@kiwi2628 Thank you! I appreciate you sharing and I agree with @hannat8516 - it helps me get realistic ideas and I feel like there's always something on someone else's registry that's totally necessary but slipped right by me and I forgot to include.

@SweetSweetTooth, what they all said. It's a bib. From my understanding, they're supposed to be really useful for when baby is teething and drooling a lot.
I got the free bottle from Motherhood and my Amazon and Noobie boxes came. Didn't love the newbie box and it reminded me that if any of you get samples and free products that you won't use, look for a woman's shelter to donate them to. We have one locally for young moms and babies and those products go a long way!
@chopchop25 I put 0-3 and 3-6. I figure he will either start out as a 0-3 month right away, or if he doesn't, I will have clothes he can grow into. I want to minimize people buying me NB onesies in case he is a bigger baby- I dont want 20 outfits all NB size only for him to grow out of them after 5 days. I have amazon prime, so I plan on having like 3 NB onesies and if he is on the small size I will prime some NB onesies and they will be at my house the day I leave the hospital.
I tried for the Walmart box earlier but I haven't gotten anything yet. Anyone know how long that one takes? I tried again today and it said I already registered for one so I know I did it and didn't stop part way!
I ordered mine yesterday and it mentioned to "please give 5-8 weeks for shipping."

I made my registry on Amazon and made my $10 purchase but how do I mark the categories as complete or not needed so I can get my welcome box? it shows at 27% complete but I don't know how to finish it.
Edited to add - @chopchop25 helped me out and I completed it. Bring on the welcome box!

@sarahzett at the top of the registry checklist there are different tabs. In each tab, just check the boxes that aren't filled in yet. Or, add something from each of the boxes (you could always delete later)
@sammierose464 I mean it didnt take much effort to get one, but inside is a small pampers bag that has one single diaper in it and a tiny pack of wipes, there is a travel size cetaphil tube and one other cetaphil thing and a bottle. Whoop-dee-do
My free teether from Amazon came today, I had to order $10 off my registry to get it. The box should be here Monday. I think I may have gotten the free gift since I did it before I was a Prime member. They have a free kindle book for prime members too, but of course the one i want is unavailable...
At Target do I just go to customer service and tell them I have a registry?
Guys, does it make me a terrible person if I put something on my Amazon registry that I was going to buy myself anyway?? To be fair...I feel like comfy cotton undies are essential pregnancy items, *TMI* 'cause ain't nobody want a yeast infection, amirite?
I’d say neither noobie nor baby list are worth it (though my baby list also came with the bottle) but the target and amazon definitely are worth doing the registry. I only put one thing on my target registry and they gave me the bag without a word.
eta: I don’t think it’s unethical to sign up just for the free stuff. That’s why they do it! Their hope is it will cause us to actually use them for the registry. I’m certainly more likely to use target or amazon over babylist at this point.
Got my 'bag' from Target for setting up a registry! Got a Dr. Browns bottle that was talked about on some post mentioning bottles! So excited as I already have 3 avent bottles. edit for spelling

I did the same thing. Added shampoo for my kids since they were out
Not baby stuff... but I have heard these are easier to use after birth (at home when the hospital gigantic pads run out) and you can get two free sent to you! https://www.depend.com/en-us/samples Also check out https://try.hexanow.com/ you can get 10 for just like $3 shipping.

I don't know why I didn't think about all of the bleeding post partum before I got pregnant. I think I'm more worried about recovery...
@sammierose464 Postpartum bleeding varies so much person to person. I was prepared to feel like I was bleeding out from other people’s comments. It really wasn’t that bad. I actually had to go buy smaller pads because the big giant ones I got were seriously overkill after I used up my hospital supply.
Re: Free baby stuff
Yes, there are bandana style bibs. They are ment to catch drool. Some come with a rubber/silicone corner for chewing.

Edit it's the same as what @Laumb11 showed in her pic.
edit: Also, call your store before you go to pick it up. One of ours was out of them.

@sammierose464 - I'll probably just skip that one. Thanks for the heads up!

@kiwi2628
Your Baby list box sound like mine. Was is a silicone boon bottle?
