Strollers and Car Seats
Strollers and car seats are going to vary based off of personal wants and needs, but I highly recommend putting them all on your registry! It saves your family money! Here is what I've used and use. I'm also going to add what I would use based off of...
The Doona! It is a must-have for me. So easy to transport baby with wheels attached to the car seat! You just pull it out of the car, put down the wheels and go. If you travel a lot, it is perfect for a plane! Some things to consider: It is not an all terrain stroller, it is best for sidewalks and paved surfaces. Some moms have stated it is heavy, I don't personally find this to be true. It does not have storage on it for bags or cups.
Doona Car Seat & Stroller Collections
I had this system with my first. I didn't like the infant seat, I had a hard time with the straps. However, I did love that the seat came out and you could put it on the stroller and go. It was a nice system and had storage for bags and cups. I do re...
Travel System Strollers
The stroller and seat combo would be perfect for twins! The double stroller by itself is perfect for multiple kids. It is easy to manage and folds down to put in the car.
Double Jogging Strollers

Breast's, Bottles, and feeding!
Here's my recommendations for breastfeeding, bottle feeding, solids and the toddler years. I definitely recommend adding items you will need later to your registry!
My two oldest took a bottle while I was at work and these are the only bottles we used. We had two that we used for both kids! These worked well for us. They were predominantly breast fed at the boob, but still latched good on these.
Comotomo
My oldest is the only one of my kids that got formula, but we used the organic kendamil. He liked it and I felt okay letting him have it.
Kendamil
My husband is the one that gave bottles, but he really likes using the bottle warmer. Especially for cold or frozen breast milk!

I know there's some controversy around the haaka, but it really helped me when I was getting started nursing. It suctions to the breast and collects the milk. It is considered a pump, so use at your own discretion.
Haakaa Generation 2 Silicone Breast Pump with Suction Base 5 oz 1pk
A hand pump was a life saver for me! When I didn't want to hook up a machine at work this is what I used. The hospital should give you one, but it's always nice to have a couple if you're using them often.
Best Manual Breast Pumps
Insurance usually gives you a breast pump for free! It's the only mechanical one I used. It worked fine for me. They only give basic ones usually though. So if you know you might want a hands off pump, I would add it to your registry!
Breast Pumps Through Insurance
I love my silicone bottle brush! They clean easy and last so long, like years long. I have had mine for about 5 years now.

I've found burp cloths are used depending on baby and the type of feeding, but always good to have on hand! Bibs of course are clothes savers!!

These type of bibs are so beneficial if you're babe is dressed up and you want them to stay clean!

If I could go back, this is the high chair I'm choosing. It looks so easy to clean and that is my main concern. It's also a highly recommeded chair!
