19
items Hi there future mama or new mama! This list is for you; I am a mom of one adorable boy who as I write this list is already 5! As I prepare my bestie who is going through motherhood for the first time, and as I have prepared a lot of my family and friends that have started to have babies- this is what I recommend to them when they ask- well what should I put on my registry?

Because mama- you are the reason for the season and you deserve to feel comfortable in this new era. You also deserve to have the essentials so that you are prepared for anything you need!
a nice easy diaper bag is perfect for travel and easy to put all the goodies you need to bring out; from essentials to your wallet I loved the skip hop forma bag

I really enjoyed the easy nursing dresses from amazon as I did breast feed and it made my life so much easier!
Dresses - Nursing: Clothing, Shoes & Accessories
I suggest this kit or making your own with amazon or walmart as it is a little expensive. This saved me a lot of hassle at the beginning of postpartum

Mama if you do not get this at the hospital this will help your area heal and is ESSENTIAL
Peri Wash Bottle
we do not judge especially with postpartum- im not joking when I say i did wear postpartum briefs and that they were the best because it just kept all the loose skin and parts in versus using a pad and leakage
Diaper Postpartum
even if you are not breastfeeding- the soothing cream on your nipples will help a lot!

I loved my wipe warmer as this would keep my son relaxed especially in those middle of the night feeds and changes! If you can, I suggest this!

even if you get a used cheaper bottle warmer this helped me so much as I was in the middle of cleaning up messes, cooing and soothing my son

you can never go wrong with too many washcloths as newborns are messy! I say if you can get a good pack of 12 that will do but I wouldnt complain if theres more
Washcloths & Wash Gloves - Bathing: Baby
you may hear that these arent worth it but I will be honest, I LOVED my diaper genie and I feel that everyone should invest in one with the little pads to calm the smell down; this was nice, enjoyable and easy to refill and needed when you are in a r...
Diaper Genie – diapergenie
You probably will get gifted many swaddles but I do love a burrito baby
Swaddling Blankets - Bedding: Baby
This is so great for baby I find after 3 months and is great to have for sleep! It is nice as an extra layer comfort at night in the winter or just an easy swaddling blanket with a zipper (because we are a hard no button house). I recommend trying it...
SleepSack® Wearable Blankets - HALO
this is one sort of sound machine but I had a cheap one from amazon that helped settle my son into sleep at night! Highly recommend

Easy essentials
These are the essentials I recommend every new mom to have as they are going to run through these items FAST
diapers are so important and getting a variety of diapers is great to see what works for you and your new baby. I personally found at the end of the first year we were mostly attached to rascals!
Premium Diapers
These are the most affordable diapers and baby wipes that I recommend as a baby goes through a LOT of diapers
Baby Diapers & Wipes
I can tell you after we went through our baby registry diapers I did invest in Hello Bello as at the time this was the easiest with covid (I did have a COVID baby!). I loved the design and feel of these and my son never had rashes with these
Hello Bello
To save the late night run for diaper genie bag refills- just add it to the list of wishes! saves you time and money

ask for all the baby wipes- i know we went through so many when our son was a newborn and that first couple of years- these are the saviour
