My DS is about to turn 18 and this baby boy is our miracle baby that was not supposed to be possible. Boy have things changed since I did this the first time. If you could recommend one thing for me to have on my registry what would it be? THANKS!

If you scroll to the bottom and search registry you will find several good threads on this topic

I've read thru them....I'm not looking for a generic list, just some suggestions on what one thing has been helpful to the people here.

I have yet to have a baby but a ton of my friends have recently and they can't seem to live without a rock and sleeper! Super light and portable and babies love them:)

Rock and Play, Aden and Anais swaddle blankets, baby gowns- these make the first few weeks of nighttime diaper changes fast and easy!

There's a thread that asks STM+ what their top 5 items would be. I can't remember the title but it was helpful to other users.

@PinkLady2015 just bumped it. It's called "top 5 must haves."

Also there are specific threads for baby monitors, breast pumps since my suggestion was to "generic " for you...

Look up lucies list. She has a registry guide that I used for our first that was a huge help. She takes items and marks if it's a must have, nice to have, totally frivolous and also gives estimated cost ranges. I started registries in store with dh but went through her guide and finished online.

FTM, so I don't have any specific recommendation, but we got the book Baby Bargins- it's a bit overwhelming but does a good job of organizing all the things you may need, and telling you what's a waste of money, what's a good deal, and rates everything. It's been really helpful so far.

Nose Freida.  Rock and play.

I'm a FTM also but I'm really looking forward to using my mamaroo!

STM and just bought a rock and play finally! I would also recommend a cheap bouncer seat for the bathroom you use most often. For some reason we used that a lot.

I'm a second time mom, but with my first I would say a pack and play is a must have  We used it all the time going up north and when we would stay at friend's houses. The bassinet in it is really as well.
