The best baby items I received from my registry as a first time mom
23
items My baby ended up coming a day before her baby shower. It ended up being very difficult in the beginning not having much to work with. I ended up having my shower once she was 4 months old. Some things I received prior to the shower, and some things I...

Feedings/Bottles
While I tried pumping, my supply didn't last long. My insurance didn't cover a pump until I reached a certain amount of weeks that I never go to reach. I had to wait for my pump to come in, only for them to have send the wrong one (portable mini). Si...
I have tried almost every glass bottle on the market. I ended up with a huge collection trying to find the right bottles. Not only is the price so much better then the others, but they have overall been the better option for our feedings. I overlooke...
Philips Avent Glass Natural Response Baby Bottle
I got to use a regular warmer in the beginning for breast milk, and also heating up her formula. I could never get a consistent temperature. Often milk was squirting from the nipples from being too hot. I also got tired of mixing it per bottle, and t...
Formula Pro Advanced WiFi Baby Formula Dispenser - Baby Brezza
I'm always looking for a way to save space since there isn't much of it in our house. This drying rack is amazing. It holds so much, while still saving space on your counters.
Space Saving Drying Rack - OXO
The dryer is so great on this sterilizer! It makes the bottles feel that much cleaner. They can get really hot, so be careful when first done. I personally enjoy them being really hot, it makes me feel like it really got the job done.
Baby Bottle Sterilizer & Dryer Premium SCF293/00 | Avent
This is another item I wish I would have gotten sooner. Its so easy to put her next to me propped up, and feed her with one hand. I'm actually doing so as I type this. It matches so nice with the cover for her swing, which will be on this list.
Ultra-Luxe Infant Feeding Pillow™ | Munchkin
While I'm new to this side of feeding. This is is a product I get excited to use. I wasn't comfortable with the idea of steaming foods in plastic. This processor is glass, and stainless steel. It steams, and purees all in one. It's been very easy to use, and clean. Nothing makes me happier then knowing what is actually in my baby's food. No extra ingredients, or preservatives is a huge win for both of us!
Babycook Neo - Baby Food Processor BEABA
This set included everything for that big step to eating, and everything leading up to it! I love how cute this bundle is.
Ultimate Baby Shower Bundle by ezpz | Best Baby Shower Gift Set
This has got to be the most beautiful high chair ever! I mean, look at the gold! I had a Peg Perego when I was a baby. I use to fall asleep in mine, like my baby does with hers. She's very comfortable in her chair, whether she's lounging around or ea...
Prima Pappa Zero 3 - Peg Perego
Sleeping
Sleeping was my daughter's biggest problem once coming home from the NICU. She wasn't sleeping, and neither were we. The hospital had gotten her used to sleeping with bumpers around her, and being on an incline. This section are items that made it ea...
These are now FDA approved. We didn't have this when she first came home from the hospital. The nights we didn't have this were filled with constant worry. Now that we have it, I can't imagine a night without. This is another product I rave about! Th... It doesn't take long for the alarm to go off if either goes undetected. This is also what monitors her sleep state, and movements. Incase you decide to not get the camera, the app will let you know if your baby is wiggling around. It will also alert ...
FDA-cleared Dream Sock - Owlet Baby Monitor
We adore this bed side sleeper. It straps to the bed to make sure it stays put. Nothing compared to being so close to my baby every night. From coming home at 4lbs, this was the best solution to be as close as possible throughout the nights.
Beside Me™ Dreamer Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper - Charcoal Tweed
My baby is the most comfiest in her SnuggleMe. The NICU had gotten her very use to being surrounded by a bumper keeping her nice and snug. This lounger provides that for her. If we're going to a relatives house for a party we bring this along with he...
Infant Loungers - Snuggle Me Organic
Every baby should have one of these. This mattress gives me a little more peace of mind when it comes to sleeping in her crib. Plus it's super easy to clean.
Safe & Breathable Crib Mattress - Newton Baby
Diapering
These are considered my must haves when it comes diapers, and butts.
This is another game changer for me. I have this on her changing table. It provides the perfect amount of light at night. I'm able to finish the job effectively without fully waking her up from a bright light. The sensor makes it so convenient especi...
Touch Free Wipe Warmer and Nightlight - Munchkin
Another Munchkin product we love. Their snap and toss bags makes cleaning less painful. It keeps everything sealed regardless of being closed or not. It seals even more when closing the lid to make sure no foul scents are escaping. Lets not forget th...
UV Sterilizing Diaper Pail | Baby Diapering & Nursery Essentials
As a mama with nails this is a must have!!
Bumco Baby Bum Brush + Mini Diaper Spatula
Best changing table to save some space. Unfortunately we have LOTS of stuff with not lots of room. Lol. I'm able to use the shelves for storage on the bottom. Of course diaper needs on top. I use the big bin in the middle for her laundry. The drawer ...
Corner Changing Table For Baby
General
I'm not too sure what these items would fall under, but I am sure glad to have them!
Everything about this swing is perfect. You can connect your phone to play music. It has a remote control which is great for slowing it down once baby falls asleep. I didn't put it together, but I could have! It was only 2 pieces. I already enjoyed t...
Infant Swing | Smart Bluetooth® Enabled - Munchkin
Not only does this make the Munchkin swing that much cuter, but it makes me look forward to the winter months ahead. This cover is ridiculously soft. My daughter has been passing right out with this added cover. I wish they had these for adults.
Swing Premium Seat Cover | Baby Swing - Munchkin
The blue bulb is absolutely despised, I was uncertain when getting this item. I thought if she flips with the bulb, she's guaranteed to flip out with the noise of this. I was completely wrong. In all reality the suction is great enough to get everyth...
Dr. Noze Best NozeBot Electric Nasal Aspirator
I still am paranoid when it comes to germs, and my baby. I would like to think I would be a little more lenient if she wasn't a preemie. Probably not. This portable sterilizer has been our best friend when going out, along with saline solution wipes.
59S Mini Portable UV-C Sterilizer
As a mama with nails, this is another must. They make the car seats so incredibly hard to open, this tool makes it a whole lot easier.
Original Car Seat Key Chain Buckle Release Tool
This has been super easy for us to take on the go. Very easy to assemble, and we love the look of it.
Maxi-Cosi Swift Play Yard | Bloomingdale's
We're from Jersey so during the summer months we like to go to the beach a lot. This gave our little one the comfort of tagging along to the beach with us.
