Things To Add To Your Baby Registry

Consider this the ultimate list of baby registry must haves. After doing tons and tons of research for my own baby registry, here is the checklist of items you’ve been looking for!

Starting on your baby registry is very overwhelming. If you’ve feeling stumped on where to begin or what to add, here are things to consider including on your own baby registry.

Where To Register

Babylist.com is the most convenient place to register because you can add things from Amazon, Target, Walmart, and pretty much ANYWHERE.

I’ve added certain items from very small online shops and specific retailers that you might not otherwise be able to register at. Of course, I also included mostly Amazon items for easy shopping.

Looking for Maternity Clothes? I shared all of my favorite buys from Amazon and beyond including the comfiest yoga pants, dresses, and more for dressing the bump in THIS blog post.

Baby Registry Checklist For New Moms

Let’s break it down into the categories that Babylist groups gifts. This includes feeding, sleeping, diapering, baby gear, health & safety, bathing, nursery & decor, clothing, and playing.

Feeding

First up is feeding must haves! The four things to consider here are a good high chair, bottles, burp cloths, and bibs. If you are breastfeeding, nipple butter and a nursing cover may also be helpful to add on.

Here are the ones I selected for my own register.

Sleeping

Next category up is sleeping. Don’t forget to register for a crib (we already had one so didn’t need to register for one), crib mattress pad, and crib sheets. You’ll also probably want a bassinet for those first few months.

Here are some other items to add to your registry!

Here is what the Baby Delight looks like once assembled! We also registered for/received the matching Baby Delight waterproof bassinet mattress pad and these Baby Delight bassinet sheets.

If you are registering for the Baby Delight bassinet, I highly suggest also registered for those items as well.

Diapering

Let me tell you about my diaper set-up and I’ll link everything you see in this image below that I registered for. If you want to recreate this changing table, register for all four of the items listed below.

• Changing Table
• 4-Pack of Baskets
• Waterproof Changing Table Pad
• Changing Table Pad Sheets

I really liked how simple and basic this changing table was. It was a breeze to put together! I measured for size. before registering for these baskets to make sure they would fit this table. I think they fit in there quite nicely.

The changing table itself comes with a very thin mattress pad and all of the reviews said to go ahead and purchase a fuller changing table pad. I’m very glad that I did! I added the pink Burt’s Bee’s sheets on top of it.

Featured below is the size medium. I opted for the camel color for numerous reasons. One, it will work for future kids as well no matter the gender. Two, my husband can carry this around and not feel awkward carrying around a bright pink bag.

This is the diaper bag that everyone talks about. It is ALL over social media and Youtube. The material does feel very lux and includes a mini changing mat and some extra pouches. I really think this bag will last me years and years to come.

Of course, don’t forget to register for some diapers, too.

Baby Gear

Next up is baby gear! I looked at tonsss and tons of strollers and car seats. Some can get *very* pricey. I watched youtube videos, Amazon review videos, and read a few facebook/Reddit threads of moms talking about their favorite strollers and car seats.

I ultimately decided on the Chicco Bravo 3-in-1 Trio Travel System. You can attach the car seat to the stroller when baby is very young which is nice. It also just had so many stellar reviews and the price was right in the medium of what I found. It’s not the cheapest one out there, but it’s not going to set you back a thousand bucks either.

Health & Safety

Now on to health and safety products! First up is the LifeVac Home Kit.

Below is what the LifeVac looks like when you receive it. It comes all packaged up easy to store.

Bathing

Time to get ready for bath time! In the bathing category, things to consider registering for include a bath tub, wash cloths, and baby shampoo or soap. And don’t forget, adorable little towels for baby.

A spout guard may also be smart as they get into the toddler years. Go ahead and throw one on your registry!

I highly recommend these wash cloths! Comes in a 10 pack, certified organic, and great reviews.

Nursery & Decor

I tried not to put a lot of nursery and decor items on my registry because we already had the crib, bought the glider chair off a friend, and other than the changing table that is really all we had room for in our tiny nursery.

We did grab this gold lamp though for beside the glider and I think the bamboo shape makes it fun for a nursery. You could certainly add it to the registry!

Clothing

Clothing isn’t something I would put too much energy into adding to your registry. You will probably get lots of cute things at showers!

The one item I did really want was this PJ duo. They are just so cute and comfy looking! Plus these have the built in fold-over cuffs.

Playing

Toys were another thing I did not really want to add too much of on the registry. You’ll get some anyways at showers and might find people with hand me downs. An activity gym though is one thing to add!

I looked at some that were $100+ (yikes!) and eventually landed on this one. I didn’t want something flashy or cheap looking, and this one seemed like good quality for what it will be used for and the price.

Conclusion

And there you have it! This post has almost everything that I added to my own baby registry. From bath time to strollers and car seats, hopefully this list gave you some ideas of things to add to your own baby registry.

So go ahead, register for a Babylist profile, and start having fun adding baby things to the registry.
