Registering for baby is so fun! Make sure you are putting things on your registry that you really want, don't worry about the price if it is high quality, it is better to ask for something a little pricier that is high quality rather then settling for something that may break or be a hazard to your precious baby. Your friends and family could always go in together on a more expensive gift.
Here are my favorite places to register for baby:
Online
1. Baby List
2. My Registry
3. Amazon.com
In Store (you can register online for in store items).
There are always those people who want to physically go buy a gift and don't like shopping online, I recommend registering for basic needs (non specialties such as diapers, wipes, bath tub, etc.) from these stores
1. Target
2. Pottery Barn Kids
3. Babies R Us
4. Land of the Nod
Please note anything with an * is extra.
Here is my list for registering for baby #1:
{Bath Essentials}
1. Infant Bath Tub - the Puj tub is amazing for 0-6 months, it folds in half and stores very easily, once baby can sit up a bath seat that can go in the tub is perfect.
2. Baby Bath Towels [2] Aden & Anais is a great brand, Pottery Barn Kids has adorable, quality bath towels as well. You can always use regular adult towels if you did not want to add baby towels to your registry.
3. Baby Shampoo {Burt's Bees Baby is my favorite brand}
4. Baby washcloths [3-4]
*5. Bath toys and holder [these can also be purchased later and does not have to be on your registry]
{Diapering Essentials}
1. Cloth or regular diapers, expect to be using at least 10 regular diapers a day, and more likely than not your baby will have grown out of the newborn size in a few weeks.
2. Wipes.
*3. Diaper caddy if you live in a two floor / larger home
4. Diaper rash cream [Burt's Bees Baby Multipurpose is my favorite]
5. Basic Changing pad
6. Changing pad cover [2-3]
*7. Disposable hospital pads [you could buy these on your own if you did not want to put on your registry. These saved us many washes, and outfit changes. With these pads you can scoop everything up and throw it away]
*8. Diaper Genie and Diaper Genie bags [Target carries the refills in the Target brand for a better price]
{Feeding Essentials}
1. Breast pump [Medela is by far my favorite]
*2. I did not put this on my registry, but wish I had; hands free breast pump bra / shirt
3. Bottles compatible with breast pump 6-10 varying sizes of 2.5-8 ounces, freezer storage milk bags, and on-the-go breast pump wipes
4. Burp Clothes 6-10
5. Boppy pillow and cover (Etsy has adorable unique covers)
6. Nipple shields [these things are life savors at the beginning stages of breastfeeding]

{Clothing essentials for 0-3M}
