Everything you need to get started on your parenthood journey! Picking baby gear is usually one of the most stressed (and most expensive) aspects of buying for baby or creating a registry- take the guesswork out and follow these picks for my most loved items! Tried and true, you canโt go wrong with these!
As someone who had zero idea what should be on a baby registry when she got pregnant, and who spent hours upon hours researching, comparing brands and prices, and editing her baby registries hundreds of timesโฆ Iโve compiled a list of all my favorites from items Iโve actually received/bought and believe are worth getting!
Side note: I registered at Target and Amazon and imported it all into Babylist. Thatโs what I sent to my loved ones/included on shower invitations. Babylist links to all external sites the product is available at. This allowed them to purchase from any of the sites and I could track it all in one central location. On this list, I am linking to whatever site has the best price available. But I had good experiences with all three sites and would recommend getting them from any of them. And registering at all three was worth it because they sent welcome boxes with tons of freebie samples after a certain amount was purchased from the registry- and this includes your own purchases off your registry! So I just made sure to meet that minimum to get the boxes.
Finally- all three websites send a 15% registry completion discount approx 2 months/8 weeks before your due date! Amazon allowed unlimited uses, up until 3 months after birth. Target was good for 2 uses. And you can still add items to the registry during this time and then purchase with the discount. All you have to do is make sure you are adding to your cart from the list. So keep the lists to come back to- you can continue to use the discounts to stock up on diapers!

When I have a class way ahead of the other classes or if they earn a reward day, these are some of the free choice activities that I break out! I normally will put out about half of them at a time and rotate things in and out so itโs not overwhelming and they donโt get bored.
We don't let our kid have lots of screen time but also, she's a very outdoors kid naturally and refuses to be inside if she can :) when we're inside, we try to put on things that we can possibly all engage in or where we are singing/learning songs together.

I have two kids and I have learned the hard way which day-out gear actually earns its space in the bag. This is what I pack for the zoo, the beach, soccer games, and long park afternoons. Every pick here solved a specific meltdown for me, and I put the honest caveats in the notes so you do not have to learn them the way I did.
