items I have 2 babies (1 girl, 1 boy) - use this as a guide to create your own registry! So much stuff out there is all frills & will simply take up space instead of being useful for your new life with a little one. I try to narrow down the necessities...

For Mom
End of 2nd trimester my back would kill me from the weight of my belly. This was a lifesaver for days working on my feet, cooking dinner, doing daily tasks, and still being able to do things with my oldest. I like that it’s not bulky so you don’t not...
Momcozy Ergonest Maternity Belly Band - Oyster Pink, M | Babylist Shop
Whether you want this before or after baby.. or both.. remember to take a moment to treat yourself. Experiences like this are a great thing to add to your registry!
Flow Head Spa
This is new for me with baby 2. First baby I hated being tied to the wall with a pump so the fact that I can be on the go and still moving while pumping has me so excited!
Momcozy M5 Hands-Free Wearable Electric Breast Pump Set
I wear these constantly and want them in every color/style! The band is super stretchy and thin so it doesn't feel like too many layers on.
Women's Secret Fit Over the Belly Slim Straight Leg Maternity Jeans - Harrison Wash - Size: Large - Motherhood Maternity
The entire front pocket zips down so you can see everything. I hate digging for things in a bag so this was super important to have. There's a lot of storage and it's not so large that you feel like you're lugging a suitcase around.
Itzy Ritzy Mini Plus - Vanilla Latte
Big Items for Baby
Once we left the infant seat this car seat was a must have. It grew and changed with my oldest all the way to currently a backless booster seat. Once the 2nd baby is out of a carrier we’ll repurchase one for him to grow with too.
The original went t...
Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 Car Seat - Maddox | Babylist Shop
I absolutely loved this travel system! The stroller has a bassinet option, lock in your carrier, face forward, or face the front. This truly grew with us and I never had an issue!
Graco Modes Pramette Travel System with Snugride LX - Black
We have this in Desert Tan for baby 2. So far it is easy to assemble/push down. I love that it has the option for a bassinet for longer walks so baby isn't uncomfortable in a car seat, but also comes with the car seat and base!
Evenflo Pivot Modular Travel System with LiteMax Infant Car Seat with Anti-Rebound Bar - Oxford Black
Daily Essentials
This has been our most used item even almost 6 years later. In the nursery I had the sleep setting for a soft/dim blue light and soothing sound, and a diaper change setting for a bit of a brighter light to help me see without fully waking her during ...
Hatch Rest Sound Machine 2nd Gen - Rest 2nd Gen | Babylist Shop
On the go sound machine is a must if you plan to be out and about/have older kids and will NEED to be on the move.
Hatch Hatch Go Sound Machine - Mint | Babylist Shop
Some babies have more sensitive skin than others or you may be concerned of hidden chemicals in wipes: get these!! They clean beautifully so you’re not using 100 at a time, no smell, and safe for all skin types.
WaterWipes products at Target
A portable sound machine option if you’d rather have white noise AND lullabies. Had this for my 1st and she still uses it every night for the lullaby sound.
Skip Hop Stroll & Go Portable Baby Sound Machine - Owl | Babylist Shop
These bottles were great. They’re not fussy with too many pieces. Align the nipples with the tip of the nose to allow better airflow and baby will do just fine feeding with as minimal gas bubbles as possible.
Phillips Avent Natural Baby Bottle with Natural Response Nipple Newborn Gift Set - 17pc
I’m the worst at swaddling with a blanket & got really anxious that baby would bust out of it at night and get the blanket on top of their face so we went with sleep sacks. Life savers. Baby was SO much more comfortable and slept better & I c...
HALO Sleepsack 100% Cotton Swaddle Wrap - Penguins - NB
My oldest ended up being allergic to all disposable diapers so we went with cloth and I loved it! These are super easy to use once you understand the wash process and I like that this set comes with the wet bag for soiled diapers.
6ct Reusable Cloth Diapers, One Size Adjustable, Washable Soft Absorbent, Waterproof Cover, 4-Layers Microfiber Inserts (Whimsical) - Simple Being
The entire Aveeno baby line is perfect, but this especially as a daily lotion is great. It's not too thick and oily for morning use and is good for sensitive skin.
Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Body Lotion for Delicate Skin with Natural Colloidal Oatmeal & Dimethicone - 8 fl oz
A must have in every diaper bag/changing area in the house. If baby has a rash this will clear it up and keep baby from being fussy in no time.
Desitin Maximum Strength Baby Diaper Rash Cream with Zinc Oxide - 4oz
For the Nursery
Some people use a trash can & that’s cool but we don’t take trash out daily so the smell would linger. This is a steel bin vs others that are plastic so the smell doesn’t absorb into it. You can use regular trash bags inside (save $$$). It traps ...
Ubbi Ubbi x Babylist Matte Steel Diaper Pail - Matte Open Water | Babylist Shop
Your bassinet doesn’t need to rock, swivel, have sounds, bounce, etc. This is simple, but it slides right up to the bed and has a zipper side to easily get baby in & out.
Baby Delight Beside Me Dreamer Organic Bassinet and Bedside Sleeper - Mocha
I prefer a changing pad like this on a regular sized dresser so they have a big kid dresser for later, you have extra storage, and there's not a one season use furniture piece. This changing pad keeps baby from rolling out and is super easy to wipe c...
Summer by Ingenuity Contoured Change Pad
This is simple and allows you to see/hear baby in their room. You do not need something to connect to your phone or hang above their head, I promise.
Motorola 5" Video Baby Monitor w/PTZ - VM75
Playtime/Learning
This play mat grows with the baby which most of them don’t! We used this for years as just a play piano once they can sit up. Also the songs…. I can get down with them! IYKYK
Fisher-Price Fisher Price Glow and Grow Kick & Play Gym - Blue | Babylist Shop
You can absolutely get the more expensive one, but why? Once babys legs start kicking the momentum carries them for a while so they can bounce themselves and you can get 2 minutes to breathe.
Baby Delight Highland Organic Portable Baby Bouncer - Oat
