Ok, I got a registry list from babiesRus...and I only want to register for what I REALLY need for the first few months. Im going to list a few items and Im wondering if you could tell me if I need them. Thanks!
Travel Mirror
Bottle Sterilizer
Bottle Drying Rack
Dishwasher Caddy
Insulated tote
Bibs (do newborns really need bibs?)
Digital AND ear thermometer
Ok this next list is under Car Seats(I registered for a SnugRide car seat):
Strap covers, neck wings, head support, full body support, car seat undermat, carrier cover
Ok for the next list, Id like to know if i need these and how many of each of these to register for:
Crib Sheets
Blankets
Receiving Blankets
Waterproof Pads
Sheet Savers
Body suits, cap and booty sets, side snap shirts, pull-over shirts, stretch sleep N play, Cotton overalls, gowns, socks, hangers
Lastly... what should I get for breast feeding accesories, what are must haves?
Travel Mirror - YES, so you can see the baby when he/she is rear-facing. A must have.
Bottle Sterilizer - no. soap and hot water is fine. Boil them when they are new, then just wash them well
Bottle Drying Rack - yes. I stored empty bottles upside down on mine when they were dry. Strongly recommend
Dishwasher Caddy - I don't have a dishwasher, but I hear these are needed if you do have one.
Insulated tote - Yes. If you are going to be toting breastmilk, you will need to keep it cool. Similac makes a great one.
Bibs (do newborns really need bibs?) - yes. The drool like mad. the little cloth bibs are great. and when they start eating, you can never have too many.
Digital AND ear thermometer - I use the ear thermometer. I have the same one we use at work (nursing home) and love it....but I am trained on how to use it properly. Not sure if that makes a difference, but some say they are not accurate. it is for me.
SnugRide car seat - very nice. this is what I had and LOVED it. Skip the spare base unless you use the 2nd car a LOT. we bought a 2nd base and used it twice!
Strap covers - yes. they keep the straps from digging in.
neck wings - I am not sure what these are.
head support- get the kind with the small one inside the big one for when the baby is really little
full body support - not needed. blankets work fine
car seat undermat - nope, never had one
carrier cover - a must have for a winter baby
Crib Sheets - 3. one to wash, one to use, and a spare
Blankets - 2 nice ones.
Receiving Blankets - plenty. They get use a lot. and puked on a lot
Waterproof Pads - can never have too many. you can lay the baby one them, change on them, even bath on them
Sheet Savers - I had 2 water proof mattress covers.
Body suits - we used 1-2 per day
cap and booty sets - a couple
side snap shirts - itched my baby too bad to wear
pull-over shirts - only used til the cord fell off
stretch sleep N play - all the wore the first 2 months (so get plenty)
Cotton overalls - didn't wear
gowns - tried them, but she wiggled out of the bottom. other people swear by them. I would say 3.
socks - some thin, some booties
hangers - plenty. the older the baby gets, the more you need.
My personal recommendations:
A wipe warmer - those things are cold!
a bottle warmer - never microwave bottles
Fisher price Crib Aquarium - better than a mobile. my daughter is 10 months and still loves hers
A care kit - nail clippers, nasal aspirator, brush, etc
baby tub - we have the infant to toddler tub. she still uses it.
Hooded towels - Carter's are more $ but they are thick and nice. don't get cheap ones. they are too thin.
Car bottle warmer - a must have for bottles on the go
