Registry Questions

I registered for a travel system.  Should I also register for a convertible seat for when LO is too big for the travel system?

Also, what types of feeding supplies did you register for?

I'm trying to get my registry in order because my shower invites should be going out at the end of next week.  Eep!  I can't believe it's already time for me to really start preparing for this little boy.  It's scary, but exciting all at the same time!

    I did not register for a car seat for when LO is bigger. Just the infant seat. I suppose you could register for both, but I think showers are typically for things LO will need now, not a year from now.

    I registered for some bottles and a boppy in terms of feeding supplies.

    If there is a big boy seat that you like put it on the registry. I wished with DS i had registered for some older things like feeding supplies, older toys, bigger socks and onsies. Just don't go crazy on the older stuff just put a couple of items on there.

    I recently purchased some things off of someone else's registery and they had things like 9-12 month onesies (which I got because almost everything else was purchased already). Also, do you get a completer discount? If so, you could use that for those things if people don't buy them for you. Plus just because you register for it doesn't mean someone has to buy it for you if they aren't comforable with it.

    You could register for both, there's nothing wrong with that. DH and I decided not to because we will need 2 and should be able to buy them for ourselves when we need them. A lot of my family doesn't have money so we just registered for mostly small stuff.

    As far as feeding supplies goes, it depends on what you plan to do (BF vs FF). We registered for the pump (only expensive thing on the registry) and a gift set that comes with bags and bottles. We also registered for some FF supplies just in case we have any problems with BFing. We registered for 2 different types of bottles just because we don't know what she'll like. One of the customers while we were there said that whatever they have first is what they'll want forever, but I didn't believe her. We also registered for a formula dispenser, burp clothes, etc.

    We probably registered for to many things but we like to be prepared for all possibilities I guess...

    We didn't register for the convertable carseat for DD just the travel system, I wish we had put at least one on the registry b/c they can get pricey. I figure if someone doesn't want to buy it they dont have too but the option is there plus you can use your completer coupon for it. We got a boppy, some bottles and a bottle warmer(we ended up FF).

    This was one of the most confusing things to me! We decided to go with a great stroller + a convertible car seat and skip the travel system altogether. We got a little extra infant cushiony insert thing to fit into the stroller and the convertible car seat has an infant cushion to help when he's little. Decided against the infant seat/travel system b/c a) we live in a city and I didn't love the wheels on the travel system strollers- don't think they will handle the urban sidewalks!; b) LO will not be in the car a ton for the first months of his life - not really at all for the first 3- and the frontrunning daycare is a 3 block walk away from our home so we'd likely carry him in his Bjorn.

    Feeding supplies- I didn't put anything down yet on registry b/c I find it totally confusing. Breast pump (may rent one from hospital to start and make sure that we are going to be BF long term- I've got two friends for whom it did not work out for medical/health reasons); then you need milk storage stuff, right? Then bottles/nips - and sterilizer if you're into that... The sterilizer that we are being loaned is Avent- and you're supposed to use the same brand of bottles, I think, but SIL told me that it's a known fact at her daycare that Avent BPA free bottles leak! So what's a girl to do??

    I figure I can figure out the feeding stuff later and add then. For now, I sent my registry to my shower-planning-friend and told her it was done enough! GL!!

    I didnt' register for a convertible, but I think you could. Why not?  ONe less expense in the future if you have a place to store it.

    I BF and did not introduce DS to the bottle till 1 month.  I had registered for a bottle gift set plus someone gave me another gift set of a different brand.  DS did not take either bottle!  So, we had to go purchase a different brand - the NUK one.  Anyway, I recommend registering for a few single bottles and not the gift set.    Good luck!

    We added ours to our registry so we could buy it with the completion discount, ended up getting 30% off the Britax Marathon so it was worth it.

    This is for all the caterpillars that never became butterflies. And for all the butterflies that never felt the wind in their wings. And for all the hearts that had hopes and dreams of a wondrous flight together.
