Minimalist Baby Registry for Moms Who Hate Clutter
24
items I made a “perfect” baby registry once. Half of it went untouched. The other half saved my sanity.
This list? Just the essentials I’d 100% rebuy — no cutesy fluff, no overkill. Think: low-maintenance gear that works for real life (and real sleep depr...

Feeding Without the Overwhelm
Whether you’re nursing, pumping, combo feeding, or just winging it — these are the feeding tools that made things easier, not more complicated. Zero judgment. Just practical picks.
A nursing cover that's breathable, super stretchy and doubles as carseat cover. Best $14 ever spent
Comfy & super stretchable nursing cover
Mama, you're gonna be multi-tasking a lot. What's better than one handsfree breastpump? Two of 'em
Momcozy wearable breastpump
Got a wearable pump, but you need a cover too right!? This one right here comes with a mat as well to air dry your pump parts.
Wearable Breast Pump Bag
Because all that feeding and pumping is gonna make those nipples sore. Prevent them before they're too cracked.
Motherlove Organic Nipple Cream
Storage bags that stand on their own so you don't spill the golden liquid mama!
Breast Milk Storage Bags
Those babies gets collicy too soon, these anti-colic bottles with wide neck to prevent colic and give your breasts a break.
Anti-Colic Milk bottles
You'll wash more bottles + pump parts than you ever thought possible. A drying rack with a brush is non-negotiable.
Note: “This rack is oddly satisfying. And it doesn’t look like a science experiment on your counter.”
Bottle Drying Rack with Brush
Padded nursing bras to save you from the leakage and also does not compromise on the look and comfort.
PS: I still use those, 18months postpartum
Maternity Nursing Bra with pads
Helps with positioning, especially if you had a C-section or just want to save your wrists.
Note: “If you think you don’t need it... wait until you feed for 45 mins straight.”
Nursing Pillow
Bathing & Skincare Without the Slippery Chaos
Because newborn bath time is 10% cleaning and 90% “please don’t slip out of my hands.” These are the bath and body basics that made things way less chaotic (and cuter too).
You’ll use these for bath time, spit-ups, face wipes, and everything in between. Pro tip: get a ton, because your dryer might just make them disappear just like socks
Soft Baby Washcloths for Tiny Rolls & Toes
Built-in support = two free hands. Makes solo baths doable and less terrifying in those early weeks. Plus comes with thermometer to make those initial bath easy and get the water temperature right!
Collapsible Baby Bathtub for Infants to Toddler
Tear-free, scent-free, and doesn’t turn your baby into a dry little raisin. We stuck with this one long after the newborn stage.
Aveeno Baby Body Wash – Gentle and No Drama
Hydrating enough for Canadian winters, light enough for daily use. Bonus: doesn’t leave you or baby feeling slimy.
Aveeno Baby Daily Lotion – Soft Without the Grease
This stuff actually works on rough spots, red patches, and post-bath flare-ups. A must if your baby has sensitive skin.
Aveeno Baby Eczema Care for Dry Patches
Works for massage, cradle cap, and even your own elbows. Smells amazing, absorbs fast, and makes you feel like you’re nailing this whole mom thing.
Organic Coconut Oil for Baby Massage
Gentle, grippy, and gets into the flaky bits without a meltdown. Honestly kinda satisfying.
Silicone Scalp Brush – Bye, Cradle Cap
Some towels are all fluff and no function — not these. Quick-drying, lightweight, and big enough to actually wrap your baby without a wrestling match
Muslin Hooded Towels - Soft & Quick Dry
Diapering Without Losing My Mind
Changing diapers is a full-time job in the first year. These are the things that made it slightly less gross, slightly more organized, and way more portable — because the world doesn’t stop for blowouts.
Because you don't wanna put your baby on that public changing station. And also don't wanna run to the changing station at home all the time, use this and just change in the living room if you must.
Portable Diaper Changing Pad
If it can’t hold snacks, bottles, 4 outfits, and your sanity — it’s not the one. Bonus points if it’s stylish enough to double as your purse.
Diaper Bag Backpack – Cute & Spacious
Tried and true. Minimal leaks, soft on the skin, and doesn’t leave that weird plastic smell. Works for chunky thighs and blowout season.
Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers Day+Night
Get the ones that don’t rip, don’t sting, and don’t smell like fake lavender. These go everywhere: nursery, car, purse, partner’s jacket pocket.
Sensitive Baby Wipes – Gentle on Bums
Creates a real barrier, not just a thin wish. Use it once and suddenly diaper rash is “that thing we used to worry about.”
Zinc-Based Diaper Rash Cream – Thick & Fast
Keeps everything in one place so you’re not shouting “Where’s the wipes?!” at 2am. Grab one with dividers and a handle. You’ll thank me later.
Diaper Caddy Organizer for Changing Table
The trick is something they can’t throw across the room mid-change. A teether, rattle, or high contract book = diaper change peace treaty.
