We don't have a nursery and had to make use of all of the space we have so these are great for storing extra baby clothes or items we recieved early on and didnt need for a few months. Total game changer!

This isn't a "Must have" but it made gathering important documents at the hospital much easier. We now use it to keep all of our child's important papers at home

As a Exclusively breastfeeding mom of 6 months, I have used these every single day, day and night. They are easy to hook and unhook single handed, are durable and comfortable!

We love these both from a parent perspective and firefighter family perspective. Easy to apply and gives us a good sense of security if we were to be in an accident

Weather you collect colostrum or not, I highly recommend having these on hand. They are individually wrapped food grade syringes and we have used them for EVERYTHING. Colostrum, feeding baby in the first days to make sure they were getting enough, ga...

Just get them. Forget the mesh underwear and pad that the hospital provides. These honestly made THE biggest difference in my postpartum recovery. You just delivered a whole human. Comfort matters

I got this cheaper sound machine to see if we would need one before committing to a more expensive one. We use this ALL the time and I absolutely prefer it over the more expensive ones that we purchased later on. Keeps a great charge and goes with us...

I was gifted a few of these and ended up using them around days 3-5 after delivering. Literally heaven sent and I have given them to every postpartum mom I encounter.

These are great quality and I absolutely give them all the credit for being able to have a mostly painless breastfeeding journey. These are cheaper than the brand name silverettes but work just as well in my opinion. A must have for me!

I just wanted to add this so I could say - different kinds of pumps work in different ways for everyone. I do love this one and it worked well for me but see what works best for you!

This was inexpensive and I wasn't sure how it would hold up. 6 months later we have it loaded down with bows and we are so glad they all have a designated place!

I was 50/50 on getting the Owlet but I am SO glad we did! It gives me peace of mind and helped me know she was okay in the early days

I didn't put this on the registry and should have. This is still one of my baby's faves! It is black and white for the newborn stage and colored on the other side. It crinkles and my baby LOVESSSS looking at it

This is a must have for me. I actually had 2 other carriers but none of them were small enough for my newborn. This one is a great mix of structured and wrap style. I will be so sad when it is outgrown but 6 months in and it is still used daily

A ***MUST*** HAVE!!! Seriously, put this on the registry and if you don't get it, buy one yourself! This is the best thing. Our baby couldnt latch properly because of nasal congestion and we used this before feedings. It has lights for baby to watch ...
