Registry… ? Help.

So I am working on putting my registry together and frankly this is probably one of the most overwhelming things I’ve done (short of growing a human). Are the must haves/wants/needs that everyone is adding to their registries? Thanks!

Ugh I could use the help to it’s so stressful was just talking about this today

Baby bottles if you plan on pumping or formula feeding, breast milk storage bags, boppy pillow, nursing tank tops and bras, bamboo sleepers, white onesies long sleeve and short sleeve, Muslim blankets, pacifiers, bottle warmer, wipe warmer. Diapers and wipes of course

Newborns don't need a lot at first. Think sleep, feeding, and changing. Focus on making those three things as comfortable as possible. Also travel - carseat, stroller, etc. Also, for things like bottles, don't buy a ton of the same kind before you have a chance to use them. Make sure baby will actually like them because you may end up going out to exchange them anyway. Same with other things like blankets. Maybe you decide you hate meuselin blankets more than you thought you would. Also remember that if you have help, you can send someone to the drugstore to pick up something you forgot. My husband had to run out a few times a week to get more bottle nipples, different diapers, etc. It's not a deadline when baby arrives, you can still go out and get things after the fact if you have to.

I used baby list to narrow down items and YouTube for reviews! Amazon is great for a baby registry I linked mine for an example maybe it’ll help get a base! Everything I got I’ve used a ton of times except bottles/ pacifiers because I ebf- Sarah Poole and Victor Cortez's Baby Registry https://www.amazon.com/baby-reg/sarah-poole-victor-cortez-may-2024-beaverton/3RKBLEKPV4W7Q?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_H04NK5YZ4Z50D70MRY0E&language=en_US

I've been using babylist to build my registry. The checklist has been SUPER helpful in guiding me on things I might not have thought about. And you can add items from almost anywhere online. (So you don't have to limit yourself to just one store) There are several items I don't want or need, and I've just checked them off as complete so I can focus on the other items. When I'm in the mood to work on it, I pick a checklist item, do some research (if needed) and then find the item on Amazon, Target, or wherever and add it to the list. I just chip away at it from time to time. I also made my husband a contributer so he can help too. Don't stress yourself out. You've got plenty of time to chip away at it. ❤️

Put stuff you want so even if someone doesn’t buy it you get the discount

Id do receiving blankets, burp clothes, what soap you wanna use, bottles you wanna use or if your gonna breast feed.- stuff for that, bath stuff, diapers, wipes you wanna use. Bouncer, pack and play. People can always go in together on things ECT.. or put what you want and they can pick and choose.. (a message from my mom) Def use receiving blankets alot and burp cloths. Wash clothes, towels.. a boppy pillow.. swaddles (another message from my mom) As another comment said I would focus on changing feeding sleeping and travel (car seat stroller) also tummy time mat might be useful as well
