The minimalist baby registry (as a mom of three littles).

items Let's be honest: there are way too many "must have" baby items being shoved in our faces. By the time we were pregnant with our first, I was determined not to take on the unnecessary junk that would just take more precious room in our already too-sma...

The Basics
If I had to start from scratch again, this is all I would get. Honestly? I would get everything except the car seat secondhand (which I did). Babies are more simple than you'd expect! I even put a note on the baby registry that we are more than happy...
Here's how to game the system (if you really want to). Continue to make your Target and Amazon registry but on the shower invites, use Babylist. It will compare prices and offer the best link for those purchasing. Plus, when someone buys something fr...
Number 1 Baby Registry
You can get whatever car seat system you want and everyone is going to have their own highly opinionated favorites. My only advice is to make sure that you buy the infant seat to match whatever stroller you're going with. We got this stroller for fre...

While there are many wraps to choose from, this one packs up nicely. My only issue is once they get bigger, they get too heavy to be supported. However, this is the only wrap I trust to hold my newborn/tiny infant for the first two months. Plus, she ...
Newborn Boba Baby Wrap Carriers
If you ask anyone, you're going to get some strong opinions on the *best* baby carrier. Whichever you you choose, it's important that it works with your life. This one was perfect for me because I was able to adjust the bottom to accommodate for prop...
Omni Classic (Formally Omni 360) - 100% Cotton & Mesh Soft Baby Carriers
My advice is to get two to three bibs max. Any more, you'll have them all over the house and never washed. This is the perfect amount in my opinion so one can be used while the other is washed.
Silicone Bibs
Cloth Diapers
Look, it's not everyone's cup of tea. I get it. But it's honestly WAY easier than you would expect! We do a combined cloth diaper and disposables at night. I also don't usually start the cloth diapers until around 2 months when I'm actually getting s...
There are LOTS of cloth diaper options our there now. These are my current favorite because the designs are just toooooo cute.
They are quite prices but it doesn't hurt to put them on your registry just in case!
However, if you purchase second hand ...
Nora's Nursery
This is the EXACT system I've used for years to help with spraying poop off the cloth diapers before tossing them into the laundry. The spray attachment for the toilet is so strong. I've even used this system to spray off my toddlers' pooped in under...
Poop Solution Spray Pal Diaper Sprayer Bundle
This is my number one tip for cloth diapers. You're going to store your dirt diapers in a reusable cloth bag in a trash can. We just got a regular one from our nearest grocery store but any with a foot pedal and lid will do! Keep it near your diaper ...
Glad 13 Gallon Plastic Kitchen Trash Can
When you buy your diapers secondhand (with is a GREAT option) you will likely need to strip the cloths so they can restore their absorbency. This reference is what I use to help me restore ours every year because we have hard water which tends to bui...
