Baby Registry - New Baby Must Haves
27
items My kiddos are now 4 and 2. These are the things we used most often and that I recommend to all my friends with new babies on the way!
It’s simple, easy to clean, and inexpensive. We purchased a foot bar separately, but our kids have both really enjoyed this high chair.
ANTILOP High chair with tray - white/white
This carrier is soft and snuggles your baby really well. We live in Houston and it gets pretty warm. We never had issues with overheating. I used this even more with baby #2 who constantly needed to be held.
BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Mini Jersey - Light Gray
Another life saver- I would put my babies in this while I showered and did things around the house. We added a toy bar and the kids both loved it. We didn’t buy a swing because of space issues. This bouncer collapses down and is easy to store.
Bouncer Bliss - 3D Jersey, Light gray
This bedside bassinet is simple and perfect for baby. We used this with both of our kiddos. It swivels which makes it easy to get baby in and out while you’re still laying in bed. This was helpful with night feedings and soothing.
HALO Innovations BassiNest Swivel Sleeper 3.0 Baby Bassinet - Gray
I nursed both of my kids for 15 months. When I went back to work, this pump was what I used. It’s rechargeable or can be plugged into the wall. You can get extra flanges and parts from amazon (non-spectra brands such as Maymom) as well. I found it to...
Spectra S1 Plus Portable & Rechargeable Hospital Strength Double Electric Breast Pump
We loved the halo sleep sacks with my daughter. They kept her in… snug and happy!
Baby Sleepsack Swaddles | HALO
We loved the swaddle me sleep sacks with my son. He wasn’t able to wiggle out of them and I found them very easy to use.
SwaddleMe by Ingenuity Monogram Collection Swaddle Wrap, for Ages 0-3 Months - Rising Sun - 3pk
All kyte baby products are fabulous, and we have used these sleep sacks for both kids. In our warmer Houston climate, I’ve consistently used the 0.5 tog (thinnest option) for daytime naps and 1.0 tog for nighttime. There is a lot of info on the inter...
Shop Sleep Bags | Bamboo Sleep Sacks
This baby bath sits in the tub and allows your baby to be cradled but also be partially submerged in the water. We used this for the first few months before baby can sit up on their own. Highly recommend.
Angelcare Baby Bath Support - Gray
Once our kiddos got a little bit bigger, we graduated from the angel care bath tub to this bath seat. It’s very secure in the tub and allowed baby to move around safely in the tub with support for those learning to sit on their own!
Ingenuity My Bath Seat with Suction Cups
We have one of these in each of the kids rooms. It’s nice to have the option for a light and you can control these sound machines from your phone. They came highly recommended from a friend and we love them too.
Hatch Rest 2nd generation - Night Light, Sound Machine, and Time-to-Rise
We bought the vava with baby #1 then purchased the duals screen monitor once we were expecting baby #2. We have loved both products and would buy again. The images are clear, angle is wide, and sound is great.

VAVA Split Screen Baby Monitor: Watch Two Rooms at Once
This pack & play is great! I love the baby bassinet and changing station. We used this in our living room during the early days to have a place to lay baby down. And now we use it for sleep while traveling. It looks great, no obnoxious colors, an...
Breeze® Plus Playard With Bassinet & Changer
This stroller is #1 for a reason. It’s a very smooth ride and is easy to maneuver. Great for your new baby because of the bassinet. Once your child has outgrown it, the regular seat is easy to change into. I will say, I didn’t love this stroller when...
Strollers
I am a rose gold girlie, so this diaper bag spoke to me. It’s a bit pricy, but you’re worth it! It’s very stylish and roomy, can be worn as a backpack or a shoulder bag, and comes with adapters to affix to a stroller.
Diaper Bags
These were recommended by our IBCLC. We used (and liked) Dr Browns as well, but these are much easier to clean with fewer parts. They nipple is breast-like and recommended for breastfed babies. We enjoyed these bottles!
Baby Bottles for Every Stage | Anti-Colic, BPA-Free & More
Love these burp cloths because they have a snap and can also be worn as a bib for feeding. They come in lots of cute patterns for boys and girls!
Burpy Bibs | aden + anais - Halo Sleep
This is one of the safest infant seats on the market. We found it cozy, but also easy to install and use. There are adapters so you can use your uppababy vista v2 (and many other) stroller for easy moving of baby from car to errands etc. We used ours...
Clek Liing Infant Car Seat | Rigid-LATCH | Top Safety Rating | – ShopClek US
These were my favorite pumping bras. Also great to use as a comfy lounging top or bra as well. I bought 4 of these to have in rotation for when I was pumping after going back to work, and I recommend to all my friends!
Nursing Bras and Tank Tops
Hands down my favorite nursing bra. I’m small chested, so take that for what it’s worth. I lived (and still live in… after stopping nursing) in these bras. They’re super soft and comfortable, and easy to use. I got a 3 pack (gray, pink, and black). I...
The Everything Bra | Soft Maternity & Nursing Bra for Pregnancy & ...
These are awesome. It’s not a warmer (which I never tried, but didn’t feel it was necessary), but just adds some weight to the top to allow for only one wipe to come out at a time. I bought a second for my second kiddo so we could have one in each of...
Perfect Pull™ Wipes Dispenser
This diaper rash cream has been a lifesaver. I heard about it from another mom and gave it a try. It seems to do the best at clearing up my kid’s rashes. We sort of alternate between this and Aquaphor for the kids.
Triple Paste® Diaper Rash Cream – Official Home Page
The toy we love to hate. My kids both LOVED this toy. It’s very interactive and colorful. The songs get stuck in your head (purple money in a bubble gum tree)… iykyk! But I’d highly recommend for help with tummy time and a little bit of entertainment...
Fisher-Price Baby Playmat Deluxe Kick & Play Piano Gym, Green Musical ...
This activity table was one of our favorites. We used with both kids. It’s great when they’re working on leg strength. I also liked that my kids were safe, secure, and entertained which allowed me to do things around the house (within sight) without ...
Skip Hop Silver Lining Cloud Activity Center - Gray
Simple and effective. I love the stand on this one. We’ve tried other brushes but this was the best and I repurchased when it got worn out over time!
OXO TOT Bottle Brush with Bristled Cleaner & Stand - Gray
This bottle drying rack saves counter space (we don’t have much) and looks great. The colors are simple and this is a great product I’ve continued to recommend over the little grass ones, etc.
