It can be super overwhelming when you start adding items to your baby shower registry list – there are SO many products, brands, and gear out there! And they make you feel like you need to get EVERY LITTLE THING. But take it from me – LESS IS BEST. I say this for 2 reasons: number one, your baby's development can be impaired by having too many “container” devices (like swings, seats, jumpers, etc.) by blocking their natural movement; number two, having too many things can be overwhelming! I suggest that you start with LESS and ask for gift cards on your registry – that way, once baby has actually arrived and you feel like you truly need something else, you can buy it then!

If you are in the same stage of life that I am in with 2 toddlers, the amount of toys you accumulate on birthdays and holidays can be very overwhelming! In my house, we have started to be more selective about what toys we have for a toddlers – often the criteria is: 1) they have to have more than 1 purpose (can be used in many ways to encourage creativity); 2) they have to promote development of a motor skill or cognitive/problem solving skill; 3) they have to be FUN so that my kids will actually play with them!
