While there are millions of products available, for you and your baby, I assure you that you do not need them all.

A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it
— Frank Howard Clark

One rule of thumb: put everything you need for your baby within the whole first year of his/her life on your registry. If other people don’t buy it, most registry locations give you a % off discount for anything you buy from your registry. That’s a win in my book.

For Baby: must haves -

  • Clothes: all seasons and all sizes up to 12-18 months

  • Socks

  • Diapers: all sizes

  • Wipes
