Overwhelmed with registry stuff!

JustcallmeGG2

I just started my registry.  The plan was to do everything in February, but I was bored, so why not.  I am not adding big items until then.

I see

Rock and Play Sleepers (everyone has been raving about these)

and Cradle/ Swings...

When do you use these

and do I need two of both?

The R&P's are pretty new; they didn't have those when my boys were born but we had two bouncy seats and used them a LOT. We only had one swing but two would have been really helpful. You can start with one and see if both babies like it before getting a second.

Swings we used for variety, for soothing, for one baby who wouldn't nap if brother was trying to nap, etc.

Also, if it helps, these are my twin registry recs:

(My boys will be 3 next week so I'm sure some product recs might have changed already but it's a start!)

I didn't use the rock n plays. My boys are almost 8 months....I just didn't see the point and I didn't want them to be dependent on the rocking to sleep thing or being on an incline. But that was just my opinion. I know lots of ladies here love them.

 I have 3 swings...all were gifts. We have used them less than 5 times total so that was a huge waste.

The BIGGEST life saver in the beginning were the bouncers. DEFINITELY needed two of them.

We also got 1 exersaucer and 1 jumperoo. Now have 2 jumperoo because they are such a hit.

We registered for two rock n plays and then one of everything else (swing, bouncer, jumperoo). I figure we can switch them off from one thing to the other, and if they both really fall in love with the same thing then we'll go out and buy a second one. We live in a small two bedroom condo so I didn't want to get two of everything and have no room for it all.
