Baby Registry Must Haves

Thank you to everyone who responded to my question about what to include on a baby registry! I got so many helpful responses.  Some things shared were general and some were specific products.  I also appreciated a lot of the advice I received about types of things to get (or not get!). 

Here is some of the specific advice I got:

-Get lots pajamas with zippers and NO SNAPS

-Use plastic bibs, not fabric ones

-Get a backpack diaper bag, not an over the shoulder one

-Register for baby proofing and safety items

-Get a cart for diapers to put next to your bed

-"Less is best" as far as stuff!

-Register for a sound machine!

-Save the name and number of an IBCLC, and have your partner make an appointment.  Breastfeeding is a skill.

-Use cloth diapers (the kind that are a large absorbent cloth, not real diapers) as a spit-up rag

-Get a traveling sleep pod (like a little tent for babies that can get completely dark)

Here are some specific products that were recommended to me:
