Baby Registry as a First Time Mom
16
items Curating a baby registry is SO overwhelming. Here are some of my picks as a first time mom who did a lot of research. I highly recommend looking for these items secondhand as well!
We spent foreverrrrr picking out a stroller, but ultimately I liked this one the best when we tried them out in person. Bonus points for being newborn compatible
Cruz V3 - Owen
I knew a revolving car seat was important to me for accessibility reasons, and I loved that this one could grow with our child for years to come.
CYBEX Callisto G 360 | Official Online Shop
A good nursery chair was something we were willing to splurge on since we would be spending so much time in it. I wanted one that had an electric recline and USB port for charging. We got ours secondhand for half the price!
Paxton Swivel Glider & Recliner | Modern Nursing Chair
I wanted a diaper bag that would fit my life when I went back to work. This bag is the perfect mix of functional and beautiful
Emmy Collection
I love how versatile this crib is, particularly that it’s convertible and has wheels.
The Wave Crib | Convertible Crib To Toddler Bed
I was willing to spend more on a carrier that I knew would be supportive and comfortable for both myself and the baby. We got ours secondhand for a really great price!
Artipoppe
This dresser was the perfect size to hold clothes and baby essentials, and it also doubled as our changing station. I also love that it has safety features so only one drawer can be open at a time
Graco Teddi 6 Drawer Double Dresser Olive
I was really overwhelmed with all of the sleep sacks and TOG numbers, so I decided to invest in a couple of these sleep sacks. Perks: you don’t have to worry about temperature, and they are suitable for up to two years! We got ours secondhand
4 Season® Ultimate Baby & Toddler Sleep Sacks
I don’t think every family needs this, but I know how I am, and I knew this would really help with my mental health and anxiety.
Owlet Baby Monitor
Definitely not necessary, but we were willing to spend the extra money for the convenience.
Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer Sterilizer
Highly recommend looking for secondhand options!
The Play Gym | Baby Activity & Tummy Time Mat
I got this pump through insurance and paid the difference
S1 Plus Premier Rechargeable Double Electric Breast Pump
I knew I wanted a physical monitor rather than just an app on my phone, so this was our pick!
Momcozy 1080P 5" HD Video Baby Monitor
I knew I wanted a wipeable changing pad, and this one was also longer than other ones I saw, so that was a huge plus
Skip Hop Baby Changing Pad Wipe-Clean
I knew I wanted to baby wear as much as possible, and I loved how soft this carrier was. Definitely look for secondhand options!
Soft, Breathable Newborn Wraps
We don’t live near any family, so we knew we would likely be traveling with the baby. We tried this stroller out in person and were really impressed by how lightweight and simple it was. It even fits in an overhead bin, which was a huge selling point...
Joolz Aer² Travel Stroller | Lightweight & Compact
