Mid Priced Baby Items

Happily Overwhelmed · August 2011

My registry is looking a bit....weak.

It mainly consists of the little essential baby products (burp clothes, receiving blankets, sheets, changing pad cover, utensils, etc). There are two larger items (pack n play and high chair) but nothing really inbetween in price.

I'm looking for some reccommended $30-$60 range items. So many items in this price range I'm not sure are worth the money or are just "trendy" baby products.

A bouncy seat would be in that price range and would be a good gift.

ellewoodsSC · August 2011

Here are some ideas in that price range but most of them are not "essentials":

Breastfeeding pillow and covers

Activity mat/play gym

Aden & Anais swaddle blankets

Mobile

Nursery lamp

Night light or those musical/lights white noise bears, turtles, sleep sheep, etc.

Frame stroller for car seat

Diaper pail

Mid-range diaper bag

Humidifier

Bath gift sets

I also wanted to mention Moby wrap or some sort of inexpensive wrap/sling style carrier

ColoradoAlly · August 2011

One of my necessities is at the low end of this range - a white noise machine. I think they vary in pricing though.

Here are things we didn;t put on our list that we had to go out and buy or items that we just love:

jemper

shades for car windows

different bottles to find "the right one" and nipple sizes

wipe warmer (it gets cold here and when LO was little she would scream at the cold wipes)

halo snuza (thats a higher price range)

formula container for travel (unless you are BFing)

lots of diapers, wipes and diaper pail bags (we registered for them but you always need them)

miracle blanket

swing- we recommend snugabunny!

activity mat- we recommend Lamaze space symphony mat

homedics sound spa

angel care moniter

bath products

I don't have one but a Moby wrap is good to have for a newborn.

Rock n' play

We didn't bother registering for clothes. People like to pick stuff out on their own.

HTH!

A few from our list:

Humidifier

Good first aid kit/thermometer

Diaper bag

Breathable bumper

Baby wrap/carrier

Bottle starter set

Bundleme

Off the top of my head:

- rock n play

- floor mat/gym

- boppy

- humidifier

I like that youre thinking about this - I went to get something from my friends registry just last week, and it was the most boring registry ive ever seen - at least half of it was diapers. I realize that she needs these, but I want to get something more interesting. I ended up getting her a Mommy Hook and a Sophie. I then went to Walmart and got myself the same Mommy hook without the name on it for a quarter of the price....

eawilson · August 2011

You've already gotten a lot of great ideas, but I'll add my favorites:

- Boppy Pillow (I used this for nursing, tummy time, and for sleeping on the floor next to the crib)

- Temporal (forehead) Thermometer (I love this thing)

- Bouncy Seat

- Bumbo

- Sound Machine

- Crib Mobile

- Activity Center/ Play Mat

- Aden & Anais Blankets (these can replace any flannel receiving blankets)

- Baby grooming set (brush, comb, clippers, bulb syringe, etc.)

- Exersaucer/ Jumperoo (your baby will grow up some day and you will want this)

Good luck and have fun with your registry and planning for baby!

I liked the Brest Friend better than the Boppy in the early days. Boppys are also easier to find second-hand.

The boppy is useful for more than feeding (breast or bottle)- DD uses hers for tummy time, naps, etc.

I also have brest friend pillow and while I love it- I only use it for feeding.

You can register for things like baby gates, potty seat, booster (feeding) seat, or a bumbo even though you won't use them right away.

I use my Aden and Anais blankets daily. I have about 10-12 other blankets that people gave me and have only used a couple of them when it was colder. My A&As have also doubled as nursing covers.

PPs pretty much already said it all- a play gym, bouncer, white noise/ sound machine (or the womb bear/ sleep sheep), or diaper pail are all things people like to buy. Just don't register for things you don't really want or plan to use just to have options for your family/ friends.
