Things You ACTUALLY Need on a Baby Registry
15
items Baby registries are fun, but can also be overwhelming. You really don’t need much - and nobody wants a bunch of stuff that just takes up space and never gets used 🤪 but with two kids, these are the items that have held up over the last two years and...
We love being able to put our baby down for naps/bedtime and not have to worry about waking her up. Sound machines also help babies connect sleep cycles to take longer naps and get in that deep, restorative sleep. Better sleep = happier baby! 💤
Hatch Baby Sleep Machine - Putty
WATERPROOF SHEETS. I’ll just say that between accidents, sickness, and even just drool - these saved our crib mattress and a whole lot of frustration in the middle of the night. These are still going strong with our 2-year-old, we love this brand!
2-Pack Waterproof Baby Crib Sheets
This stroller is 10/10 - comfortable, space for bags underneath, easy to fold and open quickly, and super high quality! Bonus: TONS of cute additions to make it even more functional for your family (second seat, riding board, cup holder, snack tray…)
Mockingbird 3.0 Single-to-Double Stroller
Save yourself loads and loads of laundry and just get the wipeable changing pad! It’s so durable too - our second baby is currently using this!
Skip Hop Baby Wipeable Changing Pad
Favorite swaddle ever, especially as an OT!!! It allows for a mild startle reflex while still dampening it enough to let them get good sleep. It also supports healthy hip development and the best part - they still get the comfort of having their hand...
Love to Dream Swaddle Up
Self-explanatory. And most definitely something you ACTUALLY need! These are so incredibly soft and (common theme on this list), they are still going strong with our second baby!
Comfy Cubs Muslin Burp Cloths, 10-Pack
We are a Pampers family! But diapers are perhaps the most-used item in our house 🤪
Pampers Swaddlers
We keep wipes in the nursery, our room, the living room, the kitchen, the car, the diaper bag… quite literally everywhere we can!
Pampers Sensitive Baby Wipes
Cannot say enough about this brand and this play mat! Lovevery is SO intentional about development, the right about of stimulation, and play skills. We use this play mat all day long - and it’s cute enough to keep out in our living room and not feel ...
Lovevery The Play Gym
My favorite carrier! It’s easy to strap on by myself and SO comfy for me and baby!
Ergobaby Embrace Newborn Baby Carrier
TRIED AND TRUE 👏 Tubby Todd has been incredible for both of our babies. The Hair + Body Wash is so gentle, the Everyday Lotion is moisturizer and not greasy, the All Over Ointment is versatile to put on almost anything, and the Diaper Paste has cle...
The Baby Bundle
Another item that makes my OT heart happy! The Oball design is perfect for those babies who are still working on those grasping and reaching skills. They are also light enough to not hurt little heads (if the little hands holding them are still learn...
Bright Starts Little Shakers Set
The Cloud Island blankets are a GREAT size, so soft, and not to mention - so adorable 😭 we have one with us at all times!
Muslin Swaddle Baby Blankets - Farm Friends - 3pk
A pack ‘n play is great for travel - but also great to have at home! We used it for a bassinet when ours were little, a crib for traveling now, and we also used it as a safe play space when we needed it while we cooked/showered/etc. when our babies g...
Graco On the Go Zip DLX Travel Playard Bassinet
These. Drops.
This was the magic fix for us anytime our baby was fed, changed, comfortable, and STILL crying. Babies get gas and sometimes their bodies just need a little help with it. These work so quickly, giving pretty much instant relief to both ...
