exists for moms now. 

Strapless Nursing Tank
I rave about this in my best nursing-friendly dresses post! It attaches to your nursing bra, essentially turning every shirt into a nursing shirt. You simply detach your bra (like normal), pulling the top of the tank down, but keeping the rest of your abdomen covered.

Nursing Bras (2-3)
These are really comfy. These are more sophisticated and closed to a “normal” bra. I would start with the comfy ones and wait a few months to invest in the normal ones – your size will fluctuate so much until your milk is established.  

Comfy Loungewear
Newborn stage is a survival stage. Your body is going through so much (did you know that you’ll cramp every time you nurse for the first couple weeks?). Invest in yourself with some cute loungewear! Target always has comfy options. Comfort is also key when you’re awaiting the signs that labor is coming soon.

Robe
This is a must-have for your hospital stay and newborn stage. Nursing causes all sorts of milk stains, and you might be too tender for a bra sometimes. A robe can easily be thrown on when visitors are around. This beautiful black one is sophisticated, and these are some gorgeous floral patterns.

Best Baby Registry Checklist

BONUS: Support Pillow 
Someone recently gave me this idea and it’s genius! Mom’s posture often suffers while nursing, but a big structured support pillow helps you sit up in bed and provides relief.

NEW MOM MUST-HAVES:

Peppermint Oil for Nausea
I brought peppermint oil and cotton balls for labor. I would put a few drops on a cotton ball and smell it to get me through contractions and nausea. It helped me focus on something outside of my pain. See my notes below for which essential oil brand.

Stretch Mark Lotion
This is a good option! Best to start applying BEFORE you have stretch marks. 

Best Baby Registry Checklist

Postpartum Belly Band
These are miracle workers. During your postpartum stage, your body has excess “relaxin” which means your bones/muscles/etc have both widened and are more flexible. (Childbearing hips, anyone?) You want to use a belly band and/or a hip band before that relaxin goes away, so you can coach your body into a smaller shape.

Sitz Bath Spray 
Yep. You want some.

Lavender Oil for Padsicles
I’m writing a blog post on these soon, but you definitely pick up some lavender oil to create these beauties. Not all essential oil is equal – I actually had a bad allergic reaction to poor quality lavender oil off Amazon. This is my favorite Amazon brand.

Best probiotic for nursing and breastfeeding

BONUS: A Quality Probiotic
I have recently realized how much gut health affects the entire body. A quality probiotic (not all of them are quality!) is one of the best and easiest ways to ensure your body is well-prepared to birth and nourish your precious baby! I have a whole probiotic blog post, but you can also click here to shop Seed’s Daily Synbiotic and use code HIPSTERMAMA15 for 15% off! 🙂

What You Don’t Actually Need For Baby:

Car Seat Strap Covers/Seat Pads
Please don’t!! I don’t understand why they continue to sell these in major stores with cute designs, when every major car seat company strongly urges you NOT to use additional accessories like this. These can cause baby to be thrown out of the vehicle because they are not held as snugly.

Diaper Pail
Just use individual trash bags. Changing the pail bags is a hassle.

Sleep Sacks/A Million Swaddles
See my note above on the Ollie swaddle!

Bottle Warmer
Just microwave a mug of water for 1-2 minutes. Then stick the bottle in there until it’s warm. Make sure you roll the bottle side to side afterward to regulate the temperature (don’t shake!). 

Breast Pump
Your insurance should provide this for free.

Bottom Spray and Peri Bottle
Your hospital should provide these things. 

Wipe Warmer
8/10 moms will tell you, it’s a waste of space. 

Lots of Clothes
All those button downs and fancy outfits are cute, but you’ll end up using the same convenient sleepers and onesies over and over again. Just pick out some super cute sleepers and onesies that bring you joy! 😉

Lots of Toys
Just get the basics above. Baby will create so many toys out of boxes and other household treasures!

Crib Bumper/Cute Bedding Set 
This is a safety no-no! Safe sleep means a fitted sheet in a crib. No toys, blankets, bumpers, or pillows.

Bumbo 
Ehh. My babies never liked this! Maybe yours will. 

PHEW!!! Wow, that took a while to think through. I wanted to make this a solid resource you can come back to as you plan your baby registry and home needs for baby. I would love for you to share this with moms in your life! It’s an encouragement to me when others find my posts helpful and time-saving. There is a pinnable image below and share buttons at the bottom of my post! <3
