I'm working on my registry and am wondering what I really need for baby?

Any advice would be appriciated! I've already completed the nursery...

    This is a decent list of new baby basics from ConsumerReports.com: Link.

    There was also a discussion on 0-3 a few days ago about what moms consider "immediate needs" for baby with a lot of suggestions: Link.

    Thanks for the links. I realized moments after I posted it that it was a dumb question. I'm sure it's annoying being asked "What do I need". I'll make sure to visit both of the pages you sent. Big Smile

    Do you have a friend/sister/sister-in-law who is already a mom who can go with you to BRU (or wherever you're registering)?  I found it immensely helpful to go with someone who already went through the newborn/baby stage and could tell me what was really necessary and what wasn't.

    This.  It would have been paralyzingly overwhelming if I had gone by myself.

    A few non-obvious items:

    - cloth diapers (Gerber makes them) to use as burp cloths

    - Aden & Anais blankets for swaddling

    - the Fisher Price Rock N Play sleeper

    - an Ergo-type carrier, NOT the Baby Bjorn.  We got a Pikkolo. 

    Don't bother registering for any clothes, blankets, or bibs if you are having a shower - you will get a million of them from everyone you know.
