Items that should definitely be put on registry

jenny2508 · May 2011

Can I have some advice on the main items that should be placed on my shower registry? I think that I have done a pretty good job but some of my mom's friends have mentioned things to me so could I just get some ideas. Thanks ladies!

Bathing items. I underestimated how much the night bath would become part of our routine. So plenty of baby towels, shampoo/soap or your choice, a tub, cotton to wash those sensitive parts and some washcloths.

A hamper. Baby was in our room at first and for some reason we totally overlooked a hamper. I had to go out to target and get one of those pop up ones because they go through tons of clothes. Also if you plan on using specific baby detergent that is helpful as well.

A kit with a thermometer, nail clippers, brush etc

A playgym - or tummy time mat

A bassinet

A stroller/carseat

Bottles

Swaddling blankets

A swing and bouncy/vibrating chair

A highchair for down the road

Burping cloths - I underestimated how much I would need these. They were very useful in tucking under my boobs while breastfeeding. My MIL went out and bought me more because I only had 4.
