Is it appropriate to register for...

kittytaylor1

Breastfeeding products (ie: pumps, nipple shields, etc.)? Just wondering if people would find that awkward or not.

I registered for them, but didn't actually receive any of them.  I don't see anything wrong with it.  Lots of women have them on their registries.

I think it's fine. BFing is a fact of life. If they are uncomfortable, they can buy something else!

mrskadams

I didn't but lots of people do.  At the least, you can always use the completion code to help you buy an expensive pump.

sarahNjoe2006

yes it is.  I am not planning on BF.  I am going to FF, and I registered for bottles and such.  No reason you should register for the things you and your baby need.

Plenty of people do it, but I never felt comfortable so I bought those items myself.

JARbaby

Yes adn that way you can use the completion coupon toward it.

ElizC

These are all things I plan on or have bought myself.  I actually used gift cards people gave me towards this stuff.  I just didn't feel comfortable with putting this on my registry.

i put it on mine

I registered for it. I don't really care if people find it awkward, though some might. It's the facts of life, baby! :-P

My cousin did and somebody actually bought the pump. I'm registered for my pump, but I don't really expect anyone to get it.

i didn't register for them.  when i went in to complete my registry, BRU let me add them to get the 10% off.  so i just stocked up on some items then.  my MIL commented that she didn't think anyone would buy the baby's butt paste becuase some people would even find that weird.... she was wrong.  you never know... maybe someone would buy it.

binkythepalehorseofcool

I registered for all of that. No one got it but I still put it up there b/c those things are expensive!

I find it incredibly awkward, personally.  Several of my friends have done it, but I think it's kind of like the maxi pads after giving birth- some things you just buy for yourself!

Brian&Nikki

I registered but also did not receive any.

busygal

I didn't put cream or pads on my registry (nor did I put my pump because it's too $$$ and I didn't want my shower attendees to think I was greedy). But I did register for a nursing stool, storage bags, etc., so that people would know I was planning to nurse.

I tried to take a middle ground...

TimingisEverything

I registered for them.

brookieandphil

I did if people dont feel comfortable getting them for you they wont.  Also, you can use your coupon after the baby comes to buy it yourself if they are on the registry!

BearsMrs

I would never register for those items- they seem like personal products- no different from tampons & such. 

leslienpete

I don't think it is appropriate. But, I know a lot of people put them on their registry. I think it is more of a question of how YOU feel about it.

On a side note (not saying it will happen to you), a few years back we had a shower for a girl here at work. It was kind of an open invitation for anyone to come. Well, this weird creepy guy here came and gave her nursing pads and nipple cream. How weird is that???

jacynicole

I wouldn't have until Babies R Us told me that you get 10% off what ever is not bought off off your register.  I think it is personal but I want it cheaper and if someone buys if for me, that is one less thing to buy myself. 

redleo_81

I registered for my breast pump and a good friend purchased it for me.  I also registered for breast pads. 

girlystone

Against my Mom's advise, I put these on my registry.  I don't plan on anybody buying them for me (except my Mom or close female relative) but I want to use my completion certificate for them.  It will save me a fair amount of money and every bit will help!

NYBride2005

i didn't feel comfortable registering for them so I just decided to get them on my own but I have seen them on many people's registries and if you need/want it then why not.

jwt6

I registered for them. I didn't expect someone to buy the pump since it is so $$. But hey, at least I will be able to get the discount when I do go and buy it later.

mlemoine

I think so... even if you noone buys any of it for you, you can use the completion coupon to purchas the items yourself. 

MrsWarner

I registered, not that I expect to get anything, but for the completion coupon.

lbitz

I did and I got most of the stuff on there. I already had the pump so I didn't have to worry about that. The way my friends and family are, I probably would've gotten tampons if I would've registered for those! We're all really close and it wasn't awkward at all. They gave me a whole "boobie" basket as well as a whole "butt" basket (diaper creams, wipes...)

mrs.Jonas

heck yeah, I got a ton of stuff at both showers and won't need tobuy anything for months! I got 4 packs of breast pads, a few packs of seal and store bags, nipple cream, even breast stuff I didn't ask for but my friends knew from expereince I would need it. I wouldn't be bashful about adding it.

mich11680

I registered for the pump and bags to freeze the milk.  SOmeone bought the bags and I'll just use the coupon for the pump myself.

Ally3411

I registered for a manual pump and had a friend (happens to not have kids, but is a nanny) who upgraded me to an electric AND bought ALL accessories to go with it.

 

I don't think people will be offended, register for what YOU would like and if they don't want to buy it, they won't. 

ncsubride

We didn't but I don't see anything wrong with it.
