I wanted to put together a simple checklist without all of the chatter. Here is the list of items I had on my registry and a few that I felt were important as I went along. I will include the actual brands that we bought to give you an idea. See my full guide to get more details.
I highly recommend an Amazon Registry, as it is universal, so you can add items from any website, not just amazon. You will receive a welcome kit (this includes Babyganics, Burts Bees and other brands.) You also get a 15% off completion discount, 90 days for returns. Amazon - Create an Amazon Baby Registry

,California Baby Everyday Calendula Lotion - 6.5 oz
. (Sensitive version also available.) Babyganics Baby Shampoo Plus Body Wash, Fragrance Free, 16 Ounce
- Burp cloths - We had all different brands but these were our favorites: aden + anais Classic Burpy Bib - Rock Star - 2 ct
- Muslin Swaddle Blankets are the best, especially these aden + anais Classic Swaddle 4 Pack, Shine On, One Size
though expensive, I will buy them again and again. Note: This link is for the original soft, large swaddle blankets. If you see SwaddlePlus, they are still nice but they are slightly different in size and thread count than those I have linked.
- Thermometer - preferably an ear thermometer. Braun is the best! Braun Forehead Thermometer or Braun Ear Thermometer. We also have Innoo Tech Baby Thermometer-Forehead & Ear Thermometer, Digital, which is very reasonably priced, for the diaper bag.
- Nose Frida!! FridaBaby Nasal Aspirator with 20 Additional Hygiene Filters
. Yes, you suck the snot out. No, it doesn't reach your mouth. It works better than any bulb sucker.

- Wubbanub - The best pacifier that ever was. WubbaNub Pacifier. It comes in all different animals, so explore!
- Diaper Bag - Skip Hop Forma Backpack - Depending on your style, you may want a really fancy giant purse, or a traditional diaper bag. I highly recommend this backpack, as it has plenty of pockets and compartments for everything you need! If you are searching for an XL diaper bag, check out my Large Diaper Bags post.
- Carrier or Wrap - There are so many options for babywearing, which is one of the best things that ever happened to me. Wearing my son allowed me to go hands-free and get so many things done! There are wraps, mei tais, fly tais, slings, soft-structured buckled carriers and more. I opted for a buckle carrier, which is ergonomic and really comfortable. I have the Tula Baby Carrier (the pattern is Sidekick, which we have in Infant & Toddler size, as well as another with a cute little fox print, Sly.) There are hundreds of different patterns to choose from!
- Sound machine - We originally had the SoundMe Giraffe but it doesn't play continuously (so annoying.) We bought this instead Graco Sweet Slumber Sound Machine, White
and it's perfect.

- Rock n Play - Fisher-Price Newborn Rock 'n Play Sleeper, Luminosity
- These were recalled because people were letting their babies sleep in them unsupervised. These are great for colicky babies that need an incline to nap, but they should NEVER be left alone. The recommendation for sleep is lying flat in a crib with nothing else in the crib, not even blankets or stuffed animals.

"Unnecessary" necessities in my opinion, so if you have a registry and/or unlimited funds, add them!:
- Baby wipes warmer - You'll thank me in the middle of the night.
- Diaper Pail - Playtex Diaper Genie COMPLETE - Make sure it has a foot pedal!
- Shopping Cart Cover - I'm no germophobe but with my baby, I am much more cautious. His immunity is building just fine being around cousins and friends.
- Sophia the Giraffe teether - I don't know what it is about her. Babies love her. Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether
. If you've read about these teethers getting moldy, it's true! Vulli recommends that Sophie NOT be submerged in water when cleaning, but rather spot cleaned. Parents were soaking them in water to clean, water got inside, mold developed. Don't submerge Sophie 😉

- We added Babyganics hand sanitizer to our registry to have at the house for visitors. I swear I'm not a germaphobe. I was just new mommy crazy.
