items Items we got from our registry or purchased to prepare for our baby!
Expensive? yes. But this is the CADILLAC of strollers. Anyone who pushes it is impressed. It's smooth, folds up easily, and comes with the bassinet and rumble seat. Plus, rain shield, carrying case and more. I have used this nearly every day since Ja...
Strollers
This was, indeed, another baby item splurge. I did not add this to my registry because I thought it was unnecessary and we could just wash bottles by hand. LOL that got old so fast when you're going through 8-12 bottles or more a day. Washes, sterili...
Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer Sterilizer
Originally had the Owlet but ended up buying this a few weeks postpartum. Why? Our wifi is so inconsistent where we live (rural, acreage) and I could NOT connect to my Owlet app! Had to go into my daughter's room to see her which defeats the purpose ...
HelloBaby No WiFi Baby Monitor 5" Screen 30H Battery
My daughter has used this every single day since she was 3-4 weeks old. She LOVES it. She kicks and bounces herself, keeping herself entertained while I tend to the house when needed. Highly recommend!
Baby Bouncers that gently rock your child | BabyBjörn
Get a couple packs of these! One of our most used item from registry. Babies do, indeed, spit up a lot and these are really absorbent compared to some other cloths we got.
Yoofoss Muslin Burp Cloths 10 Pack Organic
Very absorbent for bath time; love these.
100% Muslin Cotton Baby Bath Towel with Hood
Ok I love this bag because it's very spacious. BUT it does get dirty easily (I live in the country, on a gravel road and if it brushes against my car you can do the math) So if you if you're worried about that, it does clean up easily. I got mine on ...
Indi neoprene Diaper Backpack
Love this highchair because of the versatility. It cleans up easily and the tray is easy to remove.
Milestone 6-in-1 High Chair
Love these bottles but yes, since they're glass, the bigger ones feel heavy. We only have 1 child so nothing else to compare to when it comes to the weight of the bottle vs other brands. We used a slow speed nipple in beginning to pace feed Emmy and ...
Philips Avent Natural Glass Baby Bottles Slow
ESSENTIAL in the newborn phase! This was so handy for middle of the night changes and feeds to keep lights low. The battery lasts an eternity, too.
Anico EASZZZ Baby Night Light, Soft BPA-Free
Hate it or love it but our daughter liked it. She took supervised naps in it and would lay in it (awake) when I needed to get things done in the house.
Infant Loungers
Controversial item but my daughter slept really well in this month 1-2. We used the swaddle feature until she started showing signs of rolling. Then transitioned to arms out.
Dream Weighted Sleep Sack Bundle
This helps so much with regularity, gas, and excess burping/spit up!! I notice a big difference in my daughter when I forget to give it to her.
Organic Infant Liquid Probiotic
Our baby was 7lbs 7oz at birth and has done great in this. No issues with chin to chest when properly installed. Love the click in base, very easy to set baby in the base and go. Easy to clean up and love that it has the sunshield.
Mesa V2 - Jake - Charcoal
A daily essential still at almost 8 months! We use this daily. Some people will tell you “just give the baby cold milk” but ours does not like cold milk and will refuse the bottle. It does not take long, especially if you use the glass bottles. Worth...
Philips Avent Premium Fast Bottle Warmer
Our daughter took these binkies easily in the hospital and up until 4-5 months postpartum (she stopped taking a binkie at that time) and there was no n!pple confusion for us.
Shop Philips Avent Pacifiers & Soothie Snuggles
Bamboo has been a budget friendly option because of the stretch factor. My daughter has been able to wear these a little longer than the traditional cotton onesies because they have so much stretch! They are breathable and lightweight.
3-6 Month Bamboo Pajamas
These are really handy when your little one starts teething. Emmy started showing signs around 3 months old!
Baby Rattles & Teethers
My daughter LOVES these! They're perfect size for their little fist to grip. She has been teething since 3 months, with the first 2 popping in around 5 months and these are awesome. We wash them in the bottle washer.
Teething Sticks
Love the muslin crib sheets. They get softer with more freqeunt washing so I recommend washing a few times before putting on the crib mattress.
