What Items Should You Put on Your Baby Registry?

When it comes to your baby registry you really need to take the time and think about what you really need. The first thing you will want to do is check the latest recall lists. Once place that you can look at to find this is Babies R Us. They always have an updated listing of all the recalls. Visit their website and check out what is on their list. Once you have done this you can then begin your search. First you will want to start with the essentials such as, receiving blankets, bottles, bathing equipment, etc. When planning your registry you can also include other necessary items such as diapers, and baby wipes. For the first couple of months it will not only save you money, but it will save you many trips to the store. This way you can focus more on caring for your new baby.

There are several things that you do not want to put on your registry, such as too many toys. There is nothing wrong with putting a few toys on the list. But I can definitely tell you from my personal experience people who are spending lots of money on gifts for your baby, really want to get your necessities not tons of toys. Besides your baby will not be able to play with any toys until at least three months. By that time you will want to get out with the baby. This time can be spent buying the toys that your baby may like. Another thing you will want to try and avoid is putting too many expensive items on your registry. This may deter some of your family and friends from ordering anything from your registry. They may choose instead to get you something that is not on your list, since they can not afford it. Be sure to include the feeding essentials that they will eventually need. Even though they will not need it for the first few months, you should keep in mind that some babies begin to eat earlier than others. This way if your baby happens to be an early bloomer you will be well prepared for anything.

Despite what many people may say, there really is nothing wrong with putting a little something for yourself on the registry. Besides you have been doing a lot of work for the past nine months, why shouldn’t you get a little pampering too. Most people love to buy a little something for the mommy to be. Last but certainly not least, remember to enjoy yourself. When you go to register at the store you should really enjoy the entire experience. They give you a scanner and you can walk around scanning everything that you want. This is your time to enjoy yourself and have fun.
