Baby Registry Must-Haves

Filed In: Baby, MOTHERHOOD

We’re officially in the home stretch! Less than 2 weeks away from my due date and we are so excited to meet our baby girl. Today I’m sharing my baby registry to help all you moms-to-be because who knew such a tiny human would require so much STUFF!? We learned this pretty quickly once we started putting together our baby registry. As first time parents, the entire registry process can be overwhelming and confusing. James and I did a TON of research – talked to friends, read reviews, referenced blogs, etc – before even getting started.

Baby Registry Must Haves

MY BABY REGISTRY MUST-HAVES

After doing a TON of research and reading countless reviews online, these are the items that we decided to add to our registry. I’d love to hear if you’ve tried any of these items or have additional recommendations. Please leave them in the comments below!

TRANSPORTATION & GEAR

Almost everyone I asked about strollers recommended the UPPAbaby Vista. I’ve been told it’s super functional and has great storage space underneath.

We decided to register for an extra UPPAbaby Infant Car Seat Base for my husbands car. When we travel somewhere as a family he typically drives so this way we both can transfer the car seat easily between both cars.
This insulated stroller organizer is perfect for holding your essentials like phone, keys and other small items. It also has cupholders perfect for coffee cups and water bottles.
We registered for a few baby carriers. This mini carrier will be used from the time the baby is a newborn up to 25lbs. It looked like the comfiest one I could find and keeps the baby super close to your chest.
Another recommendation from friends, this travel table chair comes in handy when you need a high chair on the go. It simply clips to any table providing your baby with the perfect seat to enjoy their meal.
This bouncer was recommended more than any other. It has a simple ergonomic design and helps develop motor skills and balance with rocking motions. We heard babies love it! We went with the mesh option to keep baby cool this summer.
The UPPAbaby Infant Car Seat has great safety ratings works seamlessly with all other UPPAbaby products.
In keeping with the UPPAbaby family, we decided to register for this lightweight (less than 15 lbs) stroller for quick errands and to travel with. It has a compact fold up design that you can easily collapse and throw over your shoulder! I also like that you can purchase adapters to use with the Mesa carseat during the infant stage.
This multi-use cover is great for shielding and protecting your baby in their car seat. It can also be used as a shopping cart cover, high chair cover, nursing cover and infinity scarf.
When it comes to diaper bags I wanted something spacious and easy to carry. This duffle style bag has a lot of room inside for all the essentials and multiple carry options. It comes with two different length straps and additional straps to attache to your stroller. I also love that there is a wipes compartment on the side for easy access.
The Baby Bjorn Travel Crib seemed like the easiest collapsible crib to set up with one simple motion. It’s lightweight, ultra-portable, and features a crib, mattress and fitted sheet. I also love neutral color and slim design.
I’ve heard great things about this portable sounds machine! It mimics utero noises that engage the babies natural calming reflex. It can easily fit in your diaper bag or stroller to help soothe your baby on the go.

BATH TIME

3-piece hairbrush set that is designed to grow with your child. I love that they’re wood!
This looks like the most comfortable bather I could find for a newborn baby! I love that it floats on top of the water with soft machine washable cover. The flaps help keep baby warm. It also deflates for easy storage/travel.
A cute little rinser designed to keep water out of baby’s eyes and ears!
I registered for a few packs of these soft organic wash cloths for baby baths.
The 2nd tub we registered for is a 3 stage tub that accomodates the baby from newborn to infant to toddler.  It also has a color changing drain plug that ensures the water is always at the perfect temperature.
Perfect for the bath or the beach, these hooded towels wrap perfectly around your little one.
No baby’s bathroom is complete without a rubber ducky! This one is oversized.

HEALTH & SAFETY

I’ve heard amazing things about Frida Baby products and this basics kit includes 4 essentials: a silicone brush for sensitive skin, a nail clipper set, a gas/colic reliever, and nasal aspirator with refills.
If your poor baby gets sick this kit is full of tools to help them breath easier – includes nose wipes, chest balm and essential oils to provide baby immediate relief. A good thing to have on hand!
If your baby gets sick, this medicine dispenser allows you to provide medicine through a pacifier ensuring they get the accurate dose – genius! Dispenser also sends medicine to the side of the cheek, bypassing taste buds to prevent spit-ups.
This thermometer had the best reviews!

DIAPERING

A soft polyurethane pad for changing the baby that is water- and puncture-resistant. The surface easily wipes messes clean – no covers or machine washing necessary!
I’m taking a chance on these diapers – exclusively from Target. They’re conserved “luxury” diapers at an affordable price point. I can’t wait to try!
I plan on using these on the Keekaroo changer when the baby is a newborn until she get’s use it. I’ll also keep a couple in my diaper bag and will be using them to line my car seat. They have terry cloth on one side and waterproof lining on the other. Also machine washable!
A certified organic diaper balm! I love all Earth Mama products and this balm had great reviews. It uses herbs and shea butter and is completely free of petroleum, parabens or artificial fragrance. I plan on using all Earth Mama products for bathing the baby too!
All natural wipes free from chemicals and preservatives that won’t irritate baby’s bum! Made with over 99% water. Plant-based, paraben-free and hypoallergenic. I love how pure they are!

SLEEPING

Hands down, the best baby monitor out there! It has HD video/audio, plus motion detection, night vision, and zoom. The monitor hooks up to your phone for easy access. My favorite part is the baby’s sleep stats which you can view each morning AND a timelapse highlight reel so you can rewatch their entire night in seconds!
My niece was gifted this blanket as a newborn and 6 years laters it’s still her favorite! It’s faux fur with a satin border that babies love. I think it will be her favorite!
A sound machine that you can control from your smartphone! When your baby is an infant there’s a soft light for late night diaper changes. When they are a toddler, there’s a time to rise light that lets them know when to get out of bed in the morning!

 After much research on crib mattresses, this breathable mattress seemed to be the best! It’s a two-stage mattress that offers a firm side for baby and supple side for toddlers. What makes this mattress different from the rest is that it’s lightweight and easy to clean.
We will be using the SNOO bassinet so I figured it would be helpful to have some extra Happiest Baby swaddles to use when the baby is sleeping somewhere other than her bassinet. I love how these are designed to keep baby secure and cool. Hoping our baby girl likes them too!
I decided to give this swaddle a try too! It combines classic swaddling and a lateral belly wrap. I also love that it’s velcro, zipper and button FREE!

TOYS

This cute squeaky toy is also a teether for baby!
This little motorized toy cruises around the room to help keep your baby entertained and also encourages crawling!
This 3-stage activity center grows with your baby offering the options to sit, swivel, bounce and play.
This activity gym is perfect for infant playtime! I love the variety of toys and the mat looks so comfy and plush!
Lovevery is the best at curating a set of age appropriate toys in a kit sent every couple months. The quality of these toys is top notch. They focus on supporting the developmental experiences your child is going through at every stage.
SKIP HOP Activity Toy
A fun colorful toy to use on an activity center, stroller or car seat. I purchased a few different versions of these!
I’ve heard kids love this toy! It’s an interactive stuffed animal that sings and plays peek-a-boo! There are all different animals with fun interactions to choose from.
BABY EINSTEIN JUMPER
This jumper was a favorite in our house (after trying several) It has a bunch of fun, interactive toys for baby to play with while jumping. Great for keeping them entertained when you need to be hands-free.
