Corrine StokoeThis baby registry list was originally written in 2013, a few months after I had my first baby girl, Anabelle. A former roommate of mine texted me one evening saying she'd just gotten the happiest news that she and her husband were chosen to be adoptive parents to a new baby! But she had nothing ready and needed to get it all immediately. I stayed up till the wee hours of the morning writing this post just for her.
Now that I've had FIVE babies: Anabelle in 2012, Lyla in 2015, Millie in 2018, Harry in 2020, and our last baby Bobby in January of 2023, I've updated this post to its 5th edition with new AND tried-and-true favorites. This post has been pinned on Pinterest tens of thousands of times and even led to a feature in Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine in April 2015, a month before my second baby was born.
This post is 100% unsponsored (although I ONLY work with brands I absolutely love in other sponsored posts, which are ALWAYS clearly disclosed at the top of sponsored posts). I've given my honest and most heartfelt opinion on everything, and I gave this exact same list and exact same advice to my own sister when she had her first. I feel honored so many of you have trusted me to help you find baby gear you'll love and I hope this helps make everything from the blowouts to the late night feeds to the many “firsts” just a little easier.
With love,
Corrine
I'm so excited to finally bring you a post that has been a staple for years in this community. It has been edited and re-edited, added to, deleted, and perfected. It's really been a labor of love. This is my ultimate best baby registry list of ALL the things you will need for your baby.
When I got prego the first time in 2012, I made it my business to know about all the hottest products and researched the heck out of every baby gadget out there. I interviewed interrogated best friends, co-workers, my sister in law, neighbors, even complete strangers in public on their favorite baby everything. I joined online mom forums. I religiously followed (stalked) baby guru experts. I think I read everything on the internet ever published about every stroller, carrier, diaper, binky, and onesie out there. I'm only slightly exaggerating, but not much. Before I even had my kid, my friends were referring their friends to me for baby gear questions. If you want to nerd out on a convo about strollers or car seats, come sit by me!
As you can imagine, when I actually HAD my first baby, and then my second and third and fourth and fifth, I discovered even more what I actually like, don't like, LOVE, can't live without, etc. And that's what I'm going to share with you today.
Where should I create my baby registry?
My favorite place to register? It's not in-store, Babylist registry, Bed Bath & Beyond, Buy Buy Baby, or the Walmart baby registry program. My absolute favorite is the Amazon baby registry because they have AMAZING perks!
Some of their perks include a generous completion program (15% off everything on your registry after your baby is born if you're an Amazon prime member) and THE best return policies – free returns for a YEAR, no questions asked!
Plus, it's SO easy for people who shop Amazon anyway to buy things off your registry (with free shipping if they're prime members!), and they have an amazing thank-you note organizer that automatically saves the mailing addresses of anyone who sends you a gift so you can easily send them a thank you note. Need I say more?!
If you're having any kind of baby shower, make sure to include your Amazon baby registry on the baby shower invitations!
Deals deals deals
Lastly, because my blog Mint Arrow is dedicated to deals, I promise that anytime I find a deal with super low prices on any of these baby favorites and must-haves, I'll post them on my blog! So if you're liking what you see below, make sure you sign up for my newsletter to get updates on the best deals I find on baby gear plus fashion, beauty, kid stuff, home decor, and other goodies that are worth your hard-earned pennies.
And if you're more of a text message kind of parent and not as much of a check-your-email-10x-a-day-er, you'll want to join our text group HERE and I'll text you ONLY when I find the most insanely good baby gear deals.
So, without further ado, here are my absolute MUST HAVE favorite baby items. A baby registry checklist if you will.
Pregnancy
Stretch Mark Oil
I have stretch marks all over my body from growing fast as a kid, but I didn't get a SINGLE stretch mark on my belly during ANY of my 4 pregnancies and I believe it's because I used this Mother's Special Blend All Natural Skin Toning Oil daily. It smells good, helps with itching, and doesn't stain your clothes or bedding.
*Used this with my first, second, third, fourth AND fifth pregnancy and STILL not a single stretch mark on my belly! I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
Maternity Tees
I wore these maternity tees a ton through all of my pregnancies. SO great for underneath any shirt that won't button, a cardi that doesn't quite fit anymore, or to fit your new sprouting boobies. Because if you're like me, they've already grown two sizes. Oh don't worry, they aren't done growing. Just you wait till your milk comes in!
Belly Support Belt
Speaking of maternity, this belly band is fantastic for that weird in-between stage where you aren't quite ready for maternity pants but you can't button yours either. Third and fourth pregnancy – didn't use any type of belly/bella band because the third time around especially, I knew JUST how amazing maternity jeans were and didn't want to wait one day longer than necessary to jump right into maternity jeans. And my fifth pregnancy I was on bedrest for 6 of the 9 months so I wasn't about to wear jeans in bed. More on surviving bedrest in a minute.
Maternity Clothes
Let me be crystal clear: THERE IS NO SHAME IN WEARING MATERNITY CLOTHES. They are awesome. AWESOME. Comfy. Cute. Not frumpy like they were in your mother's maternity time. A million times better than uncomfortably trying to make your regular clothes work. Just do it. You'll wonder why you waited so long.

Jeans
Over the course of three pregnancies, I've tried everything from the cheapest to most expensive, and THESE Paige Ultra Skinny Maternity Jeans (pictured above) were my MOST worn pair! So comfy and cute and flattering. 1000% worth every penny. One of my ONLY regrets from my first pregnancy was waiting so dang long to just buy maternity clothes.
If you’ve moved on from skinny jeans and you’re looking for an alternative that will fit as well, this designer pair was my favorite non-skinny maternity jeans with pregnancy 4 and 5.
And for the most affordable but still really flattering and pretty comfy maternity jeans, I'd shop here and here (the styles change constantly or I'd link you to styles I like!).
Joggers
If Vuori wasn't my wardrobe lifesaver during my last pregnancy, I don't know what was. I wore my Vuori joggers basically every day of my 5th pregnancy while I was on bedrest. I'd become converted to Vuori jogger life after having Harry and discovering my love for their versatility and comfort, and was AMAZED that they worked for me during my entire pregnancy and after. I wore the same size all throughout my pregnancy and I did size up on a new pair around Christmastime, but I really didn't need to because I kept wearing my normal size right up until delivery too. And then they've of course been the perfect pant for postpartum. I cannot recommend them enough!!
Dresses
This Ruched dress (similar to the one pictured below) is so stretchy and SOFT and comfy and pretty and it comes in a zillion colors so you can match it with a bunch of different kimonos or cardigans – one of my favorite FLATTERING ways to dress up a bump!

Sandals sold out, similar
ASOS is my favorite source for maternity dresses! You can find something for the most casual settings to the fanciest. The dress I'm wearing below came from them. It's sold out completely now, but they're constantly adding new cute ones so check back frequently throughout your pregnancy.
Free People is another place I love to shop at for beautiful maternity shoot dresses, blousey tops, and roomy outfits for once baby comes (more on that in this post!).
And one of my very favorite finds of my last pregnancy was Boohoo – where I found the dress I wore to my little brother’s wedding while I was 6 months pregnant but looked like I was 8.5 (that’s the 4th child!).
Hospital & going home must-haves
Swaddles
The first time I had a baby, everyone told me to NOT bring my own swaddle blankets into the hospital for my baby. But I went with my gut and threw them in my bag anyway. And I'm SO GLAD I DID. I absolutely loved having my own swaddle blankets.
OVERALL WINNERS:
We've loved many different brands of swaddles throughout the years, but my VERY favorite swaddles with my past three babies have been super stretchy swaddles from companies like Solly Baby and LouLou and Co. Stretchy swaddles make swaddling easier and are SO COZY.
HELPFUL SWADDLES:
My family thought this Miracle blanket was so mean, they even called it the straight jacket. But, this thing really is incredible! It makes swaddling so easy (and idiot-proof) and helps your baby to get all cozy-swaddled for the perfect sleepy time.
The Ollie Swaddle is another swaddle that makes it SO easy for caregivers to swaddle a baby, even if they don't have experience with swaddling! It also has a super warm insulated interior so it's great at keeping tiny babies warm all night. It's extremely expensive, but also extremely highly rated and recommended.
And we’ll talk about the SNOO in a minute, but these swaddles by The Happiest Baby were awesome for when we traveled without the SNOO but wanted to create the most similar sleeping environment possible.
How many swaddles?
I was told you should have at least 12 swaddle blankets. It sounds excessive, but I promise you'll find out why really fast! Think about it, they spit up all day, have blow outs, etc, and you swaddle them in those constantly. If you want to not do laundry daily, I honestly suggest getting at least 10. That's not even 2 per day for a whole week!
I bought a couple of VERY expensive swaddles that swore to be the best because of velcro etc (some did not even make the list above) but my favorites were just the plain old straight up swaddle blankets that I used with this swaddle technique!

Clothes
I was also told to not bring my own baby clothes into the hospital. Whatever. I'm SO glad I didn't follow that advice! There was nothing better than dressing up my brand new baby in cuddly clothes that I picked out just for them. That's just me though!
The most important thing to remember is that your little one will need to be in an outfit with legs (not a footless bundler) to ride home in his/her car seat from the hospital. Also, you'll want to wash the clothes in baby detergent before you bring them to the hospital.
Pictured below is a LouLou & Co swaddle and hat set from one of their newborn bundles! Such a great shower gift if you're looking for something that a first time or fifth time mom will 100% absolutely use.
The hospital will have some, but you'll want some basic onesies for when you get home. These were our favorite for Harry that we got asked about a lot! 7,000+ ratings and 85% give them 5-stars, like I do!
Accessories
I also took with us the bow hats you see below. I had always seen SO many babies with the cutest little bow hats in the hospital and wondered if just maybe some hospitals stocked those, until I finally asked my friend and L&D nurse, Heidi, about them and she told me the nurses MAKE these bows out of a regular hospital baby hats – who knew! I was so glad that I had bought my own for Millie for $12 because all 3 hospitals that I delivered my girls at didn't make one for me.
For Mom
- iPhone Cord: If you own an iPhone, you will be SO HAPPY you ordered one of these extra long iPhone chargers & cords. You won't be able to get up out of bed very easily, but will probably want to be able to use your phone a lot, and who knows how close the nearest outlet will be. I was sooooo glad I had this!
- Hair Ties: These are my new faves but obviously any will do! You'll just be so glad you have one.
- Toiletries: Bring your makeup, your favorite shampoo and conditioner, favorite lotion, deodorant, some dry shampoo (this dry shampoo is my current favorite, with this drugstore one as a close second), facial cleansing wipes, your toothbrush, etc. You will want to freshen up a little, I promise! It will make you feel so much better, especially if you're in the hospital for more than a day. See my full hospital bag in this post.
- Hospital Gown: Make sure they give you one of those hospital gowns. Being funny, but really. People made the biggest deal out of getting great/cute/comfy/stylish button-downs and jammies and sweats and runway gowns (kidding) to wear in the hospital. And you know what? I wore the hospital gown the whole time with my first. Easy access for the nurses who need to check you every couple hours, easy access for nursing, baggy enough to comfortably cover everything you need and want covered while you're recovering from just birthing a human.
- Sleep Shirts: With all my babies except Anabelle, I did take a couple sleep shirts, a cute robe and a pajama set (this is my all time fave!) that buttoned to hang out in and I'm glad I did! It was nice for pictures and if visitors came.
- Cozies: Bring your own robe, slippers, and flip flops.
- Nursing Bras: These are my new favorite nursing bras because they're ultra-affordable (3 for $29.99!), comfy enough to sleep in, but have a removable cup liner so they hide your nips and nursing pads and you feel like you can wear them out and about with real clothes! They're also the very best for the Willow Pump (more on that in a minute). If the removable liner sliding around drives you crazy (really only a problem when you pull them out of the laundry), you can also get these that I really like because they have built-in liners, but they come up a little higher. Find my full post of nursing bra favorites right here!
If someone's staying with you
Husband/partner's bag: Tell your hubs/partner or support person to pack a change of clothes, and if they plan on staying at the hospital with you, their own pillow, maybe even sheets or a blanket they like, snacks and any medication they might need, a laptop to do work from the hospital during down-time, and toiletries if they don't plan on leaving until you do!
Our first boy was born during the pandemic shutdown of 2020 in SoCal and Neil was not allowed to leave the hospital at all once we checked in, so he stayed overnight with me the whole time. He used this mattress topper (tiny when it's deflated so you don't feel foolish walking in with it!) and said it made a HUGE difference.
Going home outfit
You'll want something comfy to go home in too! Not to burst your bubble, but there's basically no chance in h. you're going to fit into your pre-pregnancy pants. So plan on wearing something very comfortable, stretchy (think drawstring or dress) and what you comfortably wore 6-months preggo. With Anabelle I wore a velour sweatsuit home and Uggs since it was winter in Utah…nice and comfy. With Lyla, Millie, Harry, and Bobby, since we're in California now, I wore a Free People dress home from the hospital that I knew I'd feel totally comfortable in. Flowy, comfy, easy.
Get a babysitter
If you already have a kid at home, things will be a little different this time! This is how we did things with baby #2: since I had a scheduled c-section, we had a planned babysitter for the day of Lyla's delivery. A babysitter brought Anabelle to the hospital to meet Lyla a few hours after she was born, then Neil took Anabelle home and I stayed in the hospital with Lyla. Each day after that we had a sitter in the morning come to the house and stay with Ani while Neil came for 3-4 hours to hang out and bond with Lyla, then he went home around lunch time and after Ani's afternoon nap, early evening(ish) they both came back to the hospital for a short visit and to bring me dinner 🙂 that worked out really well for us!
We did basically the same with baby #3, except only one visit with all the kids the day the baby was born. After that, it was so chaotic for Neil to try to bring the older girls that we kept them home after that first initial visit. With baby #4 and #5, the kids met their baby brothers the day we were discharged and honestly it was kind of nice! Way less stress coming out of surgery and having all my kids climb all over me a few hours later, bless their little sweet innocent wild hearts!
Then the day you are discharged, you for sure want to leave older sibling(s) at home with a sitter or at a neighbor’s house for a bit while your partner helps you gather all your stuff and takes you and baby home.
Car Seats
Car Seat SPLURGE option
Okay let's talk CAR SEATS!
Our newest fave and easily my #1 favorite new baby thing with Bobby is the Doona. It's actually been around for my last 3 babies, but I passed on it because I'd heard from some people it “wasn't worth it” because it can only be your stroller for a few months.
True…BUT. If you already have another stroller that you'll be using, the Doona is AMAZING for popping baby out of the car and not having to carry them everywhere! It's also absolutely amazing for travel! It has a seatbelt pathway so you can easily throw it into an Uber or Lyft on a trip or use it in a rental car without the base – super important if you plan to travel at all with your car seat.
So if you can afford 2 strollers OR are planning to get another stroller anyway, I say GO FOR IT. I can't believe I waited till Bobby to get ours!
We used this Nuna Pipa car seat & base for Lyla and Millie and LOVE it! The newest version, the Nuna Pipa Lite is one of the lightest on the market (5.7 lbs), and the privacy screen is so great! No need for a car seat canopy. It's also extremely easy to install into a car. We used it with our City Select stroller and it clicks right into the stroller base with this adapter kit. I also LOVE it in the UppaBaby Vista with this adapter!
Car Seat SAVE option
This City Go Car Seat is my #1 pick for a car seat that's budget-friendly AND has amazing reviews!! This is the one I had my mom get for my sister and she loves it, and we bought it too just so we could have a car seat with the seatbelt path for traveling, since the Nuna Pipa Lite in 2018-2020 didn't have one! It's actually very cozy for baby to sit and sleep in too. And the newer version they sell now, the Air, is much lighter at only 8 pounds!
Mama Recovery
I have c-sections, so these are my recommendations based off a c-section recovery. By the way, motherhood is amazing and beautiful no matter what way you become a mother, be that a c-section, unmedicated birth, birth with drugs, or adoption. Just had to throw that in there!
- Mesh Undies: Hoard these! Take as many homes as you can. You will be glad you did, just trust me on this.
- Disposable Underwear: These were some of THE most helpful things I bought for my 3rd and 4th recovery. It's just really nice to wear these instead of worrying about bleeding onto your bed or whatever you're wearing. I bought these with Millie and these with Harry (waaaaay less $$!). I had a giant pack of thick pads leftover from the 2 miscarriages I had before Bobby, so I used those instead of the disposable underwear for recovery with Bobby.
- Pads: You are gonna need these. For a while. Way longer than you expect (probably) if you are a first-time mom. These are the ones I liked best.
- Fridababy Momwasher: This is 100000x better than the squirt bottle that the hospital gives you! I think it’s my most favorite postpartum discovery of this pregnancy and I want to hand one to every woman who has a new baby. It’s THAT GOOD.
- Frida Mom Kit: I bought this for myself and then gifted it to my sis when she had her baby and we both LOVED IT!!! In her words, “it's everything the hospital will give you for recovery, but BETTER.” I couldn't agree more. She had vaginal deliveries and said she would buy this for herself, but bring it to the hospital next time. And she's a minimalist so that's saying a lot! They now make a c-section version which was absolutely perfect for my recovery with Bobby.
- Colace: Take Colace religiously! Do not forget. Do not skip it. Do not cheat. Do not run out. Do not forget to buy it. Do not collect $200 and go directly to jail. No but really, just trust me on this one.
- Belly Bandit: I was SO GLAD I bought this Belly Bandit. More on this below because I have a lot to say. With Bobby I bought this less-expensive version, just to test it out, and LOVED it.
- House Dresses: Let’s be honest, you’re gonna feel a little like you just got hit by a semi-truck, yet you still look 6 months pregnant, and combining that with the sleeplessness it’s kind of hard to feel human after having a baby! I have LOVED the house dress trend with babies 3 and 4 (where was this when I had my other two babies?!?!!!) and one of the BEST house dresses I’ve found was from Nesting Olive (pictured below) that I wore throughout my pregnancies too! I love that the sleeves are a little more tailored, the body is at a flattering a-line, and it has convenient snaps for nursing! It’s cute enough to wear on your first couple ventures out of the house but comfy enough to sleep in.
Belly Bandit
The Belly Bandit kind of helps feel like you have something supporting/holding everything in while your c-section scar heals. If you didn't have a c-section, it will still help with pulling everything in and moving your hips back into place while your body still has relaxin in its system – the chemical that helps your hips spread to prepare for baby to come out (lovely right!) stays in your system anywhere from at least 6 weeks to a year.
Take advantage of when your hips will move easily and wear this thing every day for the first 6 weeks to help your hips go back to normal. With my second and third postpartum experiences, I tried out a few post-pregnancy girdles to see if I liked anything better. I tried cheaper, more expensive, etc., and I still love Belly Bandit the best!
Budget buy: I tried and loved this less-expensive version with my last recovery.
Read ALL my tips for postpartum recovery in this post!
Diapering, laundering, bath time & first aid
How many diapers do I need?
Okay, the hospital will give you diapers. But you'll (obviously) need some when you go home. And unless you have a really big baby, your babe will most likely be in newborn size diapers for a few weeks.
I stressed and STRESSED about how many diapers to buy in what sizes and here's my advice: take a deep breath and don't worry about it. Buy ONE jumbo package of newborn size diapers and then just wait and see how fast your baby grows. I swear most of my babies were only in size 2 for a few weeks, but in size 3 for months! Bobby however kind of skipped over size 1s and went from newborn to 2 really fast because he's grown like a weed! Kids are all different and it's a little unpredictable what sizes they'll be in at which ages and for how long.
Diapering Pro-Tip
I like to buy up a size and put my baby in those at night with a little diaper ointment (as a barrier for any poop that happens during the night). They are the “nighttime” diapers and then when I realize the baby is suddenly grown out of their current diapers, I already have the next size up on-hand. So for example, when our babies were in newborn diapers, they slept in a size 1 diaper at night.
Favorite Diapers
I used to SWEAR by Target diapers but – I am so sad – they totally changed them and they're terrible now! At first I thought it was a fluke, but a few blowouts and leaks later, I've sworn them off 🙁
But one brand that's gotten even BETTER is Honest diapers. I used to talk some heat on these diapers saying they were a silly luxury, buying “cute” diapers for your kid to pee and poop in but YOU GUYS. They changed the overall construction of their diaper and they are BY FAR the most absorbent, blowout-proof, leak-proof diaper I've used and Neil agrees. Honest diapers are just superior, which is nice when you're spending more!
If you want a more budget-friendly option, I think Amazon basics diapers are pretty good too!
Wipes
I have tried LOTS of wipes and my favorite for inexpensive are Costco hands down! The Honest Company has some really great plant-based wipes that come in super cute packaging to match your cute diapers that we've loved for being gentle and effective. If you're interested in water wipes, I tried both the water wipes brand and Pamper's version, and I like Pampers water wipes the best!
BOY pro-tip: Bobby was whizzing on himself almost every diaper change for a while there, until someone replied to my instagram stories about this and said to put a wipe on his belly right before changing his diaper. This causes him to pee right before I change him, so no more peeing right when I go to change his diaper. We've had about 90% accuracy with this method!
Healing Ointment
Aquaphor baby healing ointment has been the most amazing butt cream I've ever used, better than butt paste, better than Desitin, better than everything I've tried. I put a layer of this on our baby's bum before bed every single night before I put them down for the night and it's like a protective layer that prevents diaper rash. I LOVE IT.
This BabyBum Diaper cream brush is for sure the most ridiculous looking baby gear item I've ever seen, but also the most underrated by far! I thought these were just straight-up stupid when I first saw them, but they're ACTUALLY PRETTY COOL. It allows you to spread the cream or ointment on their bum way more evenly and then you just wipe it off with your wipe after and your fingers aren't covered in baby bum cream while you try to not get it on your baby as you set him/her down before you go wash your hands. You're laughing if you've done this before because you know it's true!
Smart Changing Pad
This smart changing pad/scale is a bit of a splurge, but I love that it has helped me track my baby's growth and development in between doctor's appointments. It's both a changing pad and a scale, and it automatically syncs with an app on my phone to log baby's weight at every changing.
A smart changing pad is the kind of thing I totally rolled my eyes at when I first heard about it, but Millie was underweight and needed extra check-ups in her first few days home so this actually provided me with a LOT of peace of mind and I felt like it was totally worth easing my mind. After she moved past being underweight, I loved that it gave all kinds of insights into weight, feedings, and diaper changes through the app and it's actually all really fascinating to follow along with!
Diaper Pail & Dispenser
Many people recommended this Munchkin Diaper Pail over the Diaper Genie and we love it. It's way less expensive and the Arm & Hammer baking soda helps take care of the smell! I've heard a lot of people say they just use a regular trash can and that's great too.
If you don't want to have to buy special bags for your diaper pail, the Ubbi diaper pail is pretty great!
This Munchkin diaper bag dispenser has been a lifesaver for on-the-go changes more than once. Changing a stinky diaper with nowhere to dispose of it? No problem, this little bag dispenser will keep it from stinking up your car or someone else's house until you can get to a proper trash! I've also used one of these for a blowout on an outfit that you don't want to throw away if you're out and about, but you can't wash it right on the spot.
Changing Mat
I LOVE this Gathre micro mat to throw in all my diaper bags! It makes changing baby on any surface, whether it's one of those sketchy pull-down things in a public restroom or your friend's sofa or an airport waiting area feel a whole lot safer because there's a buffer between baby's cute bum and the surface you're changing them on. We LOVE Gathre mats for our big girls too for all their crafting adventures, we take one on every single beach trip, and Neil is a stickler about ALWAYS having one in the trunk of our cars to protect the upholstery from stroller rash. Yes I just made that up.
Baby Laundry Detergent
I love that Dreft is gentle enough to not irritate that beautiful new baby skin, and it smells amazing! But my new fave with Harry & now Bobby for baby detergent is this stuff – it smells AMAZE.
Stain Remover
This Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover is an absolute must for getting all those baby spit up stains out. There will be a lot of them. Get ready.
One of my sweet neighbors came to meet Lyla when she was just a couple days old and brought me a bar of this Fels-naptha soap and told me it was the BEST for getting out baby blowout stains. She was right! It's good stuff. Immediately wash any of those blowouts out in cold water and scrub with this bar of soap, then throw in the wash and they'll come out completely unscathed.
Cleansing Cloths
Noodle & Boo Ultimate Cleansing Cloths are so nice for when they're a few days old and you can't get their little umbilical cord wet. Also great if you've just bathed them and then they spit up and you don't want the poor thing to smell like spit-up all day, OR if you have a little boy like Bobby who loves to tinkle on himself every 3rd diaper change. These smell like heaven.
Baby Baths
Eurobath: This was my favorite baby bath with babies 1 and 2! A ton of other moms recommended this to me and it was a million times easier to use than the tummy tub (the baby bathtub I originally bought with Anabelle, which was basically a glorified bucket that ended up being a nightmare to use). It also converted nicely to a sitting-up tub once they were at that stage.
Puj tub: this one is so nice for when they're teeny tiny, and it folds up so small and travels really easily too! Ideal if you live in a smaller space and don't have a lot of storage. Just know they grow out of these pretty fast so you'll need something else by 6 months at least.
Skiphop tub: this is our newest fave because it's really easy for giving even tiny babies baths, but it also supported Harry nicely when Millie wanted to get in the tub too so they BOTH could be in the big bathtub at the same time.
Body Wash & Lotion
This Noodle & Boo Soothing Body Wash and Super Soft Lotion set is still one of my favorite baby smells. Every single time anyone picks up one of my babies after I used this wash or lotion, they say “oooh the baby smells so good!” I've switched all my babies over to Tubby Todd pretty quickly because it's way better for their skin, but for nostalgic reasons, I've had all of my babies take their first bath in Noodle & Boo and I have a feeling it's a scent that will make me cry someday when I want to remember what it was like having a brand new baby.
Tubby Todd is the MOST AMAZING baby soap and lotion of all time. If you have a baby with skin issues, this will change your life! With Anabelle, we didn't have much of an issue with eczema, but Lyla had it pretty bad at first. We started using Tubby Todd and it cleared up OVERNIGHT. Millie had a little bit of baby acne and cradle cap and it would vanish within 24 hours every time I applied the all over ointment. Washing my babies in Tubby Todd and applying all-over ointment has given them the most beautiful flawless baby skin. This is a MUST in my opinion.

Towels
These baby washcloths are ultra soft and inexpensive and perfect for baby bath time.
I've gotten one of these Little giraffe hooded towels for Lyla and for Millie because they are THE softest towels I've ever felt in my life. It was a splurge, but one of my favorite baby items. Definitely, more of a fun luxury than a must-have, but a great gift idea if you're giving to someone who's having their second or third or tenth baby 🙂 Just don't put it in the dryer, it will lose its softness!! Hang dry only.
Nails
Cutting baby fingernails used to be the worst part of being a mommy. It was almost impossible to not cut your baby's fingers for the first time. But it's also terrible when they scratch themselves so it's a necessary evil. Enter the FridaBaby NailFrida nail clippers – the best clippers I've found for babies. I've actually avoided cutting my babies' skin with these every time I've used them! YAY for improvement!!
Thermometer
We started Anabelle out with an anal thermometer and hated it. It was so hard to get an accurate reading, so I finally spent the money and ordered this Braun baby Thermometer instead. Love it. So comforting to know your baby's true temp by just putting this in their ear when they're sick!
Snotsucker
This Nosefrida The Snotsucker Nasal Aspirator is truly one of the most genius inventions ever. You will be so glad you bought this. Trust me.
New in 2023 – this electric snot sucker. IT IS AMAZING! 10/10 recommend.
Nursing & Bottle Feeding
I've nursed, pumped and formula fed my babies, so these are my recommendations based off my personal experience with all of those different stages. You can read ALL my tips on breastfeeding in this post!
Nursing Pads
You will need A LOT OF nursing pads. I tried washable ones because I loved the idea of being a little green, but they leaked because I over-produced like mad. I'm so sad because my very favorite were discontinued, but I found these that I absolutely love. Don't ever leave the house without an extra pair until you're really confident you understand how much milk your body produces.
Nursing Cover
This nursing cover completely changed my life! I went from being nervous and uncomfortable to completely confident and not worried one bit about nursing anytime, anywhere. The best part about this cover is it covers your front and back! It's soft, stretchy, machine washable, and can be used as a car seat canopy in a pinch, too. I've used and loved my Milksnob covers too and they're awesome.
Burp Cloths
Gerber Birdseye Flatfold Cloth Diapers are great for using as burp cloths around the house. A splurge that's well worth it IMO are the aden + anais burpy bibs. They are the nicest and we use them a TON. Love that they double as bibs. Great for on-the-go. My current favorite burp cloths with Bobby are these.
Breast Pumps
I'm pretty passionate about pumping because I did it almost every day for the first year of my first baby's life, I pumped for six months for Lyla, and I pumped every day for about 3 months straight with Millie since girlfriend would ONLY take her dream feed from a bottle. She knew what she liked and how she wanted it! I pumped a good amount with Harry too for 6 months, and quite a bit for Bobby because I'm a working mom and sometimes have to be away from him during a feed, or when I do something like our Friday temple dates.
Spectra Pump is my #1 choice now for an affordable, portable and hospital grade pump! I've tried Medela, Ameda and now the Spectra and by far my fave of a traditional pump is the Spectra. I love that it’s reasonably priced, love that it has a tiny night light, love that it’s not too gigantic or heavy. My only complaint is that it has a single bottle holder spot in the back, which is nice because it keeps it small but weird that there’s just one! It’s hospital grade and it was one of the top recommended new baby items that other moms told me about before I had Millie.
Willow Pump is perfect for the mom on-the-go, especially working moms or even if you just see yourself traveling or needing to pump on the go while you run kids to different appointments or anywhere where you don’t want to have to plug into a wall or have huge bottles hanging off your body and tubes coming out everywhere. The Willow Pump will turn your world upside down!!
This pump has literally been a complete and total GAME CHANGER for me. I can pump virtually anywhere, very discreetly, without having to worry about plugging in or tubes or hiding gigantic pump bottles.
Willow vs. Elvie Pump
I tried both the Willow and Elvie pump with Harry and while I think they're both good pumps, I have to say that I used my Willow pump way more. I found it easier to use, but that could be because I was already used to it from having used it so much with Millie? If the special bags are a concern to you, you can now buy reusable milk containers that can be drained right into a storage bag OR a bottle. I liked their bags personally! But this helps cut down cost and waste, and also solves the problem of having to use exactly the amount in the bag since they're not resealable.
Bottles
Comotomo bottles feel like a boob! My babies have loved these, they feel the most like a boob and real nipple so they’re supposed to cut down on nipple confusion if you’re worried about that! They also are designed so you don’t need a bottle brush to clean them out which is SO NICE. They have vents as well to help with proper digestion and to avoid colic or gassiness by reducing the amount of air they’re gulping.
First Essentials Bottles: When my babies are about a year old we start using these bottles. Lyla carried these around for EVER! You can get them for around $3 a piece and I never stressed about Lyla leaving one somewhere or having to throw one away if it was gross after not being cleaned out once she switched to formula at 6 months.
Formula
Baby Brezza Formula Pro: Speaking of formula, I switched Lyla to formula feeding at 6 months (more on that here) and we absolutely LOVED this formula bottle maker!!! It warms, mixes and dispenses the perfect amount of formula FOR YOU. One of those things I thought might be silly and unnecessary that turned out to be something we used SO MUCH that it felt like it was worth every single penny.
We gave it away after Lyla since there were 3 years between her and Millie and, funny enough, I really didnt miss it much with Millie! But I did get this cheaper version for Bobby and we've loved it for my next pro tip…
PRO TIP: I don't know why it took me until our FIFTH baby, but I realized while I was still in the hospital recovering, and one of my nurses offered to keep Bobby for his middle-of-the-night feeding and give him a bottle and bring him back after I got a solid 6 hours of sleep, that I could breastfeed my baby during the day but skip the middle-of-the-night breastfeeding and give baby formula bottles. This served a couple of purposes! FIRST, it helped our baby get used to having bottles frequently – a huge must for me since I work and have to sometimes be away from baby. Second and even more importantly, it allowed me to actually get more sleep in those first few brutal weeks where baby wants to eat every 2-3 hours. Neil and I divided and conquered – he likes going to bed early, and I'm more of a night owl. So he'd go to sleep right after our older kids went to bed, around 8:30 pm, and then I'd stay up and do a “dream feed” for Bobby around 10:30 or 11 p.m. Then when Bobby woke up around 2 or 3 a.m., Neil would get up and feed him a bottle, and then when Bobby woke up again around 4 or 5 a.m. I'd feed him next, and then we'd start the day around 7 or so. This allowed both of us to get a solid 6 hour stretch and I really think this helped me a lot with overcoming postpartum depression that I've had with some of our other babies, especially Harry in 2020.
Storage Bags
Dr. Brown's Breastmilk Storage Bags are a little more expensive than the most popular milk storage bags, but they're more sturdy and less likely to tip over and spill! I felt like the extra couple dollars was well worth it and bought these over and over.
Bottle Cleaner & Stand
OXO Tot Bottle Brush with Nipple Cleaner and Stand: The best bottle brush ever. I read up on my reviews and this one lives up to the hype. I bought it in pink because I'm obnoxious like that. Gender neutral, what's that? ha.
*And then our 4th AND 5th were boys, and the joke was on me. Literally.
Bottle Warmer
We bought a bottle warmer and hated it. If you're going to breast feed and pump, I suggest just running the pumped milk under hot water (refrigerated or frozen). It's easy, quick, and will never be too hot for your baby.
I even tried ANOTHER with Harry thinking surely they've gotten so much better. I bought the highest rated one and hated it too. Go figure.
Pacifiers & Clips
Philips AVENT Soothie Pacifier: These are the pacifiers most hospitals use, but my babies have never taken them super well. My advice with pacifiers, if you're hoping your baby will take one, is to buy a bunch of different kinds and just see what they like!
BIBS Pacifiers: these were hands-down Harry's favorites, and now Bobby's fave too. Both my boys wouldn't take any other binky but these, and they've been a MUST for every nap and nighttime sleep. We actually ended up taking them away from Harry at about 20 months. I dreaded taking away his beloved paci but we gave him a teddy bear to sleep with instead and he was over it in a couple days! I'll probably do this a little sooner (18ish months) with Bobby.
Wubbanub: I remember seeing people whose kids had these in their mouths and thinking “those things are hideous and my kid will never use one of those.” Yeah, I ate my words. They are the bomb when your baby can't keep the bink in their mouth. The little stuffed animal has just enough weight to help hold the binkie in, and it will help them with grabbing onto something to get it back in their mouth on their own, too.
Nursing Pillow
Boppy Best Latch Pillow: I've been a huge fan of Boppy brand nursing pillows since having my first, but I tried out this best latch version with Harry and it was my fave for him. Funny enough, I bought a new super cozy, neutral cover for our tried-and-true old school boppy for Bobby and have used that the most this time around.
Read ALL MY TIPS on breasfeeding, pumping, and bottle feeding in this post!
Baby Food Feeding
Highchairs
Just keep in mind, you will not use this until your baby is at least 4-6 months old, and most babies are closer to 5 or 6 months before you start feeding them solids and need a high chair!
Boon Flair Pedestal Highchair used to be our #1 but it's since been discontinued, boo. You can sometimes find it on Facebook Marketplace though! Original retail was $275 and when I was pregnant with Anabelle, anything under $200 was a steal. A good price on FB marketplace would be anything under $100 unless it's brand new, never used.
Lalo The Chair: This is our newest fave! It looks pretty, wipes down perfectly clean just like the Boon did, and baby can comfortably sit up right really easily for meal times. Millie and Harry both loved this high chair! And it comes with shorter legs so that you can actually convert it into a shorter chair once they're done with the high chair.
Utensils
NUK Gerber Graduates Rest Easy Spoons: Our favorite baby spoons. Love the built-in support that makes putting the spoon down without having it touch the counter super easy.
Bumkins Waterproof SuperBib: These have been faves of ours since Anabelle
Silicone Bibs: These are SO awesome because they're sturdy and clean up well and catch the food that babies inevitably drop while they're eating. We LOVE THESE!
Nursery
SNOO Bassinet
Okay the SNOO is by far the COOLEST new baby invention since we had Lyla. I actually met Dr. Harvey Karp at a baby event in LA almost 9 years ago and I remember him telling me about how they were developing a smart crib that would rock your baby back to sleep for you, but they were going through crazy testing to make sure it was safe. I was SO excited to see it finally come out and try it with Millie, and have LOVED it with our last 3 babies!
The SNOO bassinet is practically like having a mother’s helper around the clock in your house…FOR REAL! It’s a smart sleeper that actually responds to your baby’s fussing and movement. So if it senses them tossing and turning or crying out, it will respond with increased rocking and white noise to soothe them! It comes with tracking capabilities on your phone, including how long their longest stretch of sleep is by the day. You can also set it to a more gentle mode if you have a preemie baby, and a weaning mode when you’re ready to wean them and move them to the crib.
It comes with swaddles that attach to the bed and keep baby on their back, so it claims to be the safest bassinet on the market. AND let’s talk about how beautiful it is! The minimalist and chic design of the SNOO looks good in every nursery.
PRO TIP: use a satin bassinet sheet like this one to protect your baby's hair from getting a bald spot. So far it's working with Bobby!!
The price is definitely up there and I don’t think for a minute it’s a necessity to getting your baby to sleep. My first two girls slept through the night JUST fine without the SNOO, so I would never want any new mom to feel like their baby isn't going to sleep if they can't afford the SNOO. But it is for sure REALLY nice to have, and when people ask me (all the time) whether it’s worth the splurge I always say, “YES! It totally is.” Because if you’re the type of person who’s considering splurging on it, and it’s reasonably within your budget, I think it’s an AMAZING help to mom and dad who could use more sleep at night.
However, if you’re just like “no way I can’t spend that much!” then the same company actually makes those same magic swaddle sacs that you can buy for $32, and add some white noise from an app on an iPad or a big box fan (from any hardware store) or a white noise maker and you’ll have something similar to the SNOO, minus the rocking that responds to your baby’s cries.
Sleep Books
Speaking of sleep, I'm pretty passionate about this topic, too, so I wrote a whole separate post all about it! But in short, if you're a new mom, or a mom who's had “bad sleepers” in the past and you want to try something new with a new baby, I highly HIGHLY recommend reading Baby Wise. I've followed these principles with all 4 of my babies and had amazing sleepers. Hint: it's ALL about the daytime schedule. And no, I haven't had to make any of them “cry it out.” Just read the book! 🙂
NEW with Bobby – I was struggling to figure out the perfect schedule for Bobby that coincided with Baby Wise, and right around that same time (8ish weeks) I saw TWO people in the same week mention this book Moms On Call and that their schedules were a life-saver. It's not for everyone – it's very regimented – but it's been a game changer for me this time to have an even better spelled-out schedule, written by 2 nurses, to help Bobby regulate his sleep. He started sleeping 11-12 hours immediately after I switched to this schedule! BONUS: it's way quicker to read and easier to digest than Baby Wise.
Here’s my post all about baby sleep tricks if you’re interested in a deeper dive on that convo.
Cribs
Here are a few of my favorite cribs!
- Jenny Lind Crib: Charming and timeless.
- Stokke Sleepi Crib: This is such high quality and I love that you can change up the size and even make it into a toddler bed when the time comes. It goes from a bassinet to a crib to a toddler bed. Pretty sweet! This is what Harry slept in (pictured below).
- IKEA also carries very affordable cribs that are super popular and perfect if you are planning a clean, modern design for your nursery.
- I also really love these Babyletto cribs from Target! Most of them are very affordable, modern, and so cute!
Crib Mattress
Milliard Crib Mattress: A top rated crib mattress on Amazon that we got for Millie's nursery. It's affordable and had amazing reviews!
DockATot
The DockATot is for sure one of my top 3 favorite new things we got for Millie and have continued to use it a ton with Harry and Bobby (and our other kids haha). This thing is incredible! We use it for lounging and tummy time and I honestly don’t know how we’d live without it. It’s the perfect place for babies to snuggle up after they eat and I loved it during recovery from my c-section because I could set the baby right next to me. We’ve brought it from room to room in the house and even to the beach! It also creates the perfect “safe zone” for the baby when big sisters are playing or wanting to snuggle on the bed. Baby is just as cozy as can be in this comfy little lounger, and I love that it’s lightweight enough that I can move it around the house.
Changing Table
Changing table: We actually bought a used changing table that had been refinished from a local craigslist-like site (KSL) for Anabelle, but you can use any dresser that you have or find one at a thrift store and paint it, put a changing pad and cover on top, and voila. You have a changing table.
I was going for a more modern look for Lyla's nursery so I bought a West Elm dresser that I knew we could transition into a big girl room eventually or use in almost any room in our house later if we needed to switch things up! We got this pretty one for Millie's room, which we then used in Harry's room.
Rocking Chair
Pottery Barn Kids Comfort Swivel Glider: This glider is one of my favorite purchases because I spent so many hours nursing our baby in it, and it's so comfy I could fall asleep in it. I actually still used this four babies later, in our bedroom, for early morning, late night, and every hour in between feedings!
I dreamed about getting a Nurseryworks Rocker with all 3 of my girls and finally got one for Millie's (and then Harry's) nursery and I'm still using it for Bobby! It's actually made ergonomically to be SO comfy and I loved the hours I've spent nursing my babies, and reading stories to them, in it.

Harry's nursery details
Baby Monitor
This Hello Baby monitor is one of the highest-rated AND one of the most affordable baby monitors! I tried it out just so I could know if it was good enough to recommend and my answer is YES 1000%. It has amazing range, clear picture and sound, and I can keep an eye on the baby when I'm outside or on the other side of the house while they are napping. ALSO if it's a big deal to you to have a monitor that does NOT require wifi, this one is perfect for you. No need to connect it to any kind of network when you travel.
We love our Vivint system cameras too as baby monitors and I LOVE that when I'm out and about I can still check on my baby from an app on my phone, anywhere.
I know a ton of people who SWEAR by the Wyze cam, which I would probably get if we didn't have Vivint Cams!
White Noise
You can use a box fan or a white noise maker, but most baby sleep experts agree that white noise is essential to getting babies good naps and to sleep through the night!
Since Harry was born, this is my new fave white noise maker. Actually all my kids now sleep with either that one, or this less-expensive version that also plays meditations. Works so well, so many options, controllable by your smartphone. The reviews didn't lie when they raved and so now I guess I'm gushing too.
Travel cribs
Sometimes referred to as “pack n plays” (kind of like all tissues are now kleenex) a travel crib is a GREAT thing to have if you plan to leave home before your kid is, oh, 3? Ha. Or if they're going to take a nap at someone else's house. A lot of places do have travel cribs for you, hotels and a lot of Airbnbs! But we get a ton of use out of ours. Here are our faves:
- BABYBJORN Travel Crib Light: I cannot say enough good things about this amazing travel crib. SUPER lightweight, super easy to install (you literally pop the legs out and that's it. Takes me 10 seconds).
- 4moms BREEZE: Literally a breeze to set up! I mean it seriously just pops into place in 2 seconds flat. A little heavy though, which is why I also list the BabyBjorn travel crib above. But if you want the functionality of a play-yard too, the 4moms BREEZE is for sure what you want!!
- Lotus Travel Crib: This is a really good in-between version too that my sister owns and loves! She literally lived on the road for a year and a half with her baby and took this everywhere and loved it.
- Baby Joy Crib: We bought this a couple years ago for the BEACH ONLY (sounds crazy maybe!) but we wanted something crazy lightweight to lug down to the beach since our BabyBjorn travel light was (and still is!) in Utah at my mom's house. For just over $100 this crib is LEGIT. Doesn't pop together in 2 seconds like the first two faves on our list, but if you're willing to take 10 mins to put it together it's a real winner.
Strollers & Carriers
Best double strollers
Double strollers can be big ticket items – but WORTH IT. We've had the City Select Stroller through all our babies and LOVED it. Single that converts into a double, babies can face 16 different ways, travel system, the gold standard for many years. It glides like a dream and grows with your family from a single to a double and back to a single if your older kiddo grows out of sitting in a stroller, and you can even add a kickboard for an older child to stand on. GENIUS! I have recommended this stroller more than ANY other stroller because of its versatility and relatively affordability for what your'e getting, and it's one of my favorites to find AMAZING deals on for my readers so make sure you're following the blog for ALL the stroller deals I find!
We have this UppaBaby Vista stroller too, after many many years of people asking me to compare it to the City Select and I have to say I do REALLY love it. It's very similar in my opinion to the City Select, and a lot harder to find on sale, whereas I'm pretty confident I can find my reader a killer deal on a City Select if she's reading my blog during her entire pregnancy.
The heftier price tag on the UppaBaby though, if you’re up for it, really is worth the extra pennies. Now that we’ve had 5 kids and our last 2 were the closest together we’ve had any of them, we’ve used our Vista more than any other. I love that the undercarriage basket is GINORMOUS!! The bassinet is SO nice when you have a newborn who needs a nap while you’re at an older sibling’s sporting event, or walking around at Disneyland, or on a long walk. I also recently used it at a work conference to take Bobby to and he napped like a champ in the bassinet all day. I love using the Nuna Pipa Lite in this stroller with this adapter. It just glides in like butter.
Best jogging stroller
The BOB Revolution Jogging Stroller is the very most popular jogging stroller on the market. If you are a jogger, this is a must-have. We own this and lovelovelove it too. Neil has taken our girls out on so many beach trail runs in the BOB and now in our Double BOB. They're so durable and great for families that are active or parents who want to be able to run with their babies.
Best lightweight or travel strollers
In my opinion, the Baby Jogger City Tour Lux is the very best budget-friendly travel stroller out there. Lightweight, patented one-hand quick fold, huge canopy, decent undercarriage basket, sometimes called the cadillac of umbrella strollers (even though it's not truly an umbrella, it's cooler).
If you can spring for the City Mini GT version (in a single or double, whatever you need) DO IT because the wheels and weight, and overall experience of the GT is amazing.
But if budget is what you're after, the Baby Jogger City Tour Lux is where it's at. My sister has taken her first AND second baby to Europe for the summer and swears by this stroller as the best for travel!
Our most favorite option after 4 kids for a lightweight travel stroller is the BabyZen Yoyo. It's insanely compact and lightweight and handles hairpin turns like a champ. Neil and I both LOVE this stroller. The price tag isn't awesome but if you're going to use it a ton it's worth it!
Stroller Organizer / parent console
Skiphop Universal Stroller Organizer: definitely one of the nicest and best I've tried, and totally worth $26 IMO.
Diono Buggy Buddy Stroller Organizer: Another great option because it's $11.99 and works with almost EVERY stroller out there.
Ergobaby Carrier
Ergobaby Carrier: I love my ergo SOOOO MUCH. If you ever run into me at Target or Costco, chances are my baby is riding in my ergo while I push the cart. Need your hands for something? Making dinner? Getting ready? You will want one of these.
Solly Baby Wrap
Solly Baby Wrap: I didn't have this with Anabelle and it's for sure the #1 item I wish I could've gone back and given myself as a new mom. Now that I've had it for my second, third, fourth and fifth babies, I can't imagine doing the newborn stage without the Solly baby wrap! It's an absolute MUST HAVE for infants and mamas who need to be hands-free. I love it for airplane travel, trips to the beach, walking around the mall, doing housework (on the rare occasion that I get around to that!), walks around our neighborhood, and just about everything else. Really.
Diaper Bag
Since this original post was written, I've tried out many, many diaper bags and have found that my very favorite ones, especially for several kids/babies now, are these 3: my Fawn Design bag, my JuJuBe bag, and my Freshly Picked bag.
All 3 of these are huge enough to fit everything I need, anywhere I go, with four kids. It's nice enough to go with me to a nice dinner or to a casual park date and cleans up like a dream. Neil loves both of these bags too and never leaves the house with a kid without one of them locked and loaded!
I would say that Fawn and Freshly Picked are pretty similar in function, it's more of a preference of look between the two. JuJuBe for sure makes the lightest bags of all 3 (this one is ESPECIALLY lightweight and my pick for the beach!) and since you can throw theirs in the wash, they're probably the easiest to keep clean.
I love that they wipe clean so easily too since they're either faux leather (Fawn and FP) or polyester and machine washable (JuJuBe). And all come with a laptop sleeve!!
Other Baby Gear
- Car Seat Mirror: You don't necessarily need this brand, but you'll love being able to look at the mirror and see if your babe's okay on the road.
- 4Moms Mamaroo: Oh how we cherished our Mamaroo! It was the only way I got an hour or two of sleep when Anabelle was just a few weeks old. She napped and slept so well in it. It rocks like a mom, has multiple modes, it's a swing and bouncer in one. It even has a car-ride mode. I seriously have an emotional attachment to that thing, and ALL 4 of my first 4 loved it! One of my older kids sat in it and broke it before we had Bobby, so I've tried a couple other cheaper swings and he hates them. Hard to say if he just hates swings in general or if he would have liked the Mamaroo, but 4/4 babies I tried it with loved it.
- Play Mat: Your baby will play under this and love it more than you realize when you buy it at first. I thought it was a gimmicky waste of money, but we used it for months and months. Helped Anabelle learn to roll over and was one of the first things she loved and interacted with. I bought this less expensive (but super cute!) rainbow version for Bobby and love it.
- Baby Shusher White Noise Maker: Yes you can download an app on your phone and stick that next to your baby in her car seat if she starts crying while you're at the mall/Target/church etc, BUT then you don't have your phone. Which presents a problem if your phone text alert goes off and you have to remove said white noise. Or if you need to call someone, or look something up, or kill time on Instagram. Let's be honest. This little thing is SO GENIUS for a lightweight, easy to throw in your diaper bag, little perfect white noise maker on the go.
NEWER fave: I tried this portable white noise maker for my recent work conference and LOVED the shushing noise while I got Bobby to sleep in the Uppababy bassinet during the day, and then changed it to just the solid white noise for the night. It worked wonders!!
New Mom FAQ
- Is a swing worth it? Okay listen – all you NEED is diapers and wipes, a car seat, some onesies and a safe place for baby to sleep. But will you love having something to rock baby to sleep while you _____ (shower, wash dishes, make dinner or just give your arms a break)? The answer is, yes…unless your baby is like Bobby. My other 4 have loved the swing! Bobby hates the 2 I've tried with him. So it may just depend on your baby. But 4/5 of mine loved the swing.
- Best baby bouncer? My first 4 kids loved the 4MOMS Mamaroo. I've read in some reviews and mom forums that their babies didn't though, which I experienced with Bobby, except he has hated every swing.
- What will babies ACTUALLY wear? How many sizes of each should I get? Babies grow FAST, but they also go through TONS of clothes per day and week. My babies averaged at least a couple outfits a day the first 2-3 months. Then it slows down, their growth and need for different outfits based on blowouts and barf. Footie pajamas, especially those that zip from both the top and bottom, like these, are your friend. Start with a few newborn size outfits and a good handful (12 at least) of outfits and jammies and onesies (depending on the season) in 0-3 and just see how fast your baby grows. Mine are out of newborn by 5-7 weeks old, then they stay pretty consistent with the sizes marked on the clothes for the first year!
- Sleep Sack vs. Swaddle? Swaddles are (in my opinion!) a must for that first 4 months! Your baby will sleep soooooo much better swaddled. Then when they start rolling on their own, it's time to switch to a sleep sack. These are good budget buys, and this one is my very fave.
- Best dresser drawer organizers? Something soft like this works great!!
- How to sleep train your baby? That's a whole separate blog post, my friend, which you can read here. But the basics are swaddling, white noise, blackout curtains, and the daytime schedule sets up the nighttime schedule. Consistency is everything.
- Are blackout curtains necessary? YES. For me, yes. Some people say no because they want their baby to sleep “anywhere.” I say I'd rather have an amazing sleeper at home than worry about the 7% of the time we're not putting them to bed at home!
- Snacks to have on hand Postpartum? My faves were these trail mix small bags, Boom Chicka Pop, CSE Protein Shakes, Trader Joe's Mini Cheese Sandwich Crackers, G2G bars (they taste like cookie dough!), and CSE protein bites – my sis Brooke came into town and made some of these and it was the gift that literally kept on giving for weeks after she left, and I felt so loved every time I ate one out of the freezer!
- DockATot vs. SnuggleMe Organic? I've only used the DockATot but I know tons of people love the SnuggleMe!
- How do you swaddle a baby? Ohhh I love this question! I have a reel here that shows my favorite way to swaddle – even the strongest babies can't break out of this swaddle!
View this post on Instagram
- Best brand of diapers and wipes? See the above section on diapers, but our fave are Honest diapers! For wipes, my fave are Pampers Pure and I always order extra to have around because we can never keep wipes stocked here it seems!
- Newborn baby toiletry must-haves? Diapers, wipes, Aquaphor baby, Tubby Todd wash, Tubby Todd all over ointment. That's really it!
- Should I get a single stroller if I plan on having more kids? I knew we wanted more than one, which is why the City Select was at the top of my wishlist. If you're in the same boat, a City Select or Uppa Baby Vista is a SUPER smart choice, and, BONUS! They hold their resale value really well too!
Are you still with me?

FTM here and this is so helpful and thorough! Thank you so much!
FTM here and this is so helpful and thorough! Thank you so much for all of this information!
Wow this has been so helpful! I’m so excited to look into the white noise maker and swaddles as this is our first baby and we are trying to figure out what works best for us!
The Solly swaddle is my favorite!!
The best baby register❤ i loved and recomend it for everyone. thank you for making our lives easier.
I have 2 kids now and followed this blog and it was so helpful!! Thank you!!
The amazon belly band has been AMAZING! Seriously wear it with everything!
Hospital must-haves! I needed that. Even after a few babes I always get flustered at what I should bring. So helpful!
I found out I was expecting in October and have scoured your blog every day since. In fact, this registry is one of the three most visited sites on my phone. Thank you for taking the time time to do this. The categories are so helpful and it’s allowed me to go through them bit by bit to start collecting the things I’ll need. It’s one of the things I’ve been most grateful for during pregnancy.
This is so great!! Thank you!
This was so helpful! I am pregnant with my first and this helps me know what I actually need to buy! Makes me even more excited. Thanks!
So many valuable tips and tricks here ! I appreciate things like this being shared. Soon to be first time mama here and as someone who loves lists and being prepared, definitely going to consider lots of things here that my baby girl may need. She’ll be here in just a few weeks and couldn’t be more excited. Thank you for sharing, and will be adding a few more items to my Amazon registry thanks to this.
This list is so helpful!
This list is so well thought out!! Thank you! I’m going to be so prepared!
Some of the best information!!! Like a refresher course for baby #2!
As a mom to be I agree, oil for stretch marks is a must! And Once baby girl gets her (May 30 is our due date! ♥️) I have a feeling a good sound machine is going to be our best friend.
LOVE this list! Couldn’t live without my solly wrap!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
So helpful. Agreed!
I agree! This is such a great list! I especially love Tubby Todd! Used it with my first and plan to continue with my second!
corrine my eyes are bleeding! this is quite an amazing list, no wonder if took forever to produce.. i definitely would've found this helpful when i was pregnant with my little guy – lots of great picks! my ergo is my lifesaver, too… my guy loves music too and that baby einstein take along tunes thing sounds pretty darn good. going to check it out… ^__^
the baby einstein toy is amazing! best $8 i've ever spent on a baby toy. i am hoping it's helpful for a lot of people! 🙂
I really enjoyed reading this list. I’m expecting baby #2 and had my mind set on so many products and brands that I had already used with my daughter, but this helped me be more open to try some of the products that you mentioned. Now I have to go and update my baby registry haha. Thanks for this!!
awesome! Now I just need to have a baby. Oh wait.
haha. mom. 🙂
Love!
Best registry ever!
Thank you! This list gives me confidence in being a prepared mom 🙂 thank you for putting it together to help us new moms.
thanks for your sweet comment dianne! i am so glad it's helpful 🙂
This is the BEST registry list ever. When i was A first time mom this is the list I was searching for. I will Defiantly be pointing all my mom to be friends to this. There are so many products out there it’s good to have someone point you in the right direction and give you some insight. Thank you for this!
Same here! I felt like having a very detailed list gave a great idea of how to embrace being a mom!
Seriously though, this list is amazing!!! The best list out there and I love that it's all specifics!! Great job girl!!! I am pinning this in hopes that everyone sees this!!!
sadie, YOU are amazing! so lucky to call you my friend. xo
This list is so helpful to every mom in every stage! My favorite item from the list that I have is the fawn design diaper bag. It holds everything & more that I need, which helps me always feel prepared to take care of my baby wherever we are.
I just went through my baby registry again and added almost everything you recommended! Thank you so much! It made it soo much easier..you thought of things I had no idea existed!
ashley, i'm so glad it was helpful! 🙂
great list! i've been so tired of baby registry lists on pinterest/blogs that only have really expensive stuff! there are two things we splurged on that i definitely felt were worth it – a BOB double jogging stroller and a PPB diaper bag (on sale, of course! 🙂
i wholeheartedly agree! a great stroller and diaper bag are two totally splurge-worthy items 🙂
Terrific List! Off-Topic question, where did you get the pink dress in the top picture? I must have it!
mandy i'm so glad this was helpful for you! the dress is from nordstrom rack 🙂
Love the dress! Do you know who the designer/brand is? It’s no longer available from Nordstrom Rack.
hey erika! i was able to find a website selling the same dress, just a different color 😀
I literally just spent hours pouring over your list and updating/changing my registry. Thank you SO much for being a lifesaver!
sarah i'm so glad it was helpful to you!!
Thank you so so so much for putting this list together! It is one of the most comprehensive and helpful lists I have come across!
All carseats have to meet the same federal standards to be sold. It doesn't matter that a company claims to put their seats through more stringent testing because there is nothing to compare it to. For all we know every single seat on the market could pass those same tests. The best carseat is the one that fits your baby and your car. So don't feel bad if you can't afford the
I'm not pregnant (heck, I'm not even married) but I've already pinned this post for future reference! When that day comes, I will be SO prepared thanks to you!!<br /><br />Danielle at <a href="http://www.framedfrosting.com/" rel="nofollow">Framed Frosting</a>
haha danielle! you are so sweet. thanks and when you do have a little one on the way someday we can nerd out about baby gear together 🙂
This is amazing and so helpful! I’m going to be a first time mom so I have a lot to learn. I appreciate you taking the time to write this up and include links! Thank you!
thanks so much nicole! i’m so glad it was helpful and congrats on your pregnancy! motherhood is the best thing i’ve ever experienced and i’m so excited for you 🙂
Most comprehensive list out there! Thank you for taking the time to put this together and share it with us mommas!
Wow, this is seriously a life saving list! I have been looking at this multiple times a week and have made some really great purchases. We’re getting ready to meet our little guy soon and I’m so thankful that you shared all of this helpful information. Thank you for sharing!
thanks so much renee, i’m so glad it was helpful! good luck meeting your new baby, it’s truly the most magical thing in the world! 🙂
this is by far the best list i have run into. i’m a second time mom, but still needed to “double check” my list. lol! very adorable baby by the way!!
thanks!
thank you so much! i’m so glad it was helpful!
I’m in love with this list!! I am 8 weeks as of now and I was feeling very overwhelmed about everything that came with creating a registry, but I’m curious with all these items being at such different locations…Where exactly did you register at?? Do you recommend a place like Amazon or a store that might carry most of these items?? Thanks!!
jessica that’s a GREAT question! i need to address that on this post so i’m so glad you brought it up. i did an amazon registry and loved it. it made returns and tracking what i did/didnt still need SO easy. i highly recommend it!
Hi there!
Would you be willing to do a product review on our Rip n Go baby or junior lines? We are a new Canadian company, and we invented 100% waterproof detachable bed sheets for babies, toddlers and adult ! We are Eco friendly, which mean our product can be washed and reused. Please email me at Marissa@ripngo.ca if you are interested.
Love this list! This is my second pregnancy and I keep referring back to it! 🙂 I missed so much with my first! Okay so random question- on the side of your blog it has a slideshow of random pictures, and there’s the cutest little white blanket basket thing with gold polka dots that your newborn was in for pictures- where did you get that?! So cute!
hi lauren! the slideshow is from my instagram 🙂 and the gold polka dot blanket & headband are from miss j handmade but she has her shop closed temporarily 🙁 here’s the link so you can bookmark it and check back to see when she repoens: http://www.missjhandmade.com/
Love your registry! I am going to be a 1st time mom in August and have no clue what I’m doing. Is your Maxi Cosi car seat compatible with the City Jogger? I can’t tell from the City Jogger website if they have an adapter for Maxi Cosi.
awesome list. i just wish that you would have the links open in a new tab… i kept going to a website and purchasing the items you suggested, but then had to navigate back to your site somehow
natalie thanks so much for letting me know! i usually make it so the links open up in new pages but today i forgot to do that. i’m going back and fixing that right now. thanks again for commenting and for your readership! 🙂
Hi Corrine! Do you have any recommendations for pregnancy books?!
hey chanel! yes i do – i will add those to the list! thanks so much for asking this! i don’t know why i didn’t do this sooner! 😀
This list saved me time and allowed me to breathe and stay sane! My husband and I are expecting our first child in October and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the time you took to put this together!!!!! I feel so much better now that I have some info! And the descriptions you gave and the reasons behind why you put them on your list were super helpful! Thanks so much!!!!
jessica i’m so happy this was helpful! congratulations too – i had my baby in october and i think october babies are the best 🙂
Thanks for finally writing about > the BEST baby registry list ever!
< Loved it!
thank you!
Thank you for this list!!! SO helpful in so many ways!!!
karrie i’m so happy to hear it’s helpful!! 😀 xoxo
I have been so lost on what to add to my baby registry until I found this. Seriously! This is amazing! So many things I would’ve never thought of and such great brand recommendations! Thank you!!
you are welcome! i’m so happy to hear it was helpful 😀
Thank you for this labor of love. Incredible list!
thanks for reading jen! XO
I love this list! Our first baby is due in November and I have been on bedrest my entire pregnancy. I have done exactly zero shopping. Now I know where to start.
i’m so glad it’s helpful! and congratulations on your pregnancy! 😀
Thank you so much! I’m gonna be starting my own family in about a month or so and I’m trying to be the mom that reads up and is prepared but I kept getting so upset by most posts out there for baby registry lists. I’m a nurse and I would get irritated when mom’s would put stupid advice that it would ruin anything I liked about their post. For example I’ve been really stuck about what kind of monitor I want. My sister in law says go simple my mother in law says get video it’s cool to be able to see your baby. And your list has helped out cause a lot of blogs out there say this monitor saved my babies life when they got smothered by their big fluffy blanket IMO as as nurse newborns shouldn’t be sleeping with big fluffy blankets so I felt the advice was useless. Not to bag on other moms that’s not the point lol I’m just trying to say thank you for putting together as list of stuff that makes sense and doing all the research it makes me feel confident in using your list for my registry!
thanks so much anne for the thoughtful and sweet response! i’m so glad this was helpful for you and congratulations on your pregnancy!! XOXO
I am preparing for a surprise baby! I just became an auntie a few days ago and recently found out I was expecting. The first thing I did when I found out was read all of your baby blogs and create my registry. I have truly enjoyed reading your blog. You have given helpful insight and have made this new adventure much more bearable. I appreciate it very much! And am looking forward to using these products in the future!!!!
We just had Baby #4 & I bought new everything. I totally agree with everything on your list BUT I had this Peg Pegero carseat for Baby #3. I thought it was great. Then I bought an Orbit carseat for Baby #4. I LOVE IT! In fact, I had a problem with the Orbit handle. I used my Peg Pegero while they fix it. (Orbit actually sent me a newer mode for free in 2 days because of the problem. They were great to work with). During those few days, I really realized how much I love the Orbit. It’s so easy to get in and out of the car and easy to use with the stroller. Baby can face all directions. The handle is fabric so it doesn’t hurt your arm when you carry it. Love it! Just wanted to let all the moms out there know about it.
that’s awesome michelle! my sister in law has the orbit and really loves it too. i should add it to my list! 😀
The BEST registry items all in one place! Thank you ❤
Great list! I’m so glad I found it, my little guy is almost ready for a conversion car seat. Two items that we use and love are the Kiinde Kozi bottle warmer and Ubbi diaper pail. The Kiinde has a timer and then drains water into the resivour so the bottle never over heats, it works for bottles or breast milk bags. The Ubbi is a modern metal diaper pail that uses regular garbage bags and we’ve never had an issue with stinky diapers.
Just wanted to share a few of my favorite items!
those are awesome suggestions!! thanks so much danielle! XO
This list of awesome! Is great to have a solid starting place in a time that can be so overwhelming! 🙂
Hi Corrine,
I love the pink ruffled shirt you are wearing at the top (side profile with turquoise pants)! Can I ask where you got it? Thanks! And great job on this list!
thanks so much jenny! the pink ruffle top is actually a little ruffle vest that i bought at H&M a few years ago. 😀
I just spent a few hours updating my registry and I want to thank you so much for posting this. I cross-checked your suggestions with Amazon reviews and in most cases your suggestions led me to better and more affordable products than what I had registered for. I’m a first-time mom with limited space, and this will probably be our only baby – this list is awesome. Thank you again.
thank you so much for the sweet comment sasha! and congratulations on your first baby!! XO
This is such an awesome list Corrine…. So helpful for a lost first time mom! This has helped me so much in putting together my registry!
Do you have any suggestions on Nursing gowns/tops/robes/zippers ? How many and what all should be on our shopping list. I’m not sure what would be most useful.. I’m due in Jan and it’s going to be cold in California..
thank you so much neha! i don’t have any strong suggestions for nursing robes/tops/zippers. i wore a lot of button-downs and things that i could pull down when i nursed. i will have to keep an eye out for anything awesome to add to this list though!
Hi Corrine!
To say that I adore this list would be an understatement. I’m expecting my 1st child (baby boy, estimated due date Christmas Day) and this list is such a life saver in planning for his arrival. I’m SUCH a planner, and this list makes me feel so much more prepared!! I will for sure share it with all of my Centering girls and any future expecting friends!
Love your blog!!
Megan XO
yay congrats on your baby! and so glad ot hear this was helpful! XOXO
I was really excited to find this list! .. Until I realized I CANT EFFIN READ IT because all the important info is listed in light mint green.
so sorry to disappoint you. i’ve had my blog like this for over a year and have never had anyone complain.
Thanks for the list! I have bookmarked the page so I can refer to it when I start registering. The only thing I was disappointed not to see were cloth diapers, I really want to cloth diaper, but there are SO many choices out there! After seeing how many diapers my sister has bought and thrown into the landfill with her baby, I just can’t imagine disposably diapering twins.
i understand. i just didn’t feel qualified to recommend any because i didn’t use them myself! but i’m so glad the rest of the list was helpful! 😀
I am 20 weeks pregnant with my first and totally overwhelmed with starting a baby registry. THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting this together! I loved reading your comments and the links to Amazon were super easy to help me quickly set up my registry. I love you. You are a saint.
oh thanks so much lynda, i’m so happy to hear it was helpful! and congrats on your first baby!!! it’s the very most wonderful thing ever! XO
Awesome list thank you so much!
Corrine, how has the mattress you bought held up after two years? My mom is telling me that I need to buy one that costs at least $100 to be good quality. I’ve never done this before and don’t believe price always equals the best quality, plus it’s a mattress so I really don’t need top of the line, but I would love to hear if it’s still working well for you. Thanks!
this us so amazing. I am a first time mom and so overwhelmed trying to get the best products. It’s like you shopped for me!
i’m so glad it was helpful angelina!! 😀
This is AMAZING!! I can only imagine how much time it took to do all of this research. I’m the first of all of my family/friends to have a baby and had NO idea what to do when it came to a registry. A friend sent me this link and I’m so glad she did!! Such a big relief!!!
thanks so much erin! it was definitely a labor of love (no pun intended ha!). i’m so glad it was helpful to you, and congrats on your pregnancy!! 😀
Thanks for the great list of recommendations! I feel much less overwhelmed now about this new parent shopping!
oh good i’m so glad!! you’re welcome, and congrats on becoming a parent! 😀
Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together! I need to get cracking on my registry but so far have felt overwhelmed with all the options. I’m finding this post SUPER helpful!
yay so glad it’s been helpful to you! 🙂
Okay, when I have a baby, I’m not even registering anywhere, I’m just going to send out this list. Okay maybe I’ll register too but that’ll be a backup. Haha
I love this list! I have three kiddos, and used to be all up on all the good gear. With my last one being five, (and most of her things were well used from the older kiddos) I sold or gave away all of it after she was out of the baby stages. We’re going for that 4th little one, and the most info on the newest goodies is super helpful. Totally starting from scratch is going to be both fun and a little crazy!
Corinne, my friend Allison Z. sent me this list last year when I was pregnant. Thank you, thank you for this list — it was so helpful when I was overwhelmed with baby purchases, and I still look at it every once and a while. One thing I wanted to tell you was that the medela instyle is a closed system as well. Nothing goes through the tubes. I was stressed to get it after your review but ordered it through my insurance company and it has been great.
oh i’m so sorry to have stressed you out! so glad to hear it worked out for you, and that this post was helpful! 🙂
Thank you for this list!! Do you recommend getting the 4Moms Mamaroo and the Rock N Play? If you have any updates, please let us know. Thank you!!! By the way, I WISH I were as cute as you prego! You’re adorable!
thanks so much kelly! i’m totally planning on updating this list ASAP, especially after i try out a few new products with the new baby 🙂 i DO love having both the mamaroo and rock n play, because they’re so different! the rock n play is so great for folding flat and throwing in your car for a trip to grandma’s or even lunch over at a friend’s house. it’s super lightweight and travels well. the mamaroo is the mother of all swings though, and with the swinging or rocking or bouncing functions it’s pretty amazing. i wish i could give you a better answer to help pick between one or the other but that’s my honest opinion!! 🙂
Life saver! Thank you!!!!
You are Darling & so is your Lil one ❤
thanks for this post! with our second baby coming soon, it’s nice to see what’s new & what works for two! we have the same motorola monitor and are debating about getting a second camera… what did you find works best? thanks!!!
we’ve continued to use our original motorola monitor but we did just get a couple new ones to try. if they end up being better i’ll update my post with new faves! 🙂
FYI there is an oxyclean baby and oxyclean free. Powder and stain remover, they are not as harsh chemicals and of course better for our skin and babies. According to the ewg or ecg website (where you put the names of products and it tells you what grade it is), oxyclean free and baby are and b and normal oxyclean is like grade f.
oh thanks so much chanel! i updated my post with the baby version 🙂
This is such a great post – thank you so much! Now that you’ve updated, was wondering if you still love the crib mattress you got? I’ve gotten comments from relatives that the mattress on my registry is too cheap and I need to spend more money. Would love your thoughts!
Safety 1st Heavenly Dreams White Crib Mattress: the #1 rated crib mattress on amazon
hey melissa! i listed that because it was the #1 rated crib mattress but honestly we have a pottery barn crib mattress that i have been very pleased with! but i don’t necessarily think it’s the end-all, be-all. it’s just one i got a good deal on when i was pregnant with my first baby several years ago. sorry i don’t have a more helpful answer!
That makes sense – it has tons of awesome reviews on Amazon so it must be great right!? Thanks for the reply. 🙂
Thank you so much!! ❤️ First time Mom over here and I’ve been looking for honest feedback and reviews on a lot of the products you covered! And learned about things I need to add to my registry! THANK YOU!! You rock!!
Thank you so, so much! I am pregnant with my first baby, have minimal clue as to what I’m doing and am just starting to tackle the registry. I feel less overwhelmed and actually more excited to register now that I’ve read your recommendation list. So many cute things! 🙂 Thank you!!!
yay stephanie! i’m so glad this was helpful. congrats on your pregnancy!!!
Hey Corrine! I was just wondering where you got the onesie and the bow Lyla is wearing in your picture above where you guys are in the hospital? Thanks!
hi kelsie! lyla’s onesie was from gap and her bow was from bloomies handmade.
We just found out were expecting a girl, not sure if you have a favorite place to find hair bows. Also don’t know if you’ve heard of the puj bath tub and would recommend that over your euro bath like you mentioned??
HI!
This list has been an incredible life saver! I am 3 months along with my first and was totally overwhelmed by making decisions – thank you thank you!
Now that you have published and updated this list, are there any other items that haven’t made this cut that you still deem useful? I won’t have the advantage of knowing much before having my first, but I’d love to know if you have any additional thoughts – thank you so much!
I had a question about the belly bandit, do you think it’s better using one of those over compression panties?
hey natashya! i tried multiple products including compression panties and nothing worked for me as well as the belly bandit!
This is amazing! And was obviously time consuming on your part! Thank you!
Aw thanks so much Mary!
This is really really helpful- thank you so much!!
Welcome! Glad I could help!
On my third child and I totally agree with a lot of these reviews. It’s been six years since my last baby though, so this is a great reminder of things I still need! Lol!
I love mebie swaddles and baby Frida’s baby wind! Lifesaver for a gassy baby!
I’m about to have my first baby and love all these ideas! I’m so nervous about sleep schedules and all that! I hope the book you recommended helps!
Such a great list. My favorite is the 4moms mamaroo. Been wanting to try it with baby #3 coming in just four weeks.
Favorite item on the list is hands down Tubby Todd!!!
We love their products and we are so grateful to have stumbled on them.
Love the Fawn and Solly! There are a lot of products I still need to try! Baby boy should be here any day!
I love Target diapers!
The Snoo is amazing!!
Love seeing all your favorites! So much changes every year when it comes to baby gadgets! Thanks for all the 411 on the newest items! My all time favorite is the 4Moms mamaroo. I love putting my babies in it and listening to the sounds myself. Ha
This is awesome ! My favorite thing is the baby snoo 😍
If I had to pick a fav…. it would be the doc a tot!!!!!! I feel like it would be a life saver.
Tubby todd works miracles!
I would have to say the snoo bassinet seems so awesome !!!
I loved the original best baby registry list for my first born back in 2012 and now this updated one is amazing, for my baby girl due December 1st. I loved the fisher price rock n play and can’t wait to try so many of the new products listed above. Thanks for taking the time to help all the mamas out!
I Hope to try the 4moms mamaroo this time around! My best friend had one with my second and she loved it but she was almost to big when I discovered this! Now with number 3 I hope to try it out! I also feel like you can’t live without aquaphor!! It’s the best for so many things. You have a ton of awesome things listed on here! Can’t waig to try some this time around!
Thank you for this fantastic list!! It really is the list of ALL baby lists! I’ve had three babies and still so many things I haven’t tried and are now on my wish list for baby #4! The top of my list is the Snoo and the DockAtot.
UPPAbaby vista and owelet are my faves on this registry! Thanks for putting this together, it has been so helpful as i prepare to have my first child!
LOVE the micro gathre mat for all those newborn blowouts!
This is an incredible list!!! I am excited to learn from all this and thank you for your time and knowledge you shared to make it easier for me as I prepare for my first baby! My favorite thing is the Willow Pump-seems to be lots of pros!! THANKS!
LOVE our gathre micro mat for all those newborn blowouts!
Ahhh thank you so much! After almost 4 years and 2 miscarriages we are finally adding a 3rd baby to our family. I feel so out of the loop with everything that has changed baby wise! This list is amazing
Haha wow! Pregnancy brain is real! I meant to put with my first born in 2015 haha I got married in 2012. 🤪
Thanks for putting this together! I’ve been dying to try out the Dockatot!
Love this list so much. My first pregnancy I used the Mother’s Special Oil and I only had stretch marks on places I didn’t use it! Obsessed. Thanks for all the recommendations!
So excited! I never win anything but I figure I have a better chance with this than the lottery! 😂
So happy I found your blog! I have been looking EVERYWHERE for good nursing pads! I have to stick a burp cloth in my bra while I’m nursing on the other boob! That’s how bad I leak! So I’m super excited to try the ones you mentioned!! Just added them to my amazon cart!
I have never heard to the Willow before, but now I feel like I need one. I am a nurse and am so concerned about pumping when I go back to work, but I feel like the Willow would make it so easy to pump even if I’m having a crazy day!
Congrats on your girls. I loved this post! Such good info!! I’d love to win the snoo! We’re wxpecting in May. A sleeping baby would be perfect !
My must have item for all three of my babies was the SollyBaby wrap! You get the closeness of holding your baby but it frees up your hands to get things done around the house or play with the other little ones. I have three in three years so the SollyBaby wrap was a life saver!!
i love this entire list! thank you so much for putting this all together. i’m due in February & have started putting my registry together. this is a lifesaver!
This is so nice! I’ve moved so many times I couldn’t keep a lot of my baby stuff for my two boys. This makes me so excited to have another one someday (hopefully a girl)! I cant Wait to maybe purchase the dockatot! Really though such a great list to Go back to for my next one!
The happiest baby is my favorite from your list!! Here’s to hoping we win!!! ♥️♥️ So hard to pick just one thing ahhh!!!
Such a helpful list! I love my solly wrap- esp with the second baby 😊
Love the fawn design diaper bag! Perfect for a new mom or even use as an everyday bag if you’re not a mom!
My favorite item ever is definitely the Dockatot! Sleep with a newborn is so tricky and worth every second, the Dockatot was a life saver! Will use it with every baby!
Everything on this list looks amazing! I’m expecting my first in February and the snoo bassinet looks like a miracle worker! I’ll have to dive more into this list to see what I need!
The snoo sounds so cool!
As a first time mother-to-be, having your tried & true, honest reviews are so, so helpful. Navigating this time is so stressful, and there is SO much information out there. This guide is a huge, huge help. Thank you Corinne!
The miracle blanket saved me when my baby was born!!
The dock a tot and the loved baby Jammies!
I’m pregnant with my first so I can’t choose a favorite product yet, but I’m adding all these to my registry 😍
Love the Fawn design bag!
This is my first (due 11/30) and this list is SO helpful! I definitely added these things to my registry, especially the Dock-A-Tot!
WOW! This list is seriously amazing!! I have so much to learn and this looks like the perfect place to start! Thanks!
I’m prego with my first right now and am soooo overwhelmed with everything. THANK YOU for putting so much time and effort into this list and for being so honest about what is a necessity, what’s nice, what you didn’t end up using… It’s so incredibly helpful. I can’t wait to try the Solly wrap! That’s the first thing I thought of when I found out we were expecting haha😊 you’re so wonderful Corrine!
The willow pump is a total game changer!!
WOW! This list is seriously amazing!! I have so much to learn and this looks like the perfect place to start! Favorite item would have to be the Fawn Design.
The willow breastpump sounds like an amazing product!
This is an amazing list! I am 16 weeks pregnant with my first baby and have been lost in making a registry. Thanks for sharing! I was excited to see that the nuna pipa made the list. We just got one from Nordstrom and I can’t wait to see her cuteness in it!
Oh my goodness I don’t think I can pick a favorite. Been DYING to try the Snoo and I have heard so many good things about it! Also love the gathre mats! Due with baby boy in March!
My favorite is the fawn design bag!!
The snoo seems amazing! ❤️
Love this list!! I’m a first time mom with baby on the way so this is very helpful! It’s hard to pick just ONE favorite but I will say I love the solly baby wrap! All their wraps are so cute and I love the idea of wrapping my baby up snug to my chest 🙂
This is amazing! One thing I didn’t have and would LOVE is the snoo! That bassinet looks like a real life dream!!! Sleep is so underrated!!
So many amazing products, hard to pick the best! I would have loved to have some of these products at my house, and even more possible. I teach fourth grade and the Willow Pump would be my top pick! Every minute counts when you teach and have little ones at home. Would LOVE to have the hands-free option!
This list is amazing! I am pregnant with baby #2 and can’t wait to try so many of these! Your original list was a lifesaver when I had my first baby, particularly the mama recovery parts! (thank you mint arrow and colace! haha!) the dock a tot was probably my favorite! we loved it especially when we first brought him home, it kept him snug and safe right next to me so I could sleep while he did!
Excited to use the Spectra pump this time around 🙂 thanks for all the great tips!
Such an amazing giveaway! I welcomed our newest little a few weeks after Millie!
I’m so intrigued by the Happiest Baby bassinet! What a cool give away! Thanks for the awesome list!
How fun is this! I have followed you before you had your last baby. I have ordered some of the things you have used and love everything you suggest. I have been looking into the willow and would love it now I’m back to work!!!!! Thank you for putting this on! Hope I win!!!!
I love my solly wrap so much! It was such a life saver those first 9 months especially! I’ll know it’ll come in even more handy with baby #2 🙂
This list is really impressive! My favorite would probably be the Happiest Baby Snoo since we really struggled with getting our first babe to sleep and stay asleep when she was first born!
The jogger system and breast pump look AMAZING! I would honestly love to try all of them though. Let’s be honest.
Thanks for putting this together! My favorite is the Solly Baby wrap! I can’t wait to wear my baby around.
Wow! This is the list of all lists!! I’m on my third baby (due in Jan) and even after having 2 kids this was super helpful!
Rock and play and dock a tot are both lifesavers for those early days!
I’ve heard really good things about the comotomo bottles!
I have used your list for all my babies and so excited for an update for my upcoming! I would love to try the willow pump!
The Tubby Todd products are my favorite recommendation on the list! Great products!
What an amazing list!!! Such a great guide for a soon to be mom!
I love so many things of these things! I recently got myself a Nesting olive dress and ahhhhmazing! Thanks for all of your great recommendations!
This list is beyond amazing and helpful. Thank you for recommending the Newman’s nipple cream. I had a nightmare of an experience nursing my 3rd and was terrified to nurse my 4th. That nipple cream saved me. Thank you, thank you!
Also, Fawn design diaper bags are the best!
I’d love the willow pump!!! My second favorite item is colace 😂😉 So excited for this list!!!
I love this registry!!! Baby girl is due in January and I don’t feel prepared at all! This would be such a blessing to our family!!
I’m getting ready for my first. This list is SO helpful! I’ve heard the Snoo is LIFE CHANGING with a newborn!
Just found out we are pregnant and I cannot wait to get started with your list! THANK YOU!! And I’m super excited for the dock a tot!
Such a great list! We love our Tubby Todd!
willow breast pump
I’ve been waiting for this list. Used it so much for my first 4 years ago and an update just in time for my 3rd. Most excited about the Snoo. Anything that helps baby slee is a must!
Goodness gracious I love all of these company’s soo much! I love mebie baby & their prices and design. I seriously love everything so good! These are all incredible!
Ok so many things I registered for from this. I’ve heard those swaddles are amazing! Excited to try the bottles as well. I’m going to be a working mama so the willow pump seems like a must! Thanks so much for your help!
I’d love to try the baby wrap! I just found out I’m expecting today!!! ♥️♥️♥️
This list is PERFECT! We’re expecting in March after struggling with infertility & miscarriage! We just found out it’s a little girl and we are beside ourselves with so much joy! I love EVERYTHING on this list but would love the Snoo & also that Willow pump looks amazing! Ahhh! It’s so hard to pick just one thing! They’re all amazing.
My favorite item on the list is the Happiest Baby: Snoo & the Dockatot Deluxe !
solly baby is the best
I’m pregnant with my 3rd baby, and there’s a 6 year gap between my last child and our new baby due in Dec. I definitely think there are so many cool new baby stuff available now! My new favorite baby registry item is the dockatot!! Thank you for compiling this amazing list! You’re awesome!
Loving this updated list!!! So many things I want to get! I couldn’t live without my Ergo Carrier!!!
Wow! What an amazing list! This will be my first baby and I’m feeling clueless! Super excited to pour over this list! The snoo sounds like a must have!
We love the SNOO!!
I really love the fawn design bag, I got one for baby #3 and I can’t wait to use it. It seems so big!
Thank you for this post! I feel no matter the number there’s always something new and improved by the time a next baby comes! I personally love my Fawn Design bag! But SO many things I really hope to try! One being the willow pump and the snoo, I’ve heard great things!
The Munchkin Diaper Pail is a must in our house! Who wants their home to smell like dirty diapers!? This was the only thing that eliminated all diaper odor for us.
I love this list!!! Our second little is arriving in just a few weeks! We love the mebie swaddles too! So soft and big!
so so so hard to pick a favorite!!
I think the baby jogger city select takes the cake though!
NOW I need baby’s number 2! Love my ergo and swaddles!!
The fawn design bag is my favorite item
Such an incredible giveaway! How do you pick just one favorite item?! Baby products are my favorite!! We are welcoming baby #2 in December and this would be so perfect to win! Fingers crossed!
I have always wanted to try the dockatot! But lots of these things on the registry would be new items for me!
Just found out I’m pregnant and I love everything on your list!! The fawn design bag, the snoo, those bottles and everything else looks amazing!! Thank you thank you for this list
I love love love the rock n play! My Babies have all been good sleepers because of it!
This is AMAZING. Such a thoughtful and thorough list! Thank you!!!
This give away is SO exciting! I am pregnant with my 5th baby and feel like most of my baby items are used up and outdated. My favorite item on the list would be the baby jogger and car seat. Each item seems like such quality and so helpful. It will bless the life of whoever wins. Bless you and all involved for doing a give away!
Feels-Naptha is the ultimate baby must have 😂 I would have no clothes for my baby without it!
Honestly I would love all of these baby products! I currently have my eye on a few must have products from your list, I’m just waiting (as patiently as possible for me) to get pregnant.
Mamaroo
House dresses for when you come home from the hospital are the best!
This is an awesome list! My favorite is the Dockatot. I’ve heard a lot of great things about it and have been wanting to get one!
Bless your heart…the thought and time you took to share your advice and experience with mom’s and those to be. I am a grandma to-be and will be sending this to my newly pregnant daughter. I have so much to relearn myself after 22 years. I do love the Fawn diaper bags! So stylish yet functional at the same time!
This is amazing!! Can’t wait to check out these items. Love the blush fawn design bag.
In my 11 years of motherhood I’ve never had a diaper bag I love. The Fawn design one looks awesome!!!
I am so excited to learn more about the Snoo! My babies always have reflux and it sounds like it would be so helpful for sleeping.
This is so helpful!! My favorites from our first baby that are on the list are definitely the solly baby wrap and the Fischer price rocknplay. But I can’t wait to try some more of these suggestions for our next!!!
I have heard amazing things about that stroller!!
There’s sooo many amazing items on the list! I’d say my most desired would be a dock a tot or the city select stroller!
So many great things! Third baby due in a month and there’s so much I need to update! Going to try the belly band you recommended.
So helpful!! My babe is just 8 weeks and we could not live without our dock a tot. She finally sleeps 6+ hour a night now!!🙌🏻
Getting ready to have baby #2 and am so thankful to see this list! Saw many of my favs on here, plus I have a friend who has been following you for awhile, she’s gradually changed some of my inventory to some of your favorites and I haven’t been let down once! Can’t wait to trade out stuff from baby #1 with some of your suggestions for baby #2!
I’m pregnant with my first child and I have been clueless when it comes to my registry! Thank you for sharing your list. I really like the Baby Jogger.
Thank you for this post!! Used your initial when I was pregnant with my first and have enjoyed this update as I am pregnant with my second. Love the mother’s special blend oil. Didn’t get a single stretch mark with my first and it’s looking that way with my second. Thanks again!!
This is amazing and I’m obsessed with the Nuna Pippa and mostly everything
I love all of these things!! It makes me want a girl so badly!!! I want to try the SNOO!! My baby was so ROUGH for the first while, so that would be a game changer!!
Snuggle Me Organics- favorite baby item!!
Excited to try all the recommendations! Especially the Dock a Tot!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my baby jogger city select lux stroller! My 2 week old babe falls asleep every time we go for a walk in the stroller. I also got the nuna pipa lite lux carseat and I couldn’t be happier. It is so soft and light and I love the canopy. Thanks for the blog post, I’ve looked at it so many times. It is hard to choose just one of my favorite products from your list!
Loving this new list! So many wonderful products! I love my solly baby wraps!
Thank you for this list! I’m preparing for my 3rd son and am so excited to update my baby must haves based on your suggestions! My favorite thing with my oldest two was definitely my ergo! It’s a lifesaver to be able to be handsfree when you’ve got more than one kid running around : )
Corrine, what an awesome and thought out list for new moms. My daughter is about the have her first baby and a lot has changed in the 20+ years since I’ve had a baby! 🤪 Thank heavens for the time and effort you’ve put in to helping young mothers.!! Adore you!! Can’t wait to be a grada! Xoxo
Really want the snoo for our little one!
this list is amazing!!! Thank you so so so much for putting this list 🙏🏼❤️I am pregnant! Baby # 2 a baby girl and a i have a 3 years old boy 😍
I love our Boon high chair! It was great for a small apartment and perfect for our house. I love that it has wheels so you can move it anywhere in the kitchen/dining area with ease!
Would love to win! It all looks amazing! The willow pump would come in handy! Thank you for doing this!
Thanks so much for all your baby advice!! I am a new to be Momma next month and your blog and Instagram have helped prepare me for whatbis about to come!! I love all your pics of your sweet babygirls!
This list is amazing — the Dockatot saved my sanity with my last baby, who would only sleep in my arms the first few weeks! I’m due in a month and would be so thrilled to win these amazing items, and to give the Dockatot and more to my cousin who is also expecting!
Fawn design diaper bag is my favorite!
Loved my mamaroo with my first daughter and I can’t wait to use it with baby #2 due in December!
First off, congratulations fellow mama!! Secondly, this list is unreal. I’ve researched for endless hours on the best products to help soothe the little one, and still provide some ease on the parents. I couldn’t possibly choose between just one, but if I had to probably the mamaroo since I love the way it’s supposes to mimic the motions experienced in utero. Just hit 31 weeks, and couldn’t be more excited to meet babygirl!
My favorite baby product would have to be the Dockatot! Best invention ever
This couldn’t have come at a better time as I’m creating my registry! Dying to try the SNOO…will do anything for sleep 🙂
I’d love to try the willow! Lots of great suggestions – love the smell of noodle & boo!
As a first time mom (to be) I have never personally tried any of these items for my baby. But baby girl comes March and I am beyond happy to have this registry list to help me out! Before, I was so overwhelmed with all the bassinet options and I must say on this list the Snoo looks pretty amazing!
Your registry helped so much with my first baby and now that I’m having #3 I’m back for more tips! My favorite was probably the ergo 360. Lifesaver for grocery shopping and any errands.
LOVE my solly wrap and dawn design bag. Hope to try some of these other products- especially if I win! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Tubby Todd- hands down. They’re all over ointment has SAVED me! So many good things on this list!!! Very well done!
Such a great list! I’ve regustered for so much of this! Particularly excited for the mamaroo and dawn design bag!
I cannot wait to buy the 4moms mommaroo! I think that’ll be my favorite out of everything we have for this growing bundle of joy inside of me!
Such amazing suggestions!!! I’m really torn on my favorite item- I’d have to go with either the mamaroo or the willow pump! The mamaroo was a lifesaver with my first, but with a 1 year old and baby #2 on the way I’m thinking the willow pump is a necessity! I pumped exclusively for a year with my first, and I am certain a handsfree pump would make life so much easier with two babies!!
This was so amazing and crazy helpful! I’m 31 weeks with my first and although I have my registry pretty complete, seeing this is so helpful! Lots of things to add/change and reliable things I can buy for myself! Just reading your input on things has taken my stress level down a knotch! Thank you, thank you!
Dock A Tot are seriously LIFESAVERS!
This is a dream come true for any mom but especially being a new mom this would make everything that much better.
I am most excited about the dockatot – my baby is having a hard time sleeping and I borrowed my friends dockatot and he loved it! I am praying that I win!!!
4moms breeze
I love this list. My 4moms baby swing and Solly saved my life with my first!!
So far, my fav baby item would be the Owlet monitor!!
This list is incredible and oh so helpful! There are so many awesome things that I’ve used and plan to use with baby number two. My favorite item on the list (for selfish reasons) is the toning oil. As someone who grew up with stretchmarks on my sides from growing so fast, I thought for sure I would get them all over my stomach during my pregnancy. It worked like a charm with my first baby as I didn’t get a single stretch mark. You better believe the second I found out I was pregnant with baby number two, I ordered it again STAT!
Everything on this list looks like a must-have!!! My favorite one has gotta be the Snoo because I’ve heard it is a life saver when trying to get your baby to sleep! In turn letting the mama get sleep too.
Omg i need this so bad!!!!!!! The willow pump!!! Perfect for working moms!!! I love it, need it, pretty, pretty please!
My favorite baby item is the owlet! Helps me have a piece of mind!
Solly baby wrap 💗
Most of these products are outside of our family’s budget. So, I’d be grateful to try any. Mostly the dockotot, tho. 🤗
LOVE all of these items!
Hats to choose a favorite, but maybe Willow? Would be a game changer!
Honestly I don’t think I could pick a favorite!!! They all are my favorite! 😍😍😍
Great list! The baby jogger is a life a saver!
Love the solly wrap, ergo, city select stroller, & the comotomo bottles! Love your list & excited to check out everything!
Best thing we got was the pac n play we use it all the time and it makes life so much easier
Wow, this is the ultimate survival list! I’m unexpectedly expecting #3 which will give me three ages three and under. This list has everything I could possibly need to make this crazy time as manageable as possible. That Snoo bassinet seems like a dream come true!!
The Snoo is by far what I am most excited about! I have heard rave reviews about it and would love to try one! Everything in this registry is definitely a MUST HAVE!
So great!!
This would be such a blessing! I have 3 kids and have been trying for a very long time to have baby number 4. Well, now that my baby is almost 6 I gave most of my baby things away. Well, I am finally pregnant and I don’t own any of the necessities. I would love the amazing carseat. I never have owned a breast pump and that would be incredible! Everything, honestly, would be so exciting for me to own! I love it all! I have other ranting and raving about the fawn diaper bag and the sling carriers. Oh wow! This would be such a tender mercy! I love that yoi give back so much!!
i love the new updates to your list! Thank you for doing the footwork and sharing all your favorites with us all! My favorites from your list are the Mothers Special blend body oil (used it with my last two pregnancies!), the swaddle blankets (you really can never have enough!), and the extra long iPhone charger! I referred to this list many times prepping for our new 3rd little lady!
I love this list and direct all my friends who are having babies here! I remember the first time I saw your list I felt like I had written it because I completely agreed so now with my 3rd due in December I know I can trust your list! Also, I can’t live without that Solly wrap!
This is a great list – thank you for updating. The Snoo is my favorite product. I hope we are able to get one when our first arrives
Dockatot is on the top of my list for this second pregnancy! I sure hope it lives up to the hype!
I love the 4moms mamaroo!
This list was AMAZING! Im a mom of 2 and i still learned so much! Its so hard sorting through all that different brands of everything and it can get so stressful and overwhelming! Ill definitely use this list as we are trying for baby #3 💙
This registry is everything I’ve been checking out, especially the Willow! Love the idea of card free. Thank you so much for putting this together
I dont know how people live without a rock n play. I didnt have it on my registry (fail) but a fellow new mom got it for me anyway. It’s now my go to baby shower gift. Cant live without it for the first few months. Especially if you have older siblings and you need to quickly have a safe spot for the babe.
Even with this being baby number 2, this is so helpful to see what new things there are to use! So many helpful items!
It would be a dream to own all these items, especially the Snoo and the Willow Pump! Anything that makes a mom’s life easier is worth it! This is such a great list of all the best baby gear!!
Love the dock a tot!! And como tomo bottles!
I so needed this list! I am due with baby # 3 in April and it has been 4 years since our last baby so I have a lot of stocking up to do! I’m especially excited about the snoo!! Thanks for the recommendations ❤️
Such a thorough list!! Thank you!!
Thank you SO much for this post! Baby #2 is coming next month and i feel completely lost at what she’s gonna need besides the obvious basics! I have the Solly wrap & the comotomo bottles on my registry! I couldn’t live without my rock n play for our first babe and I’m sure it’ll be the same with our second!
I’m a new mama to be, so this is incredibly helpful! I love your tips throughout the list as much as I love seeing the products. Thanks for this!
First time momma and I’m due in January! I’m supposed to comment what my favorite item on a baby registry is, so far muslin blankets!!
I love this list and have added so much to my amazon registry! I loved the nosefrida with my son and it is a must have in my opinion.
This is truly a dream list for baby! I’m a first time mom and overwhelmed by wanting the best for baby but not always having it in the budget. Would be crazy awesome to get some of these items for our sweet little miracle baby!
I have LOVED having a Solly Wrap. It’s the gift I love to give to new moms. By far my favorite baby item.
Willow pump and dockatot
Your baby list is amazing! Definitely going to be updating my registry. My favorite thing on the list being the Happiest Baby Snoo. I wish they made an adult size in that. Lol
This list! All the heart eyes! Winning even half of this list would be an absolute dream come true. I am drooling over the thought of having a snoo, but more importantly the willow pump. I would do anything to be able to breast feed this new baby, and that pump might be my best chance.
I love the Fawn Design bags! They’re so pretty!!
I’m 17 weeks pregnant and this post was HEAVEN to read. Thank you for all the information! Xoxoxox I cannot wait for my baby to be here!
Loved reading this as baby#3 is due in just a few short weeks😬.
I love this post! I’m having a little boy in January after 3 years of trying. We have a girl who will turn 5 in January and I feel like I’m starting all over. We loved the Miracle Blanket with our first. I’m getting another one for this one!
I definitely hope to have a Willow Pump someday! Pumping can be so tough, especially when I’m at work and it requires an entire extra backpack of equipment. Definitely my favorite item on the list!
I am!! 17 weeks pregnant and I am SO happy!!!!!!! Thank you for listing everything out so perfectly!!!! Xoxoxoxoxoxozoz
Ok I don’t have a favorite item on your list because I’m a new mom (currently pregnant) but I’m dying to try the mommaroo. I’ve heard So man good things about it. Everything on your list looks so needed.
This list is awesome! My daughter is four now but planning to have another baby so this was helpful! I really like the spectra pump.
One of my favorite and most helpful blog post! So happy to see it got updated! I love the PUJ for bath time because my hips have not got back ‘into place’ yet and I don’t think I could bend over by the tub right now! And I would love to try the dolly wrap and of course the SNOO! Great post, thank you!
So many great products it’s hard to choose just one favorite! But the 4Moms Mamaroo… game changer!
I love the updated list! I’m due in a month, so this is extremely helpful for a first time mama like myself. I can’t wait to try out the dockatot – I’ve heard great things about it!
Great list! I am planning for baby 3 and there’s a lot on here I didn’t have for the first two. Heaven knows I need anything that will make life a little easier with the third.
Thank you for putting this together! We’re getting ready to meet our little girl in a few days and I am going to try a lot from your list! One item that I cannot live without is Tubby Todd EVERYTHING. Both of my boys have eczema and nothing has helped it more than their all over ointment and body wash. LOVE!
Love this thank you so much for putting this together! I love my specta pump and just ordered a few of the pacifiers that you recommended.
😍 the willow!!! 🍼
This is the best list! We are jumping back into the world of babies after 6 years! I need a whole refresh on our baby supplies! Love the car seat options.
Baby stuff can be so overwhelming! I’ve heard the snoo is magical!! I had a rough sleeper for my first one. Hopefully baby 2 will be better I don’t know if I could handle it being that rough again!!
This seriously is the best list ever!! We love the City Select, Rock N Play, Milk snob cover, Sophie the giraffe, and literally everything else you listed. Thank you for all your hard work compiling it all!
My favorite thing from this BEST BABY REGISTRY is the Willow pump! #breastfeedingandworkingmama
Love love love this baby must have list! For a first time mom this is GOLD. Thank you so much for taking time and making this. Making adjustments to my registry’s now. 😊😘 #5moreweeks
I’m preparing for baby girl #3 and I love this list! The miracle swaddle and baby wraps are a must!
Oh my goodness the Snoo bassinet looks amazing! I’m a first-time mom (19 weeks) and already feel overwhelmed by all the decisions to make, so this list is very helpful!! 💕
This list is amazing and I can’t wait to use it with the arrival of our second. We love our City Select too! And I can’t wait to give the Willow pump a try too!
This is such an amazing list!! I’m expecting #3. I’m most excited about the Willow pump. I’m a working mom and my medela is almost 6 years old and I’m afraid it won’t make it through this baby. I’ve been so curious about the Willow pump- so thank you for the review!!
I love this list! As a first time mom-to-be, it’s so hard to narrow down all the options out there! I want to try the fawn design diaper bag and the dockatot!
Thank you so much for the list! The list has been very helpful as I’ve been getting ready. I am due to meet my little boy in March! Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this list! I’m expecting #3 and I am most excited about the willow pump. I’m a working mom and I’ve had my medela pump for almost 6 years and I’m afraid it won’t make it through this third child. I’ve been so curious about the Willow pump- so thank you for your review!!
Oooh I’ve been wanting so many of these things!!
I love this list! I’m expecting my second baby and these are all great ideas for awesome baby products!!
I love the happiest baby snoo!!! Great blog !!
I absolutely LOVE the mamaroo. So many of my friends have one and now I have one too and I’m so excited to use it for my sweet baby due in March! I’ve let a few relatives try it out on their new babies and they are hooked too. It’s amaz!
I LOOOOOOVE the Solly wrap. I used it with my babes and right now I am using it with my friends’ baby, who I watch 2x a week.
I love a lot of things on this list, but my favorite would have to be the City Select Stroller! Hands down, it is the best baby purchase I have made. I was initially concerned that it was going to be a pain to take the seats off and put it away, but it is surprisingly quick and easy! It also is not as heavy to push as most double strollers are–even some single strollers. I could go on forever because I love it so much!
Omg this list is amazing, love the thoroughness! I need it all! 😂
I’m excited to try the como tomo bottles! My first baby is due this Saturday (the 27th) so I can’t say that I love a product YET, but I’m especially excited to try those since I’m wanting to breastfeed and keep bottles as close to that as I can. Love this list! It’s been so helpful.
SO good! Your original registry helped me when preparing for my first babe in 2015. Now getting ready to welcome my second and I ‘ve just read through this entire post..twice. My favorite items are the belly oil and swaddles! but i put so many of these items on my list to buy! Thanks Corrine xx
Definitely dockatot
As a soon-to-be new mom I’m not sure what my favorites are but I’m really excited to try the dock-a-tot and would love to try the city select stroller!!
This is such an incredible list. I have 3 boys expecting my 4th and i wish i had all of these things back with my first! Dock-a-tot is incredible i got to borrow one from a friend after having a rough recovery and surgery and while i hope i dont have to repeat the craziness having one of those and the snoo would be incredible! Such great thing for those roller coaster months.
Love this list has everything I always wanted from the dok a tot to the mamaroo just exciting to pin this registry list.
I love Baby Jogger! I have added all of the products to my list for my rainbow baby! Thank you for putting this together!
I have been dying for the Snoo!!! I feel like nothing compares 🤞
I definitely love everything but I think the dock a tot or snoo would have to be my favorite!
I can’t wait to try out the dockatot with my new babe!
I love my Fawn Design diaper bag in light grey! I have a 2 year old and a 25 week old in the belly! Excited for all of these good ideas!
Willow pump looks amazing and worth every penny!
I am so glad I came across this list before my first baby. My favorite purchase has been the city mini for sure!!
All these products are amazing, but my fussy 3 week old needs the SNOO!!!
This list is amazing!! Most of these items are on my “must have” list, and now I’ve added a few more because of this! The Snoo… That’s a dream item! I’ve been eyeing that for a while! And the Willow Pump!! That is the most brilliant breast pump I’ve ever seen! I would LOVE those! All of the items are amazing ♥️. Thanks for creating this!
Pregnant with babe number three and this list is such a lifesaver!! It’s only been 4 years since my last was a wee babe, but I feel like everything has changed and there are so many new, amazing products out there. I’ve been so overwhelmed with knowing what I need this time around, now I have this as a resource! I have to say, my fav thing from my last pregnancy was my Solly. It was something that I wouldn’t have wanted to do without. I can’t wait to get one for this babe!! Thank you so much for such a detailed list for new [and not so new] Mama’s!
xoxo
I would just die having the hands free pump! 🍼 and being able to do more than just pump and scroll Instagram would be a dream to these tired eyes! XO
I’m about to have my fourth and seriously nothing I’ve been as grateful to have as my Braun ear thermometer and NoseFrida!! We use the thermometer for every member of the family and the NoseFrida SAVED my sanity when I had a two-week old with a cold! I buy everyone I know one or the other for new babies.
Dying to try the happiest baby snoo!! Heard so many great things about it! Due with our first in May 🤗 thanks for this amazing opportunity!
The Snoo is life changing!!!💕 Baby sleeps for longer hours!!! A must for new moms.
This is a dream list 😍 I had to start all over on baby stuff and this list is just 😍😍🙌🏽
This is amazing and so helpful as I’m getting ready to have my first baby in Feb! Making a baby registry has consumed hours of my time! Its been really fun, but it can be overwhelming! I love the Mebie swaddles and the Gathre mats!
I’m becoming a new mom, so honestly any of these would be amazing! After reading all the reviews i would be blessed to win even one!
Perfect timing for this as our little guy arrives in a few weeks! I love it all, but am most excited about the housedress since it seems so cute and comfortable for before/after baby, as well as during the hospital stay.
Dock a tot is my favorite item! They are all so good though!
The Happiest Baby SNOO looks amazing! praying I win this for our soon to be little babe because we are young poor college students! Loved this post!
I love everything from this list!! If I could I would give every single thing on this list to my daughter 😭😍 it’s just all so useful and too cute!!
New mom here and I can’t say how grateful I am for this post!!! I went through your original list and added everything to my registry and now I’m spending tonight going through this one to update my registry! Can’t wait to order that boon high chair-I think it will be my favorite too. 🙂
City select stroller I’ve been really interested in for my newborn and toddler! My newborn currently loves her Dockatot! Love this list!
This list is everything I’ve always wanted for my babies! 🙌🏽
This list is absolute perfection! thank you so much for taking the time to create such a gem! My favorite thing to try would be the snoo bassinet! Your recommendations are always top notch!
This is an amazing list! I’m pregnant with my 3rd and there are so many things on this list I wish I had with my first two. Now I can enjoy many of these items with my 3rd baby. Thank you.
As a new-to-be momma seeing all these tips and reviews of items is so so helpful!
The most precious registry there ever was. Amazing source of information. Very grateful!
Such a great list! My baby is due any day now, and I’ve already gotten many things from your list! My favorite so far is the pottery barn glider, so comfy! Can’t wait to use everything once baby girl gets here!
Baby Jogger strollers are the best! I love my city select and I’ve wanted a city mini for a while!
Hospital bag!! So cute!!
Thanks so much for this list. Although, I’m pregnant expecting our second child. we are now having a girl and excited to purchase some thing brand new for her! Loving the nesting bed/bassinet!
This is the best baby registry list ever! Love so many of the things on here….
Tubby todd is definitely one of my favorites!
The dock a tot and rock n play we’re the most used in our house. Nothing better then something that will help out a sleep deprived mama!
I’m almost due with my 4th and it’s crazy that a lot of these items I’ve never used. I’ve screened shot so many of your suggestions over the past couple months, just so I wouldn’t forget them, and be able to get them myself. Thanks for all the great tips!
The Willow pump sounds amazing! That looks like a game changer!
I’m wanting to buy an ergo baby but not sure which model is the best. Which one is your favorite?
This list is super helpful. Shopping for everything baby is so overwhelming for me. There are so many options that it’s hard to know what to get, so thanks for doing all the heavy lifting. Speaking of which, I’m due in December and have had some tricky back problems this pregnancy. I’ve been super stressed about carrying a 20 lb car seat. I was thrilled to see that you posted a much lighter 5 lb option. Phew! That will save me. Thanks again!
This is amazing! So helpful! Can’t wait to go back and read it again and again when I’m curious about a certain product. Thanks so much for doing this. I think my favorite product would be the Happiest Baby Snoo!
Okay I’m due in January and have seriously been eyeing each and every one of these things!! There’s SO many new things since I’ve had my last!!! Can’t wait❤️❤️❤️
I love all of these items… what a great registry! I really love that Snoo!
Oh my goodness, i’m Obsessed! There’s soooo many things I would looove to have off this registry. When I had my first son who’s now going to be 2 next week, we could barely afford anything nice and hardly got anything off my registry. Now we have baby number 2 joining us in February, which is a sweet baby girl, Rylee Grace 💗 I have really been wanting a momaroo this time around and would absolutely 100% cherish everything on this dream registry 😍
I really want a fawn design bag! I’ve always wanted one after having my baby girl I want one because it holds so much stuff and it’s super cute!!
I arrive. uedtro blessed moment! After reading this article and see the list of all recommendations, we think we should be ready and informed for our baby, we are sure that soon we will be pregnant and we will celebrate winning these awards with all of you, Thanks for the opportunity to earn all this !!!! Thanks for you Help!!!!
The Snoo bassinet looks amazing!
The rock n play was a lifesaver with my firstborn the first 4 months! It’s my favorite in your list!
I’ll be a first time mom early February and with so many different brands it’s overwhelming to know where to start to prepare for baby! It’s brands like you that I trust not only in your product but it all the ones you recommend! I would be so grateful to win any of these amazing baby items. Mama roo especially!!
Love the snoo!!
Dockatot is my favorite
I would LOVE to try the SNOO bassinet! After losing a baby, I am extra anxious about my future daughters safety. This bassinet would help me sleep at night knowing that she is sleeping safely next to me without the fear of her rolling over in her sleep!
I used your baby registry list 6 years ago and these new adds are spot on. I love tubby Todd, solly wraps, and i can’t wait to try the snoo and willow the next time around!
this is so awesome! Due with our 4th baby in February but haven’t bought much new stuff since baby # !. The snoo sounds so so amazing! But for sure hoping to get a dockatot and fisher price Rock n Play with this one!
What an amazing list! Due with baby #2 in January and this was super helpful to read through. Thanks For putting this together! My favorite baby item from my first babe was the halo sleep sack, but I’ve heard the Snoo is a game changer!
I’ve been eyeing the Dockatot forever but haven’t been able to spend the money. Would love to win this!!
I love the swaddle blankets and we all know how helpful and good the babies sleep when they are snuggled tight.<3
This is amazing! Such a great list 👌❤
This registry is amazing!! Everything you need as a new mom!! I’m going to start a family soon and I feel these are truly all the essentials!! Thank you for putting this together!
LOVE this list!
Thanks so much for sharing!! Seriously obsessing over everything on your list!! I’m due with my first baby boy in March and this list made creating my registry so much helpful! I’m definitely intrigued by the happiest baby bassinet seems so amazing!
The Dockatot appears to be incredible! That is my favorite item from the ‘updated best baby registry.’
So hard to pick one favorite! So many amazing items and many I haven’t tried yet. Feeling cute while pregnant can be tricky sometimes, I couldn’t live without those maternity skinny jeans!
So much good info on this post!! If I had to pick a favorite it would be the Snoo Bassinet- I’m pregnant with my first and so intrigued by it and have heard amazing things!
The Snoo is by far my favorite item on this list!! My husband and I have done a ton of research and we think it’s the best!! Would die for one!!!
The dock a toy is my favorite!!!
So many of these items are on my registry!!! The one I am most interested in learning more about and trying out is the Happiest Baby bassinet!!
All these things are amazing! But I’d love to try the Willow pump, how convenient!!
Convertible crib is my must have, most favorite item. It grows with your kid for so long.
All of these tips!! 😍😍 my favorites to try would be the light weight car seat, ASOS maternity dresses 👗 and the self rocking/white noise bassinet, like what?!? This is such a detailed post! Thank you for sharing this!!
Thank you so much for putting this all together! This is registry GOLD. Loving that 4moms Mamaroo!
Finding this list is such a timesaver for a researcher like myself!
I love my dockatot. But now have to get that micuna high chair!!
Oh my gosh, this really is the BEST baby registry list ever! I wish I would have found this before my daughter was born! Love love love Tubby Todd, it’s a total lifesaver 🙌🏻💕
I love the Dockatot! I think it would have helped me a ton with my first child. I cant wait to get it for my second child!
would love a fawn diaper bag for our new baby, arriving any day! 🙂
My favorite 2 items from the best baby registry are the Dreft detergent & the Freshly Picked Moccasins! I used both (still do!) with my first child & cant wait to use both with my second daughter due in March!
My favorite item is definitely the Dock a tot, and tubby Todd, and silly baby, and gathre…. okay maybe I can’t choose just one!
The willow breast pump sounds amazing! That would be my must have item. Portable discreet pumping… yes please!
So many cute items on the list! I think the jogger car seat set is 🙌! How gorgeous is the Happiest baby bassinet?! Love!
I am hoping to add a Dockatot to our baby items this time around!
Love love love this baby registry update!!
Loved reading and looking up everything on the list! I’ll be a first time mama to a baby girl at the end of December and I’ve been stressed to know what to get. Love reading your posts and being apart of your Facebook group!
Love love love this baby registry update!! Fawn design is my fave!
Such an amazing list 💕 I need it all!!!
Tubby Todd’s All Over Ointment has been an absolute revelation for my toddler’s eczema!! I’m dying to get that Willow Pump for baby #2 in the spring. As a working mama, that would be a lifesaver!!!
This is such a great list! I am super interested in the Willow Pump!
Love the baby jogger! We have the double and now with another one on the way would love the single!
I love this list. My son loves his comotomo bottles!!
Thank you so much for posting these! I’m pregnant with my third and feel like SO many new and helpful products have come out over the recent years! I’ve heard about most of the products on the list and would LOVE to try the Snoo! All the products seem amazing though! Anything to make mom and newborn life easier ❤️🙌🏻! Fingers crossed big time!
Love the Fawn Design bag & Solly Baby weals – sooo good! I’ve e heard amazing things about the Snoo and Willow Pump as well. Such a helpful list you’ve compiled – thank you, thank you!!
Due with #2 TOMORROW! 😬 I’d love to try the Snoo but would be happy with any of the items listed since they’re all on the top of my list! Thanks for the opportunity!
This list is amazing!!!
My most favorite item on this registry list is the willow pump hands down! I have had 2 babies that were born with out the ability to latch on and nurse and I exclusively pumped for both of them! This pump would be a tremendous game changer in pumping, soooo much freedom!! I never had that luxury with the other pumps I went through while exclusivly pumping for my girls.
My favorite baby item would be dockatot and fawn design diaper bag. Would love to win these so bad! Thanks for the chance though!
Love, love, love this list and how thorough your recommendations are! It’s so difficult to make a registry and have peace of mind that you are making good decisions for a little human youvhavent even met yet who will have their own likes and dislikes. I appreciate this more than you know!
My favorite baby registry item would be the snoo! I would love to win one for my little one due in feb!
City Select is amazing! My friend has one for her two children and I use It often!
Love the diaper bag
The Willow Pump is genius and looks amazing!
So many good items! I’ve heard amazing things about the Dockatot! I’m hoping to get one soon🤞🏼
That Fawn Diaper Bag is what DREAMS are made of! Getting ready for our first baby due January 4… sweet little Capri Monet and we can’t wait! I definitely need that diaper bag in blush! Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
I love love this post! Everything is so classy and pairs well with my current style! Expecting my first little baby, Benjamin, this Christmas 2018! Couldn’t be more excited, and loving all of the great tips and products you have and recommend! ❤️💙
I love the anthro bedding! To die for!!
This is amazing!! It’s been 4 years since my first and now am expecting baby number 2. Thank you!!
I’m most excited about the willow pump! It looks so convenient and easy to clean I would love to have that part of my every day breast pumping routine! It seems amazing just like everything else on the list!!
I can’t wait to use the Puj Tub! It’s on our registry and I love how it flattens for storage!
Dockatot would be a dream!
Absolutely love the Solly Baby Wrap. It is amazing! So comfortable and light!
I saved for months to get the dock a tot. I had to really stick to it because we couldn’t afford it. I was able to save just enough before our little cane and it’s been the best investment ever. Thank you.
My favourites are the snoo and sollybabywrap!
All of it sounds amazing! But would love to win the Willow pump, dock a tot, or momaroo!!
Snoo!!! Looks like a (needed) game changer!!
This registry list is awesome! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have the willow pump so I can chase my toddler while pumping for baby#2 😁
Ergo baby carrier is my fav. I’ve seen a few people I follow have them and love their style.
Really all of it though. I’m newly expecting baby number #2 and dreaming about what I want!!!
I need to try the sno bassinet, sounds like a life saver when your babe is just little!
The fawn design bag is my favorite😍 I would love one
LOVE the mamaroo!
My husband and I are starting our family soon and we can barely afford to have a baby as he is a medical student! So I’m always keeping my eye out for discounts and deals on baby products to help us get ready to welcome our babies into the world. I think my favorite item would definitely be the solly wrap. I have heard nothing but glowing reviews!! I am so thankful that you work so hard to put these lists and registries together for us – moms and soon to be moms included!
This was helpful to use for some pointers when I was pregnant with my first! I love the Solly wrap!
Awesome!! I love the 4Moms swing. We are expecting our first in May. Thanks for all your help with tips and all:)
The SollyBaby wrap and the DockATot are my baby must haves. Used them for all three of my babies and they were life savers!
I used this baby registry list with my first baby to get the best advice and products and I am SO glad I did! We bought so many great quality products and we will be able to use with our second baby coming in January. I am excited to try out some of the new products you are recommending this time around. My favorite purchase we made from your registry list was the Nuna Pipa car seat. It was so lightweight, best quality out there, and worth every dollar spent.
We are due with our second boy any day now and I just love all of these suggestions! I think the Willow pump looks so stinking cool ❤️
The SNOO is by far the best!
That willow pump has to be amazing!
I loved the solly baby wrap with my last baby! There are so many things from this list that I am excited to try with this next baby!
So I am pregnant with my third babe. As a veteran mom I can honestly say Honest Diapera and Tubby Todd are the best things ever created to make moms job easier. My little dudes (fingers cross this little one is going to wear flowers and bows) have super sensitive skin. The only things I could put on their bodies were honest diapers and tubby Todd everything. Best items by far to keep this mama calm and out of the ER with flaming hot bums and peeling skin.
Seriously love everything on the list!! But my favs are definitely the Nuna Pippa Carseat and the Mamaroo!!!
The snoo is literally what dreams are made of!!
I love the baby registry list. I was looking snuggles and other stuff you put it. Perfect timing. My second baby is coming soon. Thank you for sharing this. You are the best
Oh my gosh, this is WONDERFUL! I first came across your original registry list when I was pregnant with my daughter Kennedy a couple years ago. I’m now pregnant with our second (due in April) and am so thankful for the updated post as so many things have changed in just a couple of years! I’ve been following you for years and I just adore you!
Tubby Todd is my soon to be favorite for the new baby. I just ordered the mama box and the belly oil is heavenly! If only I could have a huge bottle of it. The hand lotion is amazing, amazingly smooth and hydrating. I will defiantly be looking back to order again and get their breast cream for breast feeding, it’s currently out of stock so they have lowered their price of the mama box. It definitely is worth treating your self too. Can’t wait to try their other products for my new baby.
This “labor of love” registry has all the things! I am so impressed with everything listed for a new mom and preparing for baby to enter the world. Reading your honest reviews and suggested products from everything to a great nursing bra (because who doesn’t need this!) to new innovations such as the Snoo Bassinet. It can be so challenging as a new mother to navigate what are products to try and your guide has really helped me plan for our baby coming in June! I honestly am looking forward to the highly sought after Willow pump – who doesn’t love cordless! Thank you for taking the time to collaborate this amazing list and thank you to your friend Robin for inspiring it so soon!
I just stumbled on your account yesterday! I’m so happy I did💗 I’ve heard about a few of the things on your baby list but was so grateful for the other recommendations. Especially the affordable ones, with hubby in flight school- gotta love student loans. The Snoo bassinet looks like a dream!!! I also love Doddle and co and solly baby! Thank you for this labor of love, you’re helping a lot of mamas!
I love the City Mini GT Travel System!
Solly Wrap 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Lifesaver!
What a timely and helpful list! I’m due (tomorrow!) with my 1st, but I haven’t bought a whole lot yet because 1) we’re having a surprise- we don’t know yet whether this little one is a boy or girl and 2) we’re planning on moving by the end of the year. Anyway, although simple I’m excited about the Solly wrap because it will be harder to pass a newborn around when it’s attached to you and I don’t really want to pass my baby around a whole lot during the flu season we’re about to enter. Maybe I’m a little selfish too, because I want all the snuggles I can get!
All of hear products are amazing!!! The willow pump would be a game changer, the docatot would be amazing and the snoo 😍😍 I want all the things!!!
Love the dockatot!!!
LOVE the nuna mixx2 with basionette and Pipa car seat!
My favorite baby item is the dock a tot!! I’m not sure how I lived without it my first two pregnancies.
I was so excited to get the email for this post! It’s my favorite work of yours! My favorite things from this list would be the Boon Flair highchair and the Fawn Design diaper bag. SO GOOD! The diaper bag looks so luxe and roomy enough!
I have been dreaming about the Willow breast pump ever since I first heard of it. I lost one of the pieces to my traditional pump so I can only pump one side at a time…not that I ever have time to sit down and connect myself to all those tubes anyway. Without fail, EVERY TIME I start to pump my baby needs a diaper change, or is hungry, or spits up, or gets fussy and wants held, or I forgot my drink, or need something from the other room, I mean the list goes on and on. How a cordless breast pump hasn’t been invented long ago is beyond me. It is well overdue, but also well out of my budget so I can only hope to have one if I win one. Every item on this list is worth dreaming about alone….the thought of winning all of them is overwhelming. It would be so amazing!
Love the dockatot
I am a first time mom-to-be expecting twin girls! Creating a registry can be overwhelming, so this is an INCREDIBLE resource! THANK YOU for this! I have not tried any of these products yet, but have added several to my registry. Looking forward to trying the Fisher Price Rock-N-Play and City Select Stroller!
LOVE this list, so helpful! I truly appreciate your honesty with all the products and how you give alternatives.
Great list. I’m pregnant with baby girl number 3 and needed some new things. Love the Rock and Play Sleeper for the first two so I will for sure be getting a new one for baby number 3.
Oh my gosh, this list is amazing! Due with baby #3 next month and even though we’ve been around the block a couple of times, we need so many things this time around. Loving this list! So many favs (just got the Nuna Pipa and Mixx at your recommendation!), but my fav is probably those comfy PJs. Going to have to get me some of those!!
This is definitely the best baby list out there. My favorite item is probably the DockATot but there are so many other great items and they are all the best in each of their categories!!
This post is so incredibly informative and detailed. Thank you! All the items I’ve been wanting to know more about before purchasing are on here. I’d have to say my favorite item would have to be the Dockatot or the Snoo! 😊
Love how in depth this is! I want to try the Snoo SO SO bad. Those mebie swaddles are to die for too though. Ah so much goodness!
Love this list!! I love my fawn design diaper bag!
I love my Fawn Design diaper bag!!
I’ve wanted to try Tubby Todd for so long! Hope I win!!!
I loved my Solly Baby Wrap with my daughter! Just bought another one for my new baby boy.
This is all the stuff we wanted before baby was born, but due to moving whe n she was 2 weeks old, we had to stick to the neccessities
LOVE the swaddles you use!!!
Favorite thing about baby registry is dockadot!!! I didn’t have one with my first baby and I want one so bad during this one! 😍
I absolutely love this list!!! I have a 3 month old and it’s been super helpful <3 thank you
Love the look of the baby jogger! Can’t wait to get my hands on one 😄
The Willow Pump seems so cool!
I have a 9 year old and will have a new baby in January. This list is awesome! Excited to try the Dockatot!
I LOVE this whole list! I’m currently pregnant with my first baby and this has been so helpful to read your current recommendations and which items have stood the test of time with 3 children! Thank you for putting this together!!
This is seriously all SO good!! I’ve always been all about baby gear, even before I had my first baby, and like you, it’s been fun figuring out what I like, don’t like, LOVE, and absolutely cannot live without. It was hard picking just ONE thing that’s my favorite, but I’m going to go with the rock n play!! I couldn’t have survived those first few months without it with my first baby, and am anxious to use it again with our baby girl due in TWO WEEKS!!!
I agree dock a tot and tubby Todd are a MUST!
This is a very thorough list and I use/have many of the things, but will be looking up some of the others. Thank you!
This is amazing, thank you! Had no idea there was a portable breast pump- pure gold!
I love the dockatot 🤗
I’m pregnant with my 3rd 15 years after my youngest son was born. So we need all the things! Thanks for a great list!
It always amazes me how gear changes over the years. I ended up strictly pumping with my first two- it died I used it so much. I can’t even handle the willow pump. Life changing!! 😍
Our DocATot saved my life the first few weeks our baby was home. He slept so well every time we put him in it. We also LOVE our Nuna Pipa car seat. It is so comfortable and easy to install in the car. The best part is that it is compatible with our Uppababy stroller.
Soft blankets were my son’s favorite. He loved rubbing the silk edges of his Lil Giraffe. I wish I had a snoo! I’ve hear wonderful things about that miracle worker. Love your list, and your hospital bag.
Ahhhhhh!! 😭🙌🏼This is SO helpful! I am expecting and due in February with my first! Starting to register was feeling so overwhelming, but this helps so much! Thank you for your tips and thoughtful insight! 😍 I can’t wait to try these out with baby E! Thank you!!
Love the baby jogger!
I want to try the Snoo and dockatot so bad!
I love how versatile the dock a tot is. I love that it provides such a secure sleeping place for new little ones.
Ahh!! This list is life changing and your explain actions are so helpful! I am 15 weeks pregnant with our first baby and this can be so overwhelming! We just found out yesterday that we are having a baby girl and my husband and I are over the moon! We just moved away from all of our friends and family so anything that will make our lives easier, I hope we can get ASAP! Xxx
I love this list! I haven’t used the solly baby yet, but my friends rave about it. And I can’t wait to try myself when my little girl is born!
Awesome post! The SNOO looks amazing!!
This is amazing!! It truly is a labor of love! I have been wanting a Fawn design bag FOREVER!
This is such an extensive list! Thank you for all the information. I would love to have a dock a tot out of all the items you reviewed. My little one is due to come home soon from the NICU, and I’m hoping that it will help her to be comfy in our living room
I love so many of these products, but one of my favorites has to be the Gathre mats! SO versatile, love everything about them.
Baby jogger!
4moms breeze and dockatot were lifesavers with my first ! So many great products on here !
Love Tubby Todd too! So many fabulous things on your list!!
I so appreciate all the nursing suggestions! I am having such a hard time figuring out what I need as a first time mom for my baby girl coming in January! Thank you so much for making it easy!
I don’t really get on social media anymore but I missed seeing your posts so I subscribed to your emails! I don’t have kids… yet 😉 but I’ve heard amazing things about the Dockatot from friends!
I love our white noise sound machine!
Love the snoo!
Love the Dockatot!!
My absolute favorites have got to be the Rock n’ Play and our baby joggers stroller (we have both the single and double versions of the city select)! Must.haves.
MamaRoo for the wiiiiiiiiiin. Seriously the BEST for newborns. Also love my City Select! As for what I’m dying to try — I’m so intrigued by the Dockatot.
I love this list!!! Having number 2 (due Christmas Day) and feeling like we have nothing for him. I can’t even pick my fav baby item. My fav that we have is the rock and play. I’d love a willow breast pump for while at work. So discreet.
I’ve heard AMAZING things about the SNOO! I can’t wait to try that out during the next round! (Isn’t it crazy all the different products that come out in between your very own pregnancies?!) thank you so much for sharing that comprehensive list!!
Love our munchkin diaper pail!
The solly baby wrap seems like the most incredible item!
What a great list! Thanks for sharing! We loved the Dockatot with our first (Lyla Rose inspired by your little Lyla :)) and are hopeful it will be a hit again with #2 due in January!
The City Select Jogger Stroller looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I am in absolute awe at the time and heart that went into making this list. it is so helpful and extremely easy to navigate. favorite thing on the list would have to be the Willow pump. I’ve never actually gotten to use one, however, I’ve been so intrigued about it. Thank you so much for all the work you do not only for us, but also for our Heavenly Father.
I LOVE the idea of the DockaTot. I can’t afford one so i can only dream of restful sleep haha!
The fawn diaper bag!! Would love to get one!
My favorite has to be the como tomo bottles, crib, mamaroo, well all of it really.its all needed
Such a great list of all the basics you need for your baby! I love having a carrier for my babies! So nice having hands free but still having them close by!
This list is amazing! I’m expecting in the spring and it will have been 5 years since we had our last baby so a lot of items on this list are new to me! That snoo looks amazing and so does that baby jogger!
This list is amazing!! Thank you!
DocAtot is definitely our favorite
The city select stroller is my favorite!!
Theres a couple items i loved that i would love to try. The first being the docatock, having a safe clean space to put baby is so convinient and such a great idea besides, me and baby girl would be traveling alot to see dad when shes born and that docatock seems like a perfect item to have. The second is the solly baby wrap, with my first child i baby wore every single day because he didnt want to be put down and that was very hard because my arms would get so tired and i didnt want to use a baby carrier all the time because the position looked so awkward, so i would just carry my baby (one thing i would never regret since my son passed away at 3 months, and that is a memory of him being in my arms i will always have) with babygirl i want to be able to do the same but a more convinient way and that wrap seems like my answer and it comes in cute colors perfect for a picture.
I am due Christmas with my little girl. The timing between her and my son is 6 years so this has been a big help! I really love the sollywrap as I’ll be running around with her trying to keep up with my 6 year old!
My favorite item is the Willow Pump! I’ve heard so much about it and would LOVE to try it out for myself!
I have a four year old and due with our second daughter in February. I can’t wait to add most of these items to my Amazon Registry to make sure that I update all of the new baby items. This list is spectacular! Thank you for sharing. <3
So hard to choose a favorite item!! I would have to say the bassinet or Solly Baby wraps!!
The Solly baby wrap looks amazing! I didn’t realize there were “prettier” ways to carry your baby in the front other than those black military looking ones I always see.
I am a new pregnant mom and love this baby registry! Such great ideas. I would love the Doc-a-Tot for my little one coming, I’ve heard great things about it!
I think I struck gold coming across this post! It’s so important to feel settled and stress-free with a baby on the way! Baby #1 coming in the spring. I feel more prepared already. Thank you!
I bought the mamaroo for my son and he never liked it. It definitely isn’t for every baby but hopefully my next one will like it as I am 7 months pregnant and will soon be trying out the mamaroo again
I LOVE our Saranoni swaddle blanket. It is so soft, cushy, and even stretchy. I purchased one made of bamboo and it is so cozy. I want one for myself now!
This list is amazing! It helped me so much when preparing to welcome my first little one who arrived just 7 weeks ago. I think the SNOO sounds amazing! My little man has had some trouble with sleep and I feel like it would be such a life saver!
I love your blog so much. I always find such helpful information when I need it and I love your positivity and honesty.
I LOVE the Solly Baby Wrap – it’s gonna be a must have for baby number two coming in May!
Baby Jogger and Fawn Design Bags are on my wish list!!
So excited about the Fawn Design bag! Their bags are so beautiful. I’m so in love!
Love the BabyBjorn travel lite. Favorite and awesome customer service too when I had a problem. They sent me a brand new one!
Amazing list!!! Wish we could try the snoo with our third! But the dockatot was seriously the greatest thing ever for our second and I can’t wait to try it for our third!
I would love the happiest baby bassinet! baby two on the way and we don’t have our bassinet anymore! the one we had before was a hand-me-down and didn’t last 🙁
Great list! My fav would have to be the fawn design bag,! It’s a classic!!
I love it too
I just found out I’m pregnant, and so I’ve been trying to come up with my needs/wants based off from what I had and didn’t have with my first child. I loved my Solly wrap, but have been definitely eying the doc a tot and a new jogging stroller since I love to run. There is so much to this list that I want!!
The gathre mat!
I am in need of everything !❤️😫
I love the aden + anais swaddle blankets! They are the softest AND such sweet prints.
So In love with the fawn design bag it is as beautiful as it is elegant.
Love that Fawn Design diaper bag!
Love all the choices! My number one pick would be the infant and stroller set!
The Solly wrap is my favorite! Hoping this next babe enjoys it as much as the first one did!
I love my Fawn!!!
Im so jealous!! My baby has latch issues and I want the willow pump so badly!! AND i cant produce enough milk so I have to pump an insane amount of times a day.
However, I entered in your contest so hopefully. 😉 My favorite thing from your list above is my gathre mat. I have a sick parent, so we travel to see her a lot. Nice to take that with us.
So helpful! You’ve thought of everything! Thank you for including the best of the best and a reasonably priced option for so many of us! This will make nesting way less stressful. I love those baby blankets and bows.
A sling or a wrap for baby getting stuff done while holding a fussy baby is so much easier with a wrap!
Where do I even start with all the things I want to buy for my baby! The snoo, dock a tot and willow pump are the top of my list!
Love baby jogger products!
I couldn’t have survived without your list for my last baby and it was #3! Now I’m pregnant with #4 and recently found out he has a birth defect – I’m heavily relying on your updated list to make sure I’m prepared for him. I am heartbroken I won’t be able to nurse him so I am in need of a good pump!!
Totally crushing on the Snoo! I think every mans dreams of having a newborn who sleeps just a little better 🤪!
This post is amazing!!! I am due in November and now I am scrambling trying to get stuff on the list. Love the baby bow infant caps, blankets, the bassinet is way to expensive but looks sooooo good!! Love this list, definitely my go to list!!
Solly baby wrap is the best!
I love this list, and I would have totally ditto-ed the Fels-Naptha for blowout stains… but a friend gave me an even BETTER trick when my last baby was born. The Fels-Naptha works great, but still requires a little scrubbing in my experience… This new solution works like MAGIC! Just spray on the stains and wash (you can even let it sit for a while if you’re not ready to start a load right away). The recipe is super simple: Mix 1/3 part Persil detergent, 1/3 part ammonia, and 1/3 part vinegar and put it in a spray bottle. It’s ready to go whenever you need it and is a huge timesaver!
Can’t wait to try comotomo bottles and dockatot. Oh and the uppababy visit! All are already on my registry!!
I’m pregnant with our first and freaking out over what we will need. This is thought to be such a huge help! I will never ever not love Tubby Tod. It’s amazing!!
This list is SO helpful to me as an expecting first time mom! My favorite item on this list is the Nuna Pipa Lite. I’ve read your posts about it before and finally decided to just order it. Hoping we love it! Thank you!
This is so good, so comprehensive. I couldn’t have made it through the first year without my mama too!
I loved the comotomo bottles with my first baby and we will definitely be using them with #2! Best bottles for breast milk or formula hands down
I love the gathre mats! How I feel like there could be so many uses for them! Picnics, play room or even changing a diaper! Thank you sooo much for all the time and effort you put in to making this baby registry list! ❤️
I love my Fawn diaper bag! But if I win I would most like to try the willow pump! Pumping is such a pain point for me and I’m so intrigued. Descretly pump while waiting in the school pick up line? …. yes please!! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
The things I love the most from your registry are the baby jogger stroller and the willow pump recommendations; anything to help get momma out of the house and to help momma “keep on keeping on.”
I love the Willow Pump! It wasn’t released in time for my last baby but I’m hoping to get it for my next baby!
I’ve been wanting to try those comotomo bottles this time around! I really hope they help with colicky babies 🙂
I love fawn design diaper bags!!!
The baby wrap & Ergo are my favs because they save me ha baby is snug and I can be productive 🙂
Going to share this list with all my expecting momma friends. You left nothing out!
I have only tried the Solly and the bottles but I loved both. For my next baby I want a dock a tot so bad and the Gathre Mat.
The Dockatot looks amazing!
I love comotomo bottles! They are amazing. This is such a great guide! ❤️
Anything tubby Todd is to DIE for. I had some for my son and I may have used most of it for myself haha.
omg so helpful! We are working on our baby registry this weekend! I LOVE the 4moms mommaroo!
This list is so perfect it’s impossible to pick a favorite. But I know with my next baby I’ll be getting the dockatot, a house dress, maybe a Willow pump, and 4moms swing. But that smart bassinet is a dream!! And the diaper bag. Ugh, love it all!!!!
Love the noodle and boo wash! It makes me want to eat my babies up!
Corrine,
Wow this is such a stellar list! I cannot thank you enough for putting this perfect registry list together. Your post is definitely reassuring since I have heard so many great things about the Snoo Smart Sleeper. It is so hard to pick just one but I would say that the Snoo Bassinet would be my favorite item on your registry list:)
I love the solly wraps, such a lifesaver!
This is the most amazing list! I can’t wait to get some new stuff for baby #3! There is always so much new stuff to choose from it’s so helpful to have a guide!
I would loooove all these items!!! Especially the dawn design bag!
Dockatot looks cool!
Thank you so much for this list! I am prego with our 2nd and my 1st is almost 4. I feel sometimes like I’m starting all over from point A that it’s a bit overwhelming. These detailed tips are SO very much appreciated. My favorite item is a toss up between the Snoo and Willow Pump. I’d have to with the pump because I had such a hard time with breast feeding and pumping. It was extremely stressful. I am hoping and praying that it goes better this time around. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for such a comprehensive list! I am dying to try a fawn design bag!
Love Fawn Design! I can’t wait to try the Dockatot & SNOO!!
I love the silly baby wrap!
The comotomo has to be my favorite item. Everything else is beautiful and so helpful, but if I could get my new baby to take a bottle, that would be the greatest gift and I’ve heard such great things about these bottles and breastfed babies. Mama needs to be able to leave once in a while!
The Snoo and the Mamaroo sound amazing. We have two infertility procedure babies and were told we would never have another after our second was born almost a year ago. 18 weeks ago we found out we were pregnant! Most of what we had baby wise was gifted to mother’s in our community that needed support. So we are basically starting over. This would be such a blessing for us.
I’m obsessed with the como tomo bottles!
This registry! So so good! Love so many of these items like the travel system and so anxious to try out some of the other stuff!!
So excited for the willow pump!
This is an amazing – dream of a list! 😍 Gosh I’d love to try that cordless pump for baby #2! We loved the dock-a-tot for our son!
The Dock-a-tot is for sure my fave on this list!!
Amazing list!
Willow pump!! Genius! Where was this with my first. Would be awesome to have for my second due soon!!
My favorite is the willow!!!!
Also the dockatot!! Best item.
Oh my goodness, what a list!! I hadn’t even heard of some of these items, but they all look amazing! I especially love the idea of snoo and those pop pacifiers are genius!!
The Fawn Design bag!!! It’s awesome for anyone with kids!!!
Mamaroo is a must have. Having it is the only way o get things done around my house. Definitely my fav.
This list has given be a bunch of ideas for my first due this winter!
Believe it or not I’m probably most appreciative of your momwasher recommendation! lol I never would have thought of that.
Whoa! This list is incredible! Thank you for making it for all of us mamas to be! I’m SO intrigued by the Willow Pump! I’ll be traveling a lot in my car for my job so it seems like this item would be PERFECT for me! Thanks again!
I’ve heard so many great things about the Dock a Tot!!
So many great items on this list! Some of our favorite items are the NailFrida, Mam paci, and Boppy Lounger!
I can’t wait to try the Willow! And the Snoo!!! Hello snoozing!
I absolutely NEED tbe Willow!
I’m very excited about the Dockatot! Thanks so much for doing this for all the mamas!❤️
I love my vista stroller and silly wraps! I also can’t live without my mamaroo! My son sleeps so well in it! I wish I knew about it with my first 2 kids!
The snoo, the wrap, the breast pump. All so amazing and wasn’t avail when my first was born. Must have so for my next.
Love the Belly Bandit. Didn’t realize how much it was helping my c-section healing until I accidentally skipped a day!
Thanks for this comprehensive list! Willow pump and mebie swaddles are my favorite!
I love my dawn design bag! Definitely a must have!
We love our city select stroller and city go car seat!
The stroller would be awesome to check off our list!
This really is the BEST registry list ever! I used it for my daughter and have recogmended it to girlfriends. So many favorites but if i had to pick one, Dock a tot is AMAZING! Thank you!
Love the dockaTot
it’s so hard to know what you’re really going to want/need with your first baby. thanks for your expert advice! that Pottery Barn glider chair looks like an absolute dream!
Love this list! I feel so out of the loop with what the latest and greatest is from having my last baby, so this helps a ton! I would love to get a dockatot!
This list is a godsend! Literally so overwhelming trying to figure out what the best options for baby are! Love that you listed multiple options & included budget friendly options! Thank you!
I am most excited about the Snoo!!! Heard it’s a miracle worker!
I would love to win this for my wife! The snoo looks incredible.
This is a great post! I haven’t tried most of these things, but I have heard so many good things about the Dockatot! These are all great suggestions, I’m excited to look further into to get before baby comes in December!
All of these products are AMAZING!!! I am really fawning over the fawn bag.
I’m truly loving everything! With my first I felt so unprepared, and now with the next I feel like there’s so little to worry about it. It’s crazy how much changes in 5 years. This blog post truly help me feel prepared and ready for the next adventure of two children!
This is so helpful!! Thank you so much. First time mama over here!
Dockatot!
The Baby Shusher white noise maker is a most!
I’m super excited about the snoo and really hope im able to get one! Looks amazing!!
Corrine! I couldn’t agree more on soooo many items, I would sell my firstborn to try out that Snoo! We just survived grad school & just had our third😳😳😳
So many are my favorites. I just barely had a baby and i could use all of these but I love the rock n play. I love your blog thanks for putting so much time and effort into it
I am pregnant with my third child and feel so out of the loop- Baby items have come a long way in just two years! This is a great list and I hope to be able to try even just a few of these things! (The willow pump seems amazing!) Thank you!
LOVE the snoo!
This list is amazing!!! Love a lot of the brands already and can’t wait to try some of the new things on baby #3! Tubby Todd has been a lifesaver at my house! Thanks for the updated list! ❤️
Perfect list. My fave is Fawn Design!
This is the best list ever!!!
Our dock-a-tot has been an absolute lifesaver for our preemie!!
My fav baby items are the mamaroo and my WildBird sling!
So excited to be a first time momma! I am a special ed teacher and love my students and am so excited to have a kiddo of my own. Can’t wait to try the willow pump
The Willow pump looks amazing!
This post is SERIOUSLY AMAZING!! I am currently expecting with my 4th next month😱 My oldest just turned 5 and life with my 3 littles is crazy busy but I wouldn’t change it for the world! All of these products are awesome! The willow pump is something I would love to have, especially love the hands, cords and bottle free! Thank you SO much for all your hard work in putting this together
Due with my first and can’t wait to try some of this out! I know a solly wrap is on my list.
We love our A & A swaddle blankets! We probably have 20+ in all different colors and styles. I just had baby #3 a couple days after Corrine did and this time it was a boy! So fun to get some new boy-ish swaddle prints.
The willow pump looks amazing!
I just had my third baby and a handsfree breast pump would be a LIFESAVER right about now! That looks amazing!
I love the Nosefrida! I get it for everyone I know that’s having a baby, gotta save those tiny airways. 🤧
Wow! I am pregnant with baby number two. This list is amazing, so thankful for your hard work to put this together. It is really helping me out with all the things I’ll need for this little men. With my first, she loved her comotomo bottles and her dock. Would love to try this new bassinet with my baby boy. So excited.
Thank you again for this list.
I’d love all of this for my wife who is expecting our 3rd!
The best baby gift I ever received was my infant car seat!
This list has everything you could think of needing for a newborn! As a newborn nurse I have taken care of so many babies that are so fussy because they aren’t being held or rocked. The mama roo is the biggest lifesaver for moms everywhere! I swear by them and I haven’t even had my first yet! Anything to be able to set your baby down for a couple of minutes to get in a shower or eat some food.
Wow – best registry tips ever! Can’t even imagine this type of registry for a first time human mom, with a baby pup, and having just moved and raising our little nugget in a new city! Thank you so much for sharing!
We have our baby girl coming in January! Can’t wait to use all of your tips – it’s so overwhelming as a new mom, so thank you!
This is such an amazing compilation. My fave item would be the dock a tot for sure!!!!
My favorite is definitely the willow pump as that was the hardest thing with my first child: pumping and going to school full time
I used many of your items a few years ago when I had my first two kids, and I’m looking forward to using the new items you’ve posted here for my third! Thanks for doing all the hard work and research! The doc-a-tot seems like a super helpful thing to have!
There are so many things I have wanted to try on this list! My favorite that I have is the Solly wrap! I love that I can hold my newborn and get things done around the house or play with my 3 yo.
Love the dockatot!!!! And that the cutest diaper bag now has a laptop pocket!!
Loooove the snoo! Such an amazing product/invention! Definitely would be a huge life/sleep saver!
Gotta go with the dock a tot! We couldn’t have survived without ours!
Wow this is so incredible! Definitely think the SNOO is the most genius product to hit the market. Such a helpful list, thank you!!!
I seriously love everything on this list!! If I had to choose my top choices it would be the happiest baby “snoo”, fawn designer bags have been on my list since I was 16 lol, the 4moms is perfect for family gatherings and basically everything!!!
Wow! This list is the best thing I could’ve ever come across during my pregnancy. I’m a first time mama and have no idea where to start! My favorite item on this list would probably be the SNOO. I would love if I could afford that for my babe!
The happiest baby bassinet looks amazing! And I love the Solly wraps, they have the cutest prints!
The link to the comfortable nursing bras from Target isn’t working. Is there an updated link or a name so I can fine them? Thank you!
HERE is a link to the nursing bras Corrine loves! They are the same as the ones from Target (which it looks like they aren’t available there anymore!) Hope that helps! -Kourtney
Thanks for all the tips under “Mama Recovery”. I can’t wait to try out these products!
I really want to try out the willOw pump. Would be amazing if I️ could use when I️ go back to work after baby.
Such a great list!! That Snoo bassinet looks incredible!
We received sheets for our Delta bassinet and they were a life saver (as you can imagine with all of the blow outs). It is really difficult to find sheets for all of the different size mattresses, but ours from a brand called NODNAL Co seem like they can fit many size mattresses. You can google NODNAL Co bassinet sheets and they should come up. They are super soft and in cute gray, gender neutral prints. Hope this helps!
Love your list! I was wondering about the use of the Snoo with Babywise. Would it be considered a sleep aid and how did you combine the two while still getting your little to fall asleep on their own?
Corrine says they’ve used the snoo with no problems at all traveling and still having millie sleep through the night in a dockatot 🙂 -Kourtney
Hi! I have a question about the Milliard Crib mattress…I just received one as a gift (based on your recommendation) and before I unwrap it I’m wondering can you see the grey/white polka dot pattern though your bedding? I assume you put a mattress pad over it, but I’m thinking the pattern will still show on the sides. Has this been an issue for you or am I missing something?
Thank you so so so much for this post!! I just found out I am pregnant with my first and feeling slightly overwhelmed with the things I might need. I love that you made this list and discussed your most haves, different price points, why you love each item. I feel so much better now knowing that I can reference this as my time gets closer! You are amazing!
SUCH an amazing list – thank you!!
Thanks so much for the wonderful well-researched list., great article.i have been looking for some best baby products for my sister’s baby registry list., these are really a great list with detailed information.. thank you ..really looking forward to read more.
For me as an upcoming first time mom this list was a lifesaver. There are so many things out there and you get easily overwhelmed with the choices. So thank you for your time and putting this together. This saved my sanity 🙂
Hi! I’ve been loving your blog so far as a first time pregnant mom-to-be. I just had a quick question about the link for the City Go Car Seat. When I clicked on it, I got an error page and would love to see what you recommend!
Thanks!
Hi Sunny! Thanks for bringing that to our attention! HERE is a new link for the car seat. Let us know if you have anymore questions! -Kourtney
Great list! We like to tell people to think Eat-Sleep-Poop when beginning to put together their registries. If you start with those then you will at least have the essentials and then the rest will fall in place. HAHA! But seriously, great list.
This is such an amazing list- thank you!! Quick question: I feel like I’ve seen you mention the Maxi-Cosi and other convertible car seats on this list in past versions. Do you have any new (or old) recommendations for convertible car seat?
Hey Erin! HERE is a post full of Corrine’s favorite convertible car seats! The deals are most likely expired, but those are still her favorites! -Kourtney
THANK YOU for posting these amazing recommendations! I am having my first and this is soo helpful!!!
It all looks amazing! Thank you for Introducing this!
Rollupbaby
very nice blog thanks for posting.
This post has had more useful information than I’ve been able to find in my six months of pregnancy so far! The most helpful and eye opening bit for me was the belly oil! I didn’t think anyone had gotten serious results, so I hadn’t seriously considered it until now!
Hi!
I’m a mama of a princess and one more on the way in 3weeks💋 I love the all babies things ! My favorite would be a sling cause you get to hold them close !
I love your content, it is so helpful for brand new moms navigating the best things to buy!
Thank you for the Nina Pippa Lite tip! BEST car seat ever! I’m a first time mom and I’m so happy that I bought the car seat that is lightest and easiest to protect and carry my bundle of joy!
The skiphop tub is one of the best recommendations! I was looking at so many on other registry sites but I think I am convinced this is the one!!
Oh my. All of this. I especially found the tips on how many diapers useful. The trick of sizing up for nights is genius, granted the little one gets some long stretches of sleep 🥰
This is a seriously helpful list! I’d forgotten just how much I’d forgotten since my toddler was born!
I’m pregnant with my second and I wish I had had this list with my first!! I never felt like I found the perfect nursing bras but I just got the ones on the list and I already love them!! So so excited! Thank you!
This is so helpful! I’m due in May and I take all the advice I can get 😊❤️
This list is amazing and so helpful! Putting a registry together can be so daunting, but I just kept coming back here!
My favorite thing is the Nuna pipa lite car seat. The best for going home from the hospital! Super light.
So much amazing stuff! Thanks for making this comprehensive post!
Baby girl is due in May! This is so helpful! I’ve loved your pregnancy posts too! Thank you!
So informational! Thank you for taking the time! 💕
Thank you for this list 🙌🏻
I registered at Amazon too and loved the convenience of it for us and my friends and family!!
I love the Idea of the Snoo and look forward to trying it out!
What a helpful post!! Thanks so much!!
This is the best list ever!!!!!
LOVE how thorough this list is!! I have been hunting for a detailed list like this throughout my pregnancy- thank you!
This list is amazing!! I love the baby take home outfit from the hospital! Thank you for putting this together❤️
I’m 38 weeks pregnant and have been scrambling to find a cute swaddle for baby girl in the hospital. Thanks for leading me to some great brands. As a first time mom I need all the help I can get
I’m pregnant with our 5th and got rid of almost everything after our last baby. So glad to have a complete list of all the goodies!
Even on baby number two this was actually so helpful to read and realize how much stuff we got that we didn’t need with our first! Great blog!
Thank you for basically making my baby registry a snap! This is my first and I can say it is more than overwhelming. Good thing I have you vet the goodies!
Love love love the SNOO it was such a lifesaver and the dock a tot!
Thanks for all the great product advice!

This post is amazing!!
I love all the recommendations! It’s so hard to decide what to go with, but you sure made it a bit easier!
Such good info! I feel like with 4 kids behind you you know what the good stuff is! I really want to try those nesting olive dresses too, they look amazing!
So awesome, thanks for this list♥️
So many helpful tips on here! I think I’m definitely going to get the fridamama products for recovery. Anything to make it easier down there to do to the bathroom!
Also, extra long phone charger for the hospital- I totally would have forgot that.
Pregnant 24 weeks and this is the dream registry!! So excited to check out these products!! I am in desperate need of them for baby!
I absolutely LOVE this blog post ! Baby gear and products are one of my favorite things too! I’m 28 years old, and a mom of FIVE fabulous kiddos! My oldest is 6 and my baby is almost 4 months old. Life is so fun and crazy busy but with good quality baby products it makes things easier , last longer, and I love the look too 🙂
Love it
Gosh this is so awesome. I love most of these products and am excited to try thr ones i dont know about!!
Wow ! What an incredible website. Wish I would’ve found it with my first newborn, but I’m glad I found it in time for my second baby on the baby!
Most definitely the most thought out post on Pregnancy, baby and even siblings. So much insight and information, thank you.
This is so helpful! So many options everything gets so overwhelming.
As a first time Mama, this was so helpful!! I’m keeping this for my future Mama friends and definitely recommending!

Terrific list, thank you for sharing
This is great info for my sister who is a first time mama due this summer.
We are definitely looking at a new stroller for baby #2, so the stroller section is so helpful!
I loved your recs about maternity clothes! Staying fashionable while growing this bump has been my biggest struggle.
Wow! This is such a great list of all the necessities! This baby will be my third, but the last time I hand a baby was almost six years ago. I feel like I’m relearning everything again! It’s exciting but I’m a bit nervous.
This is my third baby and I feel like this is so good to remind me of what’s important!! Thank you so much!
This is the most comprehensive post!!!
this post is amazing! so much good info for new mamas. happy i found your blog 🙌🏼🙌🏼
This is seriously the most helpful post I’ve been able to find! Thank you!!
This is amazing!! The most overwhelming part about being pregnant for the first time is knowing what I’ll need, what to put on my registry, and ultimately what is worth my time and money. I love that this goes through all different things; things you’ll need for baby, things you’ll need at the hospital, and even pregnancy items!! Love love love! Thanks for sharing.

What an amazing list!! I really want to try the SNOO. I also grabbed a bunch of swaddles & plan on bringing them to the hospital even though people said not to, glad you did & recommend it!
So many goodies!
Always recommend your list to all my friends who are expecting!
This is so so helpful!!!
These are all amazing suggestions!!
This is the most thorough blog post and amazing to read as a first time mama! Just ordered my black out curtains based on your recommendation and obsessed with all the ASOS dresses for maternity!
This was so helpful to me! First time mom and no idea what’s coming if coming! Thank you for all of this!
I’ll have to try that oil! I’ve developed stretch marks fairly quickly with this pregnancy, my second. Thanks for the recommendation!!
Shopping for our second baby and learning from what we did and didn’t like with our first! Love all these suggestions
The snoo is the absolute best!!
This is so helpful for a first time mom! Thank you!
Amazing items!
After having one, I always said I wish I would have gotten most of these reviews items. By the time I found out there was an item that could have made motherhood easier. He was already too big. Can’t wait to utilize some of these great buys for my daughter due June this year!
This is such great information!
I just had my third and wish that I would have read this blog on my first and invested in all these amazing products!
Thank you for addressing maternity clothing! It’s so easy to find items for baby but finding clothes that make you feel like “you” while pregnant seem like an impossible task.
I love that you dressed your bump so cute—total inspiration!
Thank you for this blog! Being a brand new mom and expecting in June, it’s so hard to know what to get. This blog is full of GREAT information to help me understand and know what would be best for my little family! So thank you so much ☺️
Love this blog!!! Thanks for posting

This was so helpful!!
Thank you for all these wonderful recommendations! 25 weeks and just ordered some swaddle blankets you suggested! There’s plenty of new things since I had my last baby 9 years ago LOL
This list is very helpful! I would have to say my favorite recommendation is the Ergobaby Carrier. I would love to have my baby as close to me as possible when we’re out and about.
Love!
These are such great things to invest in! I just had my 3rd baby and I need some new ideas!
Everything that you suggested for Mama Recovery is the best! As a first time mom I’m not as stressed about!:)
Really great and useful pregnancy and baby info!
This is so amazing and helpful! I especially need to pack my bag ASAP 🙈
Thanks for the post, it was really helpful. I’m going to purchase the Frida nasal aspirater because my baby’s nose is whistling due to a hard to get booger as I type this. Also, I am definitely going to try out the noodle & boo body wash and lotion 🙂
I loved reading this post! Definitely helpful for picking out things that I want for baby #3
Everything looks awesome. Love new recommendations. Can’t pick a favorite!
Wow you all are so amazing for giving new mothers so much help. I’m pregnant with my first baby ever. I’m so excited and have so many of these brands on my registry already and will definitely be adding more.
Wow this is so all detailed and specific and every new mama needs to read it 💕 I especially love how it gives you every little detail to breast pumps to what swing and car seats!
Wowza!! Great list!
Making my registry now for our first and I love this super in-depth list!! Thanks!!
This is amazing!!! I’m due with my second in June! Some great reminders here too. My first is 15 months!
As a FTM this list breaks down what to bring in the best way! I love everything from the silk pillowcase to the letter board. Definitely added a ton to my Amazon cart and I’m going to be picking up a few things I just added to my list from Nordstrom tomorrow. I especially love that you suggested the Nuna pipa lite because that was the one I was looking at and it validated that I should get it. Thank you for this amazing blog!
This registry is one of the best I’ve seen! Now I know how to gear up for baby girl!
Thank you SO much for this! I am especially grateful for the Willow vs Elvie comparison! I’ve been looking at both for a while, not sure which way to go.
Love this list! I’ve been going back and forth with my registry trying to figure out the best products! This was so helpful! I’m really excited to try the Snoo!
Wowza what an amazing collection of products! So nice to see all of these in one place! Thank you!
Thank you for consolidating all of these items into one list!!
Lots of good info and advice!
This is a great post! Definitely book marking it!
Super grateful to have so many amazing recommendations!! This is my first baby & there are so many products. It’s super helpful to know the must haves!!
I’d have to testify to a few things on this list – the Saranoni stretchy swaddle I was gifted was the only swaddle my baby could not successfully remove herself from. Her lush nursery blanket is the one she reaches for now (18mo) to cuddle and snuggle with.
-Dock a Tots are great for keeping little ones from rolling in their sleep, and they helped my baby feel like I was near, even though she slept in her own bedroom after 6 weeks old.
-MamaRoo’s are fantastic for a moment of peace, and depending on the model you invest in, have different settings for their movement. My sister actually uses her all day to help with my nephew’s reflux.
-Tubby Todd is worth every penny. My little girl has the world’s most sensitive skin, thanks to her daddy’s Asian heritage. Their bath wash, all of their lotions, their first aid. It’s all fantastic, natural and smells divine.
-to add to the maternity clothes, Target has the best jeans. They have a very supportive band, and I even wore them a few days postpartum because the band was comfortable.
Thank you for compiling such an easy to follow list! It’s daunting trying to figure out what a new baby needs but this takes so much time out of the decision making process!
This is SO helpful! Late to the game preparing for our first – a baby girl arriving in April! Going to study this – thank you!!!
This is the most helpful post EVER for new moms!!!! Thank you so much for putting it together. I found the maternity section to be especially helpful, it’s hard to find cute maternity clothes!
We are so excited for our first bundle of joy coming May 2021! Thanks for the post!
So helpful for this first time mom!
Love. Love. Love!!!
This list is incredibly helpful! I haven’t had a baby yet, but tried the baby band and it’s been helpful to reduce hip pain!
This is great!! Very helpful information!
Love this list!
Snuggle me organic, Sophie the giraffe and 4 moms Mama Roo and Willow pump are done of my favs! Looking forward to trying some of these newer items with baby number 2! Thanks for the post!
Amazing list
Oh my gosh!! What an amazing collection of fantastic products from amazing companies!!! I’m getting ready to have my second and this is such an amazing list!
This was very very helpful with creating my registry this time around! I love how you took the time to break it into each section, and simplified the work. This is gold to a pregnant mama and her friends. Thanks!
All this helped so much! FTM here and looking for all the guidance ❤️
This was so helpful! Will definitely be checking out the recommendations!
Omg this is perfect! We are starting to plan everything!
Love this condensed list, so helpful for any new moms!
Having my first baby and he is due May 8th!! Good to know there is a team to support other new mamas on must haves and some great ideas!!! #Teambaby!
Thank you for taking the time to make this great list. I loved the Mother’s special blend oil! I started using it in early pregnancy after every shower all over my belly/chest due to your recommendation and I never got stretch marks!
I also loved Tubby Todd baby shampoo and the little giraffe hooded towels, which are thick and soft and so cute.
All great recs, thanks again!
Needed advice for a double stroller plus love all the mam supplies too!!
So helpful!!! Thank you!!
Love love love this list! I’ve heard of most of the brands (waiting for the arrival of my first baby any day now!) and discovered a few new great ones!
Awesome helpful post!
I’m pregnant with baby number 3 and I feel like there are so many awesome things I didn’t have with my first two. Time to start preparing. Thanks for sharing!
Love this baby registry! It’s so great!
Officially sold on getting the Solly Baby wrap!
Also, love the postpartum gown idea for around the house!
I love a great registry list!
For me as an upcoming first time mom this list was so helpful!! There are so many things out there i didn’t know where to start but this helped put me in the right direction!! Such a great post, I’m excited for all things baby at this point❤️❤️
Great guide! Will definitely suggest this to friends and family who are expecting. Tubby Todd has been a lifesaver for my sons eczema!
This is the most through and best list I’ve seen! So so helpful! Taking all the notes from this list!
❤️Baby number four coming in April. This registry is awesome, I have pointed many friends to it.
What a helpful post! We loved our uppababy bassinet and car seat. We are pregnant again and can’t wait to use them again
This is so helpful especially for me I had a baby girl on July 24th 2020 and then now I’m having my second due July 22nd 2021🤪 def was a surprise especially going to my first appt thinking I was 12 weeks and I was 20 and finding out it is a boy🤣 were super excited tho! Thanks for the tips🥰
SO exciting! Congrats!!
This was exactly what I needed when I needed it!
This is soooo helpful!
Love this!
The colace tip is the best thing about this 😆😆
So helpful – thank you!!
I want everything!
Thanks for the registry list. It really goes through everything! It helps for deciding what I really need to spend money on.
Ttuly the best helpful guide ever!! Ive tried every single stretch mark oil or balm and the Mother’s Special Blend All Natural Skin Toning Oil that you recommended has helped so much and i can truly sa thank you💕.
In love with ErgoBaby Swaddles! We took ours everywhere with baby number 1
Perfect list! Our first baby is due in August
This is AMAZING!! thank you for all the great recs!
Love these recommendations!!
I am SO THANKFUL for this! I am currently pregnant with what will be my 5th child. However, it has been 12 years since my last baby! To say I am overwhelmed with the “options” for all the baby things is a major understatement. This is so helpful and I’m so appreciative! Thank you!
Wow! What a list! Thanks for this!
This is SO helpful!!! Thank you for taking the time to make such a well rounded list!!!
Love all the recommendations!!
This is fantastic!
This was so helpful! Thank you so much.
The mama recovery section was so enlightening as I approach having my first baby in 8 weeks. It’s seriously so nice to hear from other moms what works and what doesn’t, it helps to be prepared for the reality of postpartum and I crazy appreciate seasoned mamas willingness to share and be so open on the subject!
I had no idea what to get when I had my first baby and I wish I had come across your blog sooner! I just I’d my second baby and I feel so much more informed.
This list is soo helpful!
Thank you for this!
Im due in July and see somethings have obviously changed from my last child!!!❤
I love the product suggestion for the extra long iPhone charger cord for the hospital! That is so smart and such a great idea.
So helpful
Absolutely LOVEEEEEE the mother’s special blend oil! Loved it more so for after baby! I feel like it really helped tighten my skin back.. also my first baby didn’t go anywhere without the dockatot and my second will be living in it as well 🙂
Love all of this 😍
This is so helpful! So many great items!
I’m pregnant with my first and this is such a helpful list!!!
Love this!
Thank you for the update! Being 20 weeks pregnant with our second son, it’s great to know your top baby products. Being that our second is a c section, I would love more info on that and what to wear during the hospital stay.
Hi Nicole,
Congrats on your second baby!! I shared some c-section tips here, and did a whole podcast episode on Harry’s c-section birth here!
I also have a post on what I packed in my hospital bag here, and some postpartum recovery tips in this post. Hope this helps!!
This is the best, most thorough list a new mom could ever need. Thank you for the work you put into it!
this list is amazing! best i’ve seen. i’m definitely bookmarking. thank you!!
Wow! Thank you for taking the time to make this for us expecting mamas, especially first timers! This is so helpful. Too much information to me is not a real thing so this is a list I’ll be coming back to to keep preparing for our sweet baby girl. ❤️
This is an amazing post! I wish I would’ve seen this before baby #1! Such good detail and explanation.
Super excited to dive into this list! ✨
Saving this for sure! Such great product recommendations! Thank you for sharing!
so helpful! thank you!!
This is exactly what I needed!! Thank you!!!
I am pregnant with baby number 1 – this list is so so helpful and I can’t decide what is the best recommendation! I am going to take into consideration all of your suggestions!
Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions. I found the information about the dock a tots and the jogger strollers to be most useful 🙂
Such an amazing list! Thank you
Thank you so much for this fantastic list!
Wow, what a fantastic complication! I wish I had read this when I was still pregnant to get a head start on everything. I’ll be slowly adding items, and then I’ll be totally prepared on day one for baby #2 when that time comes!
Love this list! Pregnant with my 2nd and needed some ideas and good tips! It’s funny how much you forget after 2 years later. Love the FP diaper backpack, and all the info for csection mamas. I’ll be having my 2nd in 2 months and there isn’t alot of information and tips out there!! Thanks!!
Amazing, tried and true! Pregnant with my third and feeling ready/but also like I’m learning everything new again. Adding in a move at 36 weeks Is a little stressful, but trying to take it day-by-day.
Wow! Amazing for first time mommies!
I do have two baby registry just in case anybody ask for them but due to financial issues I won’t be able to have a baby shower which makes me extremely sad but everything happens for a reason.
But great list.
Love a ton of these products! The baby susher is great to have around the house.
This is an amazing list! I just had a baby and these are great suggestions!! I especially want to try the tubby lotion!!! My poor little guy has eczema and cradle cap! I hope it helps!
Love this thank you!!
Thank you for all the helpful information! It’s helpful to know what you actually need for baby!
Wow! I am so happy I found your list! I will be updating my registry pronto! Thank you so much for sharing your insight ❤️
I love this! Thank you!
Thank you for your list this is going to be my second baby after 6 years. Reading you list and info really helped me !
Such a good list! I didn’t use Honest diapers until baby #3, and they are so good! I will definitely use with baby #4.
This compilation is amazing!! I’ve loved many of these products since baby #1, but now that we’re hoping for #2, I’ll be adding a lot more favorites to the list!
I LOVE THIS!!! Thank you so helpful! ❤️
My youngest is 6 and we are welcoming a rainbow to the family this year! We don’t have any of our old stuff, I guess it’d all be outdated now anyway haha I absolutely love your list! Hopefully we can buy some of them!
Such a useful list, love the dock-a-tot!
Wow This List is so helpful!
This registry is FLAWLESS! 😍🤩 this list covered everything, and I wish I would’ve had this to go by before I had my baby. Thanks so much! The mama recovery section is so good. I wish I had focused more on my personal recovery, instead of trying to rush to “bounce back.”
this is so helpful! thank you for leaving the links. this is exactly what i needed! expecting baby #3 and i’ll definitely be saving this.
This is so helpful! Even as a mom of 2 already it still helps to have reminders
Great list! I need them ALL!
I’ve been working on my registry and this list is perfect! Definitely going to use this!!
Thank you for posting!!
I love how informative this is! I definitely over packed my hospital bag and always love a good deal! I will definitely refer back to this once baby number two is on its way.
Love how informative and helpful this post is for soon to be first time momma’s!
Wow what an amazing list!
Love love love! I have a baby coming in August and this is 🙌🏼
Great post!!
We just had our rainbow baby and I’m sitting here drooling over the SNOO 🤤 Our little guy has been a horrible sleeper so far so the SNOO looks like a dream come true!
This information is amazing!!!! I wish I had it with my first child, but now with my second it’s going to be like a bible for me, also I love the snoo bassinet I think is the best bassinet of the wold. Thank you for sharing all this content
I’m looking forward to delivering my baby boy in August. As I like to be prepared I enjoyed reading about the hospital bag post, it was very helpful.
This is amazing! So much helpful information and products I didn’t know were out there! I’m due in July with baby #3 and know I am going to need lots of hands free time while still getting all the baby snuggles! A solly wrap would be absolutely amazing! I think that will have to be my first purchase for the new babe!
The registry of allllll registry’s!!! Thank you for sharing all of this wisdom! So helpful for me and for all future mommas ❤️ I remember feeling so lost with my first, so this will be key for so many!
Solly is definitely on my must have list!
The swaddles! Seriously the best help ever!
Awesome list! Super helpful for first time mama’s who have no idea where to start.
Love all the suggestions and recommendations. Thanks!
Love the belly bandit! So comfortable and 100% would recommend!
This is so helpful to have. Thank you for providing this info, especially to a new and first time mom to be. Also, during the pandemic where it can often feel very isolating being away from friends and family.
Making last minute purchases before my c-section on March 9th. So many great suggestions I wish I had this list sooner. Love all the information and guidance shared. Definitely following your blog for future great reads .
The Nuna Pipa is hands-down the best car seat, great recommendation thank you!! Also I need to look into ASOS for maternity dresses 🙌🏼
I loved reading the stroller reviews. Now that I am expecting baby #2 we need a stroller to hold both our kids. I had been looking at the city select and uppa baby so it’s nice to see that they are comparable since I can find the city select on sale. Your list was great! Thank you!!
This is so, so helpful! Thank you for putting this together!
Wow such an amazing list of items and products. One of my favorites because who can just choose one out of all those has to be the camisoles because it’s hard to find a good one so thank you for that recommendation. I loved everything about this post because imo it lists alot of different things that are hard to find good of.
I’m a FTM and this list and blog post was incredibly helpful! Now time to start shopping!!
Wow I’m so glad i discovered this post! It is so detailed and honestly cannot just choose one item that was helpful to read about because every topic was a much need to know and I’ll be saving this and referring back to it during my pregnancy!
Wow so glad this is here for baby #2! Can’t quite remember how the first round went and I think I’m just as nervous in different ways..😬💕
Swaddles were the hardest for us to find one that we liked with our first born. Thanks for the recommendations we will be sure to try them!
I just had baby number five and a lot of our baby gear needs replacing this time around after being loved by his older siblings. This had some great information and would be so helpful!
FTM here & this list is so so helpful! 💕
Such a great list!
Absolutely love the solly! Such a game changer and so beautiful.
This is the perfect list
Amazing list! Thank you for putting it together! So helpful to moms and parents everywhere! 💕
Love this!
Thanks for sharing! Much needed. It’s so hard to know what to buy!
This post is insanely helpful. It’s great to have all this content in one place. Thank you from this momma due in 9 weeks!
First time mama over here and feeling really overwhelmed with all these options. This list was really helpful in narrowing some things down. I especially liked the recommendation with the Nuna car seat, will def put that one to good use.
This is hands down the most comprehensive baby list I’ve ever read! Wow, thank you for this! So excited to add so many of these to my registry!!!
Currently pregnant for the first time! The list really is amazing! ❤️
Amazing list!
It’s so awesome seeing all of the new things since having my first baby! I’m so excited to go through and some of these great items!!💕
What a wonderful blog filled with so much great info! My husband and I are excepting our miracle baby soon. We have had a lot of complications with this pregnancy due to my age but our little baby girl is a fighter!! Due date is 3/15/2021 but doctors keep telling us to be ready for an earily arrival. You blog and list made it is easy to know what we will really need!
All I have to say is WOW! I’ve never seen such an extensive/complete list. I really wish I had seen this during my pregnancy to be better prepared but at least now I can use it as a guide from here on out!
This is literally the best and most helpful mom guide I’ve ever seen. I have used a lot of these products and a lot of them I wish I would have seen prior to having both kids! So glad I found this now for the next one though! I also love the SNOO & just found Tubby Todd from our pediatrician and it works so well! I have always wanted a nuna, a pb rocking chair and solly baby wrap! I am bookmarking this and adding the rest I don’t have yet all to cart and future registry — and sharing this with ALL my mama friends! Yay! Thank you so much for your time and effort putting this together since 2013 to help all the mamas out!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This list was so helpful with the 5 year age gap between baby 1 and 2! I needed all the deets on new must have baby gear. I knew as a second time mom I didn’t want any unnecessary purchases. I feel like this list perfectly sums up the items that are something you really want to have!
This list is amazing! I totally wish I saw it when I was pregnant with my first. I’m currently pregnant with baby girl #2 and love all the suggestions
This is such a thorough list. All these recommendations are so helpful! Thank you!
I needed this! I just had my second-fifth (QUADS!) and needed to update my “stuff”! I’m definitely going to get the hatch scale because I need to be more vigilant about their growth!
Really wish I had known about the post when I was pregnant with my first. We are expecting baby #2 so it was very helpful and also something’s were a refresh. I’ll definitely be sharing this with my first time mom friends.
Oh, baby – as a FTM this list is a life saver! I thought I had done all the possible research I could but I would’ve saved myself a lot of time if I had come across this post sooner!! Most things are obvious like diapers and swaddles but the thing that kept kicking me is the GT stroller you recommend. There are so many options out there but I want whatever is easy-peasy so you sold me on it! Thanks, mama!
As a first time lol to be I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciated this post! This is exactly the list I was looking for and helped me prepare for my little one. I really appreciate the links and photos 💞
This is so awesome! Thank you!
Should a great list!! Definitely going to be going back through my Amazon list and adding some things!
Perfect for 1st time moms!!
This list is great!!!!
Go see a pelvic floor therapist as soon as you can post partum!!!
A must read for anyone who has a baby coming!!
Baby brezza sterilizer and dryer has saved me so much time! And my solly wrap too. Love my baby wearing. My baby is on oxygen now but we’re still able to baby wear with the solly thank goodness 🤍
This is so helpful and thorough!!!
Wow!! This list is AH-MAZING and just what I needed as I struggle to decide between SO many options for EVERYTHING! I really loved all of your incite on the Happiest Baby SNOO! As a first time mama, I feel like that is an absolute MUST! 🤍🙌🏼 Thank you for all of your recommendations during this overwhelming time of feeling like I need to get everything together before Babe makes his or her appearance in July!
Love this!
This is so detailed and so helpful! Thank you!!!
I love recommendation on swaddles. 3rd baby and this is still so helpful.
Thanks for all the helpful tips!
Where was this list when I was planning my baby registry?!?!
This is the best most comprehensive list ever!
This list is incredible! How helpful this would
have been before adopting my first child. I am so happy to have these resources now.
This was so helpful! I’m about to have baby number two and it’s so nice to have a list laid out for me of best products and must haves. Of course I still have stuff from baby number one, but it’s always great to get a few new things and read up on the best products and what worked for others. Every mom or mama to be should check this out!
Holy cow!! This post is amazing!! Thank you for all the hard work and countless hours you put in!! So so helpful!
This is all so great! Thanks for sharing! I’m due with my first this week and it made me feel better going through and realizing what I do and don’t have! So many products I still need to look into!
This is an amazing list. I had my 4th baby in November with a 8 year gap from my last baby so having to start over has been a little overwhelming. This list has so much detail I love it!!
The MOST HELPFUL list I’ve found anywhere. Thank you so much!
I have read blog after blog trying to find information that was helpful for me(first time mom alert!!) and none of them have really helped me, but this one brought my heart some comfort for the first time in awhile and I am so grateful!
This is so great for new moms!! I wish I saw this before my first baby ❤️
Thank you so much for this list! As a new mom I am still figuring it out and trying to find the best things for my child. So thank you thank you for taking the time and letting all the mamas out there know and giving us 411 on all these amazing items.

This list is amazing and super helpful for a first time momma! 💖
This is a great list! I’ll say the bob has been great for jogging and has lasted through 2 kids. I found the travel bag for it to be a waste. Thanks for doing all of this research!!
This is seriously the most informative registry I have ever read!! Super helpful especially when there is so much out there to choose from. It’s hard to make the right decision. So excited to be able to refer to this list to make sure I’ve got all areas covered.
What a great list!
The dresses recommendation was so helpful! Trying to decide what to wear for my baby shower and this was perfect! 👌🏼💕
So much useful information even for people that are already parents !! Love it
Great ideas! Especially for first time mom
Oh my word! What an amazing list! We are hoping for our second baby soon! I am so interested in the willow pump! Thank you so much for clearing some of my worries!
Love this baby registry!! I used it for my first pregnancy and it’s helping me through my second. I am so excited for the updated version just in time!
My second is due in June, and I saw so many things I didn’t even think of to add to my registry for this time around!!! Thank you!!
This was the most helpful post. I will be a first time mom and every piece of advice is super helpful. Thank you.
So many good ideas I splurged on maternity clothes before. But now I’m just going with these ideas since I’m a bigger size and I can wear after I have baby
This are such amazing tips and products. Don’t of which I had with baby #1 and others I’d love to have for baby #2 due May 1, 2021 💗
This registry is AMAZING! It has helped me so much with being a first time mom! Thank you🤍
I bought the City Select double stroller after seeing it on your list and we have loved it so much! Can’t wait to use it again when our 3rd baby is here in May! Thank you for the list!
Thank you so much for this amazing registry post it’s super helpful !
Awesome list
I have sooo many of these things already on my registry! Super excited about the Snoo I’m going to continue working so having something that keeps baby asleep better in the early months is going to be a LIFE SAVER!!
This list is amazing . The last version was a life saver with my baby boy. I know it will come in handy with my next one too !
What a great list! Yes to all of these 🙌🏻
Wow! So much goodnesss! Thank you for sharing your car seat recs – I was so stressed about that purchase but hearing how much you love the Pipa series has me sold!
I just found out I’m pregnant with my rainbow baby, and have been scavenging trying to find trendy chic baby things! This registry is full of so many things I love, way to go!
Wow! This is probably the best read for any mama to be!!! So much information and so many helpful insights and suggestions!! I loved every tip you had and the detail you provided!! Thank you!!
This is so fun! I have a baby due so soon! What a great list!

Such a great, comprehensive list!! So perfect for first time parents.
Wow this is so incredible comprehensive and helpful for a first time mom!! Thank you!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for this list! Planning on starting our family soon & this is so helpful!
This is a dream list. I used this list with my first, modified for my budget and taste. I came back for the hospital bag with number two.
Great list!! It might seem like so many things but you will want it all!!! And it’s all so helpful! Sollybaby wrap is a lifesaver. Also can’t go wrong with being prepared with all those postpartum things. Stocked up on baby number 2!
This is the most helpful thing for this FTM! Knowing what to register for can be daunting, but this guide makes it so easy.
Wow. This is exactly what I needed to read and it’s sooo helpful that it’s all in one post! Thank you for sharing your nursing bra/cami recommendations! I’m excited to try them out!
So helpful and learned about a few new brands I’ve never heard of! Thank you for the comprehensive post!
This is so helpful and informative!
My second is due in July and this post has helped me find things I would never have thought about. I can’t wait to update my registry!
This list is amazing!!! I’m currently pregnant with our first baby and will be expecting our little princess in May! Mintarrow is such a great resource for moms and mommy’s to be!
Yes, this is the best!! I love the Nuna Pipa and Tubby Todd!! I want to try the other things on the list as well.
Love this thank you! My first is 7 and out 2nd will be here in July and I need everything new, much appreciated!!
Love this list! Thanks!
Love this list!
This is such an awesome list!
Such a great guide! Thank you!
Thanks for all the lists. This is helpful a lot.
I was more nervous for preparedness/our baby registry than I was for actual labor 😅 this list is a life saver! Thank you so much for creating this!
Super helpful, thank you!
I am expecting my 2nd baby ( girl!! ) after 10 years of trying after my son was born. This is sooo helpful! So many new products and I just added so many to my amazon account! Thank you!!
Wow this post is the best of the best. I can’t thank you enough. I’ve used your amazing recommendation with my first miracle boy, I just knew I could count on your tips and kept coming back for more. And now I’m doing the same with my second miracle baby, she’s a girl!
I find extremely helpful all the tips about hospital bag, and all the postpartum items to help healing and breastfeeding.
Also all the info about swaddles, pacifiers, postpartum dresses, .. I mean excuse me but I’ve got to go back and read some more now 😘 Thank you again!
Thank you for this amazing post! This is so helpful to even a third time mom like myself. All of your recommendations are amazing!!! Thank you again for taking out the time to be so specific.
Zuleyma
This list is so detailed and I bookmarked it for reference! I’m most excited to try the Solly baby wrap & the New Mom FAQ section will be super helpful for me also! I’m for sure going to share on social media for other moms I know.
Best baby product list!!!
This is an amazingly comprehensive list of baby products, thank you for putting it all together! I’m currently pregnant with my third, but we’re finally in a place where I feel like I can actually get some nice things and we got rid of most everything after our second, so I will definitely be hitting up items on this list.
This post is great for knowing essentials! Just bookmarked it!
I had no idea what to pack for the hospital and postpartum this is super helpful!!
Love love love!!!
Love this guide! Especially the recommendations for swaddles and cribs as we are in the process of looking for our baby due in May. Thanks for the info!!
This is all such great advice! I am a new mom and have NO clue what to get and what is necessary. I love the honest opinion and the pros and cons lists for each item. It helps me know what’s necessary for our lifestyle!
This is so helpful! Especially as a first time mom. Thanks for posting!
This is SO helpful!!!’ Thank you SO SO much!!!
Agreed! Soo helpful!!
The list of hospital items was super helpful! Just ordered a robe you linked. Also love Solly Baby swaddles and wraps!
This is great!!
This list is incredibly helpful for a FTM trying to navigate all of the baby products! 💕
This list is such an asset and amazing help! I am working on my baby registry & this was EXACTLY what I needed! FTM & I can’t wait for my little babe to get here. Thank you Corrine for the baby list & helping my stress level. You are the best!
This list is AMAZING and the holy grail! Thank you so much for doing the research and putting this together.
Can’t wait to try the solly baby wrap with baby number 2 !
As a newly pregnant first time mom, it can be overwhelming trying to find the best for my babe. So happy to have this all in one place!!
This is so helpful! I love tubby Todd!
I love your posts, and all the insight you provide. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the recommendations on maternity clothes. Even during the pandemic my husband and I have two formal family weddings we will be attending and I’ll be 6-7 months pregnant. I’ve tried to start looking for dresses with basically no luck so I’m excited to check out your recommendations!
After many miscarriages, we finally get to meet baby Floyd! This list was by far one of the most helpful list in helping us get ready!
DockATot is my favorite!
Great list! There were many items on your list I have tried and love and also some new items I have been wanting to try! Will definitely have to try out a few items on your list for baby number 3!
Love love love this list 🤍 so helpful
Amazing! I want to try out all of these!
What a comprehensive list! I would agree with a bunch of the products (from my one child limited experience) and I think that the way you’ve put this together will appeal to all different types of moms. Sharing with my pregnant friends and saving to refer back to!
Awesome list! I have a lot of these products and love them. We use a lot of Frida Baby products & love my uppababy vista and Mesa.
Such great info and so helpful! We are waiting to be chosen to adopt our first child so we need baby essentials for us and I’m putting together a postpartum care package for the birth mom. Thanks so much!!
Wow! This is a great list. Would love to see something geared specifically to adoptive moms too.
The size up on the diaper for a night time diaper is GENIUS!!! 🙌🏼
I can’t wait to try the Solly baby swaddles with my next baby! They look so adorable and cozy!
As a first time mom due in October, this is a very helpful post, it answered so many of my questions! Thank you.
I love this list. My favorite suggests are the ones for moms. Often time we are so focused on preparing for baby we forget to pamper ourselves❤️
This post is a treasure trove! Thank you!
This has everything from pregnancy to post baby to baby gear!!
Pregnant with our second baby!! Even though I’m a lactation consultant and work around babes and mamas all the time, guided like this are so helpful for me since baby products can be hit or miss. Thank you for putting this together!!
Love belly bandit products!! Can’t wait to use everything else once baby arrives in May. Thanks for all the input it’s super helpful for a FTM!
Love this guide! The recommendations for swaddles are super helpful, especially since our baby is coming next month!
It’s my first pregnancy and I’m so excited to experience all things for new mom and baby! As an ER nurse I’m especially excited to learn more about the wearable breast pumps so I can continue caring for my patients during these times while doing what’s best for my new baby! Also excited about all the stylish maternity clothing and how extenuate my bump!!
Such an awesome comprehensive list! Super helpful for first timers.
Thank you!!
I’m about to have a little girl in two weeks and this has been SO helpful! I have a lot of these items purchased so I’m glad I made the right choice but I few I have added to my list. I’m eager to try those nursing bras! Thank you for having a perfectly compiled list.
Wow this list is amazing! Thanks so much for all the great advice! Seriously this is such a good list of baby products!
Such great info!!
Love it! Thanks for posting 😍
Holy moly! Thank you for putting this together. So much to think about and purchase when bringing a baby into the world!
Thank you!
This is all such great info! It’s been a while since we have had a new baby in the house and there are so many new, cool things that we need! Thank you for doing the research!
This list is amazing!! Thank you for sharing what you love and also sharing budget options that are great too! Now I need to just go update my registry. Definitely adding the solly baby!
Thank you for putting this together!!
What a fantastic list! Thank you. We are expecting our first an am feeling a little overwhelmed with all the products out there. Your list is so helpful in narrowing it down a bit! Thank you! 😘
Really this whole post was super informative, this helped me pick out a lot of necessities I’ve been planning on getting for my upcoming May delivery. I didn’t realize Solly made swaddle blankets so that was a fun tip and also I’m all about that Amazon life so any products available on there I LOVE. Great post. 💕
Love this 💗
Thank you for such a detailed post! I will be checking out the Paige maternity jeans and switching my registry to Amazon! I also am going to go test your stroller recommendations. I will be referencing this post for the next 3.5 months! Xoxo
Such a helpful list of baby essentials. Looking into getting a doc a toc!
Currently building out my registry for our first baby, and this has been an amazing resource! Thank you so very much for pulling all of this together for us more clueless mamas to be!
Literally been look for a comprehensive list like this, best suggestions and all of the products are quality!
Thank you so much for creating this list!! Sometimes you think you have everything, but this is by far the best (double check) list that I have come across! I am going to be a second time mom, but still need to go over some things I might have missed! Thanks again!
Amazing resource for new moms!!
Love this list! Thank you for saying maternity clothes can be cute and they’re comfy, I feel like most influencers/bloggers come down hard on them! Such a great list. We’re going to have a baby any day now and am looking through the list now!!
An amazing list of all the things, baby and mama! Needing that stretch Mark oil now!
Love all your very detailed recommendations!! First time seeing a post on hospital must haves and it was really helpful! Saving and bookmarking this for sure!
Love this list! Baby number two is here and we’re definitely in need of some goodies from this list!
I absolutely love my belly band I don’t know what I would with out it! I can hardly get through a work shift without it!!
This is such a great list! Thank you so much! Super helpful and excited to try out all these products!
Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. My baby has eczema and I definitely want to try tubby tod on him! And I made a make shift doc a tot when he was a newborn because he wouldn’t sleep in the basinet 😭
The outfits!!! 😍😍😍 my first pregnancy it was so hard to find comfy but CUTE outfits to wear!!
YES! Every mom deserves a snoo!!
Such an amazing, comprehensive list!! Thank you so much!
This is an amazing opportunity! Just had my 3rd baby 2 weeks ago and would love new fresh things for him!
This is awesome! Love all the info in this list. Just found out we have a baby coming so this is great!
This is amazing!! I’m a pregnant new mom and currently so worried about getting everything baby girl needs and this list is a godsend!! Thank you!!
This is so incredibly helpful as a soon-to-be first time mama! Thank you!!
So much help in one post!!!
I am expecting my first little one this summer and this will be so so helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together for parents. You are amazing!!
So great!!
This was so helpful! Pregnant with my second little one and added things to my list after reading this! Thank you!
This was so helpful and well done! Thank you!
I love when I find a comprehensive list especially since baby products seems to change as quick as a baby does!!
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this list and post! So very helpful! Whether your a first time mom or not, it’s nice to hear what others have liked and what has worked for them!
Really good information! This is my first pregnancy and we’re excited but also so nervous! Especially because everyone has different beliefs on what you should and how.
Love this!
Seriously amazing!! Thank you!!!!!
THIS IS THE BEST BLOG I HAVE EVER FOUND!!!! I am blown away. Sooo excited to have found this while expecting #2!! Going to read through this every night after putting my son to bed and start adding the necessities to my cart!! I subscribed as well and I’m so excited. THANK YOU!!
This list is amazing!! Thank you!
This is so helpful! First baby so all of this makes me nervous! I’m also a minimalist, so it’s kind of freaks me out how much stuff I actually need. Anyway thank you for putting this together.
This is such a wonderful list! Thank you
I love guides like this especially as a first time mom. They are so many things out there it’s hard to know what you need and what is the best!
AMAZING registry list!!
This list is amazing! I wish I had it with my first so I’ll send it over to a few pregnant gals right now. I completely agree with ‘I was told don’t need this or that’ (even the hospital said they provide items) but I’m so glad I packed them anyway because they didn’t provide the usual products during the pandemic and I was prepared and used everything I took. 💝
I love how comprehensive this post is covering all stages of pregnancy and baby, even the hospital bag! Much easier than tracking down separate posts while doing research as a first time mom.
I love this! Most helpful for me is the maternity stuff, currently pregnant with my first and learning about all the stuff I need! Also so helpful to see what people actually use and love for their newborns!! Thank you for this!
Thank you for sharing what you have learned from your own experience as a mom. This list is super helpful and I will defiantly be referencing it! As a fist time mom this is amazing.
This is so helpful!! Thank you!!!
Maternity Belt section was super helpful! I’ve been experiencing awful pelvic pain with this pregnancy!
I love the belly band support!! it has helped with lower back pain immensely!! definitely my favorite recommendation!
Thank you for publishing such a comprehensive list! I love my Baby Jogger City Mini GT. I upgraded from an inexpensive stroller and it made a world of difference! It maneuvers so much better and I love how easy it is to fold.
All of this is beyond helpful. What to pack in your hospital bag was the most helpful to me right at this moment because I’m 4 days out from my due date and keep stressing that I have everything packed that I’ll need. Also loved the belly support band info because I’ve had killer back problems all pregnancy and this was a MUST for me!! So grateful for amazingly informative articles/blogs like these!! THANK YOU ♥️
Woah! What a great list… getting that baby registry started now! 😁
I loved Mountain Ocean Mother’s Special Blend Skin Toning Oil!
Just added pretty much everything to my registry haha! Thank you!
This is amazing!!! ♥️♥️ Thank you so much for this resource!
Such an informative post! Loved it!
Such a great list! I wish I saw this while I was pregnant with my baby boy.
So helpful!! Everything I need and want to know in one post! Saved me so much time, rather than going from site to site finding the best of things. It’s been 8yrs since I’ve been pregnant and I feel like I have to learn everything all over again! So thank you again for this wonderful post!
This guide is amazing for new moms! I wish I knew all this before my baby boy was born. It would be a dream to have these items to help!
Such an amazing all inclusive list! Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Such a good read!!
Such a comprehensive list! Thanks for sharing.
This is so helpful! Especially with this being my first 🙂
With so many pregnancy/baby products out there this is incredibly helpful. I love having a consolidated list of all the must-haves! Thank you!
The actual best registry with things that you will actually use!!! So helpful thanks corrine ❤️
This is the best list that I have seen! So many useful things that I have fallen in love with!
This list is incredible and so well thought out especially for a first time mom like myself. Thank you!
So very helpful! This is will be 3rd csection and I appreciate all the info for csection mamas 🙂
I’m pregnant with my first baby and this list was SO helpful!!! I’ve heard the same about not bringing your own swaddle blanket to the hospital, so I’m glad I know to actually bring one 🙂
Thank you so much for this!! I appreciated how detailed it was and how it was from a REAL mama! Xoxo ❤️
The snotsucker is seriously a life saver! This list is so thorough and amazing! On baby #3 and still learned so much! I’ts amazing how many new things come out in between babies.
What a great guide for a first time mom! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this!
This is all so helpful! Expecting baby #2 in May and feel so out of the loop since our 1st is 4 already! So many new things
Excellent guide!!! Worth the read ❤️
This was so helpful! On our third one right now and I missed out on a few things to get! Thanks for the tips!!!
Love all these products!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love this list!!!
Love this list!! Solly baby wrap was a huge game changer for my first kiddo in humid NYC🙌🏻 That and I’m pretty sure every good baby shower gift comes with face masks, bath bombs or some other form of self care for the new mama!
Thank you so much for sharing this list and wonderful information!!! First time mama here and feeling like I dissent even know where to start, but this is helpful 💖
This guide is AMAZING. Thank you so much for putting it together! There were a few items we were on the fence about that you mentioned- and this has made the decision so much easier! Thank you thank you thank you! 🥰
Thanks for all this info!
I have followed your baby registry for a few years and I’m so glad it’s updated! So helpful. Already picked the car seat and stroller based on your recommendations and am excited to try some of these newer products you’re recommending. I share this post with every new mom I know.
I’m about to be a first time mom and honestly, thank you! I feel like a lot of other videos and blogs that I’ve seen are primarily trying to sell you something that they are being sponsored by but I feel like these products all genuinely helped you so thank you for sharing because being a first time mom can be so overwhelming with all the options out there!
I can’t wait to try some of these amazing products! Thanks for the list
So many great recommendations! I have especially loved the tubby Todd and noodle and boo bath sets!
This list was worth the time reading! So detailed and awesome!!!!
Ooh!! Wouldn’t this be amazing! 🤞🏻
Such a great list! With my second on the way, my registry is much different than with my first. This is very helpful.
Such a great post! So much good info!
As a mom to be, this list is SO helpful! I want to purchase items we are actually going to use!
Thanks for putting this list together. Baby registries and gathering what you need for baby can me so overwhelming.
As a mom to be, this list is so helpful. I’m so thankful I know what to purchase!
We tried the Como Tomo bottles with our babe and she loved them! Such a great list!!
Thank you so much for putting this together! Super helpful for a first time mama ♥️
Lots of good advice and recommendations on products! I have to get a few of them now ☺️
This is soo helpful for this first-time (soon-to-be) mama! I started my Amazon registry as recommended and added most of the must-have recommendations- I hope I get them all lol! Thanks for doing the research so I don’t have to, my baby girl will appreciate it! 🙂
Loved reading through and reviewing these awesome products! This is so helpful for a first time mom! Thank you!
So helpful! Pregnant with #3 and excited for my all time faves like Solly and Baby Jogger but learning so much about new products! Thank you for the detailed post!
What an amazing tool to use for such a crazy journey into motherhood! Thank you so much for sharing!
This list is absolutely amazing!! I just had my second daughter 8 months ago and I wish I had this list for my registry. When we decided to have baby number 3, my registry is going to be based off of this list!
Such a great and helpful list for me as a first time momma-to-be! Thank you so much for this! 💕
Hi lovelies ❤️
First and foremost, what you are doing is so nice especially at times like these.
Being a second mom and trying to stay practical I truly love this list because it helps us pin point what’s really necessary. I was struggling picking bottles and tubs.
Thank you for these tips! And GOOD LUCK TO ALL MOMMAS ❤️🙏🏼
Wow, this is great information!
This list has a lot of great recommendations! Just what I needed! Thank you!
This is the most complete and comprehensive list of registry items and has giving more insight on how to be most prepared before during and after giving birth! I currently have the Bellaband and think it’s just fine, but I’m excited to try the Amazon recommendation! Also, after reading we found a retailer and fell in love with the Nuna Pipa car seat in the store and can’t wait to use it with our girl!
Thank you for all of the great information! First time mom here!!
I’m Brazilian living in CA and preparing to have may fist baby in a few weeks. Just found this list with everything that I need to take good care of him and myself. I won’t have my family coming to help me and this is so helpful to know what’s the best product for may baby and I. Made my life easier finding all this info in one place.
Thank you 🙏🏻
This would be a blessing! I’m due in September 2021 of our first child. So much to learn and discover 😍
These are awesome products!
Love all this great info! Thank you!
This is the list I needed to see! So many great recommendations. I currently have the Willow pump, and I’m still getting used to it. It would be really helpful when I go back to work.
Great suggestion on the flowy dress for wearing home from the hospital for a summer/spring baby. And I’m definitely going to buy the hat with bow on like the offer in the hospital! Didn’t even think of that one.
Saving this! Super helpful for so many things! It’s hard to pick one. Definitely have been wondering about a stretch mark oil and safe car seat options that won’t break the bank! Thank you for putting this together ❤️
This is an amazing list of tips and items for a new mom 🥰 my daughter is expecting and we are so excited. She could really use all of this.
Excellent tips, thank you!
We couldn’t live without our Solly wrap or the Shusher!
Im so impressed! I truly needed this list! So much good advice! Love the suggestion about the affordable car seat option! Thanks!
Loved this!
Love this blog!!
FTM anxiety is no joke. This list has everything I could possibly think to ask when it comes to pregnancy, nursery and baby! What a relief.
Wow 🤩 so much great information. I love that it’s well laid out and easy to read and navigate. Thank you for taking the time to crest this amazing list.
so many good options & awesome advice! thank you so much for taking the time to put this together for all us mamas!
This is such an amazing list, super helpful. This has helped me so much in putting together my registry!
Love!❤️
Amazing advice!!! I just brought my baby girl home and will be adding a few of these to my Amazon order!
Thank you for this list! I already have a lot on my registry, but I’m CONSTANTLY reading articles, comparing items and making adjustments. So it’s nice to have such an extensive list from a mom who has essentially done the R&D so I can make more informed decisions!
Love all of the suggestions!!
Thank you so much for sharing all of this info!!! I’ll be referencing this list throughout pregnancy to make sure I have everything I need and all of the best stuff 😍
This is sooo helpful!!! I’m having a surprise caboose 6 years after my youngest so I feel like there’s so many new products I don’t know about!!
This is sooo helpful!!! I’m having a surprise caboose 6 years after my youngest so I feel like there’s so many new products I don’t know about!! Can’t wait to check out all these shops!
Love this line up for my baby registry! So many good recommendations!
I am so grateful you made this! I am pregnant with my first and have felt at a loss for what I need and what products are best! Thanks you so much!
I’m a first time expecting mom and all these were so helpful to read. I’m not prepared no still have so much to get before baby boy arrives! 💕
As a first time mom I’m so confused on what is actually necessary and what is an influencer trying to get me to buy but thank you for all the tips and advice!
This is so helpful for a first time mom!
So many good recommendations! Thank you!
Thank you so much for a great advice and information ❤️❤️❤️
Taking notes I loved this 😍 As a ftm, like you said they really need this this and this BUT there are so many helpful tools out there for us. I’m sure we all forget something on our list(s) 💙 mom blogs are my absolute favorite, moms unite 😄
Loved the hospital bag section, that’s what I was most anxious about! Super great recs!💗
As a soon-to-be first time mama, this is SO HELPFUL! I love to see that you recommend the BabyWise book – I have heard good things about it! Would love a SNOO so maybe I’ll splurge!
Amazing products!
The best list ever, so resourceful, thank you!
I agree!!!
Such a helpful list!!
Great list
This list is on point. I definitely will be using it for my little one coming in a few weeks! Thanks so much for taking the time to put it together!
This is incredible! Thanks so much!
Everything here recommended is wonderful and so helpful!!
Wow! I have tried to research extensively on baby stuff and found myself lost in a sea of products. I have to say this list was by far the BEST and most complete guide for a first time mom. It has literally everything! I can’t wait to add these items to my registry. Thanks for this post 🙂
Such a thorough and detailed list! I love the multiple suggestions to help figure out what best fits my situation in price and other categories. Thanks for all the time you put into this post! I’ll definitely be referencing back to it!
This has some GREAT information!! The swaddles, nursing bras and nursing pads are must haves for me!
I loved all the information on this post! Being a new mom can be very overwhelming! The thing I found most helpful was what to have after the hospital for you as a mom! Everyone talks about what the baby needs but I definitely had no idea what I was going to need.
This is amazing!!!!! Wedidn’t have a dockatot our for first baby, so I’m really looking forward to having one for our 2nd due in July!! Thank you for this!!
First baby coming in May and this is by far the best blog post I have seen 🙌🏼 Thank you so much ! I’ve already fallen in love with all the soft things (copper pearl everything) but this gives me a look at the big ticket items 🖤
This is so helpful for a first time mama! Loved it! Thank you!
What an awesome list! Sharing with all mommas to be!
These are some great items! I’m currently pregnant with my rainbow daughter who is due in June. My oldest is going to be 7 in May and so much has changed since he was small! It’s great to have some ideas of things to be on the lookout for 😄
This list is so helpful! Totally looking at the willow pump now!
This is like a holy grail post for us first time moms! 🙌🏻 I’m due June 6th and this really helped shed some light on a lot of things
This is a fabulous list for new mommas. Thanks for sharing. I especially appreciated info on breast pumps.
Thank you so much for the great advice and resourceful information. I feel so much more prepared now. ❤️
IN LOVEE🥰
This is such a wonderful post for first time moms! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the detail and wide range of ideas! I love these brands too. I know they are tried & true & TRUSTED! Thank you!
First time grandma here… things have really changed in 13 years since my last baby! Just looking for ALL the tips to help my daughter be prepared! 🥰
Dock a tot has been THE best thing for us! It lets us be flexible about where she naps but she has consistency with her ‘sleep place’
I’m expecting my second baby and I loved to read about all these products that you put together so beautifully!! Thank you for helping expecting Mamas with your wonderful list! 😊🎀
The most helpful blog ever! The baby frida snot sucker is a GAME CHANGER. I know at first you can be hesitant…I know my husband still is LOL! But it is the best invention ever.
I already love the Snoo! But as a soon-to-be Mom of 2 under 2, I needed the recommendation on how to move around with them! So the double stroller sounds like a game changer! And, the baby wearing gear recommendations were very very helpful. I hadn’t thought about how I’d be moving around with a new baby and toddler running around the house lol
This is awesome! I’ve been searching for a recent baby registry list!
😍😍
As a first time mom, this list was soooo helpful to my partner and I!
Loved the ‘for mom’ section usually disregarded when prepping the registry must-haves
very helpful list; thanks!
This literally saved my life!!!
I have a baby on the way and an 8 months old daughter. I’ve been asking for all theses products because I’ve heard so many great things about them! This has literally been my bible lol for what to ask for baby on the way and I’ve shared this with all my friends with babies on the way and the love it!!
This is a MUST SHARE to help any mom and mom with a baby on the way!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!❤️❤️❤️
All amazing products but definitely eyeballing that snoo bassinet!🙈
This is the best list I found! So happy it has things for mom to, my first baby is due in June and this list has everything I could need!
All of this is amazing! It’s been almost 10 years since the last time I had a baby so this has been so helpful!! Makes me even more excited for this little one. Thank you!!
LOVE this list! First baby on the way and I had no idea where to even start. So thankful for this!
Hands down a baby carrier!!
Sooo helpful!!! 34 weeks pregnant with my first! Thank you!💕🙌🏻
I’m pregnant with my second little girl! And need all of these in my life! Thanks for sharing!!
Such a great resource! Thank you for sharing!!
Such a helpful list!! I’m due with baby #3 (first girl) and I still forgot some of these things I needed on my registry!
This registry seriously looks amazing; an absolute dream. Lovely compilation!
Thank you for the Houdini swaddle video!
Finally pregnant with our first! I’ve saved this as it’s so helpful!
for me its a double stroller!
FTM ! This article was so helpful. Definitely can’t wait to use these tips !
Great reviews, especially for first time parents.
Super helpful list!
Looks like I’ll be doing some major online shopping!
This was literally so dang helpful even after already having a kid. I was so overwhelmed and didn’t know what all to get and a lot was hand me downs. So thank you for this!! I saved to my highlight so I can go back to this. I’m currently due March 2 and so nervous! Idk why, it’s only been 3 years lol but thank you for help!!
This entire article is extremely helpful! Even as a second time mom, things are constantly changing and it’s always nice to know what is the best out there! Thanks for sharing!
This is such a great registry, loved it as a first time mom.
This really is the best baby list ever!! I’m excited for all the things on the list but especially the dockatot! It seems like a lifesaver!
This was so helpful! I’m a new mom and definitely needed this guide. Thank you so much!!
The best baby registry! I’m having my third and can’t wait to try the snoo!!
Thanks for the great advice on products for this new mom!
I totally agree about needing belly oil to not get stretch marks!
Most excited about renting the SNOO for sure. But I added a lot of products from this list to my Amazon cart!
Swaddles!!!!! So excited to use them
Such a helpful post! Thank you so much
Thank you so much for making this! We all really appreciate it 🥰
Wow. This list is great. Thanks so much for this. Awesome read
This is a great all-inclusive baby registry! I’m about to have my 2nd child. So many new things to try since my last. Definitely agree with the Aquafor and Nose Frida, these are necessities. Thank you!
I recently had a baby, after 13 years since my last baby, and would love any of these items!
This is so helpful! Had no clue I needed so many swaddles. And loved part about what to take/wear home from hospital. So helpful for first time moms.
the mayernity dress
After having my first baby two years ago, this is such a great update that I needed! I took soooo many screenshots so I don’t forget some of the new things I want to try out! Thank you!!!
Just had my first and definitely getting a snoo! Thanks for this list!!
As a first time mom all this information was so helpful! Thank you!! 🤍🤍
Wow! This is so comprehensive and touches on literally everything! I’ve had 2 c-sections so far and I truly appreciate relatable content and thoughtful products for recovery!
Wow! Great list, much needed! Thank you!
This was so helpful!
This is a really thorough, great list. What’s the difference in how you use the solly wrap versus ergo baby carrier? Is it necessary to have both?
Hey Amanda!
Corrine said the Solly Wrap is so nice for when baby is tiny (you can use it from birth!) and it’s also amazingly convenient to squish into your diaper bag or any bag. The Ergo is definitely much more bulky but easier to carry bigger babies around for longer periods of time. You can start with the Solly Wrap and wait to get the Ergo till they’re older. Also she LOVES the brand new Solly Loop Carrier that works from 15-45 pounds, so it’s similar to the Ergo where you’d be able to use it once baby is a bit bitter 🙂
Hope that helps!
xo, Kourtney
Wow! That was through. Loved the cami review.
Great list thank you!!
Now this is a complete registry! Thank you!
Thank you for making this list! I have so many of these products as a momma of 4! I think my favorite must haves- doc-a-tot, any Frieda products, an ubbi diaper pail because you can use any trash bags, a kinderpack, and a good amount of saranoni blankets! Oh and the wubbanub!
I am always looking to update my registry lists to send to other mommas. I’ll be saving this link to pass on! You rock!
This was so helpful in creating my first baby registry! Thank you so much for your thorough and informative advice 🙂
Corrine!! My oh my this list has me beyond excited for baby number 2. I love love love love the Dockatot! It’s definitely a must have and baby uses it till this day! Also the Mamaroo, yes the only way we got sleep the first few weeks, baby loved it! I’m sure all the mamas appreciate all the work you and your babies put in to coming up with such a PERFECT list of must haves! Thank you!!

Best baby registry post! And the maternity clothes section is so helpful!
Absolutely love this – so helpful! I will be referring to it several times over the next few months! 💗
So helpful! Was looking for high chair recs!
This is such a good list! We have a few of these and love them. We also love our halo sleepsack swaddles, our babe is wiggly and loved to wiggle out of the swaddle blankets! I also recommend the Safe in the Seat course from @safeintheseat. She is amazing and has taught me so much about car seat safety! There are so many accessories sold for car seats that are actually very dangerous!
Best list for first time mom!
Honestly this is SO helpful! I’ll be a first time mom in October! And a single mom so and help and tips I will most definitely need! Love your blog!!
Thank you so much for putting together such a great list of items! So helpful 🙌🏼
Corrine,
You are truly remarkable for doing this. We are expecting our first baby and have no clue where to begin. This has given us so many great ideas and things to look into purchasing. You are a doll and so thoughtful to do this for all of us mammas out there.
Bless you,
Stephanie T.
Love everything on this list! Will be sharing with all the other expectant moms I know! Thank you!
Yes!
I’m so grateful to have found this now that I’m expecting my first baby! Thank you!
First time expecting mama ! Found this whole blog post super informative! Thank you!! 😊
Thank you so much for putting together the most helpful list I have ever seen! So glad to see recommendations for what to bring to the hospital and what I will need for me and baby after coming home!!!
This is perfect for all new moms! And me… even though I am expecting baby number 2! Still need the reminders!!
Wow! GreAt list! So many great options- I’d didnt know sollybaby made swaddles, I thought it was just then carrier!
I love this list you got together. I’m a 3rd time mom and it’s always so helpful to be reminded and updated with baby items rather than taking a risk and being upset. Thank you so much!
I am a first time mom in this list was so helpful thank you so much. I’m basically taking everything you recommend it to the hospital with me LOL ❤️
I’m 25 weeks pregnant with my 2nd boy!! They will be 19 years apart (yes I know!) and as you would imagine I need everything and I mean everything! We are just starting our baby registry and I would love to have the Snoo and the UPPA BABY VISTA stroller but they are way out of our budget unfortunately. I love all your recs ❤️
Such a great list of amazing products! Hoping to try the SNOO for baby #2 due in 10 weeks!!
This is so perfect! I love everything on this list! ❤️
I have four children (16 yr old teen, 10 year old triplets gbg) now that my kids are a bit older we decided to try for our last baby. I am now 22 weeks and so excited to enjoy my “last baby”. A lot has changed within the 10 years since I have had a baby and there’s so many pages to keep up with. For me I get so excited to see how much products have changed! I am glad if found your page so Uc an see what’s now out there, preferably DEALS!! As a mother of now going to be 5 children to me budgeting is a big deal you can always buy a great product I’ve learned keep checking on prices! Thank you for your post , I am so excited to have another baby!
This is awesome for all new moms
Thank you for all this great information!
Everything looks like a dream!!! Sadly I’m in a huge budget being a nursing student and boyfriend trying to get it all Together at the same thing as were pregnant with a baby boy due April 1st! The snoo is my dream bassinet !!! I love how you do this for others so kind of you and thoughtful! We need more people like you in this world!!!
Thank you soooo much for this! We are expecting our first baby and honestly I have been terrified about what to buy what not to buy so much that I have been putting off doing the baby registry. After reading everything that you have posted and all of the comments I seriously feel a lot more comfortable and excited to do the registry now. Everything was so helpful! This is exactly what new mommas need to read because it is amazing!! Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the baby registry list! I’m expecting my first baby in July, I’m so excited.
Thank you for this list, it really does help out first time moms like me! ❤️
As a FTM, your I found your suggestions extremely helpful. I have a lot of anxiety with creating my registries and you helped relieve some of that! I always feel like I’m forgetting something. I’m currently 16 weeks pregnant, due August 3rd and I have already started with my lists of things to do before the baby is here. Is there such a thing as “pre-nesting” because that’s how I am feeling haha. Thank you for your help!
This is such a great list!! I’m pregnant, and I think having the Snoo would be a lifesaver!!!
It’s really interesting to see how everyone has different “essentials” and the things that were picked for that list. I’m going way more minamilistic, but there was some overlap with the 4moms Breeze (I got the plus because I’m not doing a nursery) and Momaroo (second hand for $50!), as well as the Solly Wrap (also 2nd hand for $20). Congratulations on your baby!
This is an awesome list you have put together it’s very helpful to know your honest review and opinion on each item, I can’t to start baby shopping for this baby.
With every pregnancy I always come back to this list! It is is unreal. It saves me having to do researched for endless hours!! I love the idea of the mamaroo. I may have to get one for baby brother!!
Thank you so much for putting so much time into this post. I’ve been anxiously waiting for it! Such a good read for new expecting moms or even moms like me who are about to have their 5th. 💕
Thanks for sharing! Love learning about great baby products.
Copper pearl swaddles and hats are so cozy and cute for babies!
Love this list! So helpful to a first time mama to think of some items I might have overlooked!
I love all of the different deals, tips, and products! Very helpful!
Thank you so much for this incredibly insightful list. An amazing resource for a mom to be!
Love this! So helpful for soon to be moms! ❤️❤️
Even though this is my second pregnancy, it’s always nice to have lists like these for those things I can’t seem to remember!
Wow! This might be the most impressive baby blog post I’ve ever read! We are getting ready for baby #2 and I was seeing if there were any must haves this go around! We loved our dock a tot and hatch sound machine but need to check out a few things on this list like the double bob stroller!
I am LOVING this list and will probably come back to read it a few times over, it’s that good 😂 honestly biggest move I’m making coming away from this is doing an Amazon registry, I really love that you can add things from other places too. And so convenient for everyone involved. Thanks for the great tips!
Amazing!
Amazing registry recommendation is so brilliant.
For sure a MUST have is the Frida baby snotsucker and the munchkin diaper pail. I for sure could not live without those
This is so helpful thank you! I was hesitant about the use of swaddles but you’ve convinced me!
NEW MOM HERE at 21 weeks and this post is HEAVEN SENT!! 🙏🏼❤️ It answered soooo many questions and products I have been comparing. I had nooo idea about having that many swaddles and cannot wait to check out Solly Baby and get buying and creating a complete registry. Thank you so much again!!
Love this ! It’s very informative and great products
Love it!
Doc a tot is the best!!!
Thank you for taking the time to share a detailed list! This is my first pregnancy and i just started my first job as a nurse, and between the two i have had a lot of anxiety and stress. Your post helped me narrow down on the necessities so i could complete my list and it was the biggest relief! Thank you again for sharing what has worked for you!
Thank you so much for putting all this in one place-I just got rid of all my baby stuff thinking I was done then BOOM comes a fourth 🤣
This is so helpful!
So helpful!! Thank you!
This is perfect! Thank you for putting this together! I’m expecting twins in July!!
This is a great baby guide! Thanks for sharing!!
This list is great! I just had my baby girl 5 weeks ago and I can’t tell you how many hours I spent sorting through lists to see what the best options were for my baby so this list really helped me to see it all in one place!
I also obsess over baby products, and this list has always been one of my go-tos! I tried the fels-naptha bar with my first, at your recommendation. That stuff is magic!
Great list! This will help my friend having her FIRST baby. It’s so confusing to navigate everything out there and you have simplified the process: thank you!
Thank your for all of this great information!! I wish I had known about that swaddling technique 4 months ago!!!
This list is amazing, i cannot wait to try some of the things out!!
Love this!
THANK YOU so much for this!! We are getting ready to welcome another baby and a lot of my gear is outdated. There are so many options out there, this helps so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
With baby #1 coming soon, this post was SO helpful!!! ♥️
So helpful to have all of this updated information compiled in one place. This makes the idea of having another newborn even more exciting!
The belly oil is my favorite! Loved that recommendation so far!
Love all the different brands this is seriously the best giveaway!!
This is such an amazing list!! Thank you
I am currently in remission from a rare form of leukemia was told Id probably never have another child. Became pregnant i over summer, miscarried at 10.5 weeks and now currently pregnant with our rainbow baby. My kids will be almost ten years apart so I appreciate all the baby info so much!
So helpful even if you aren’t a first time mom. I love the mom recovery section. Lots of great product that can definitely make your life easier!
I learned from all of these products! I am only 2 months pregnant with my first and im doing research on it all. This was anWONDERFUL post! Thank you sooo much!
This is so helpful!
This is the best list of baby items ever!!! Thank you so much for putting it together. I’m expecting my 5th and most of my things are outdated/ worn out! I am excited about the budget friendly car seat suggestion and the hospital bag must haves!!!
So awesome! This has been such great resource during my first time pregnancy!!
The name is NO LIE! This is the best baby registry list EVER! The list is so helpful and informative! So much time went into creating this amazing tool. Thank you!
Love this!! So helpful!
Thank you! This list is exactly what I was looking for!
Definitely glad I found your informative list I instantly feel some of my anxiety being alleviated. I learned about so many products I’ve never heard of and I love the Solly Baby looks amazing to wrap my soon to he newborn in. Thanks alot.
This is the most helpful list of baby must-haves I’ve ever seen!! I’m so excited to try some new products I didn’t know about. I’m 34 weeks pregnant and reading this blog post has me feeling sooo excited for my baby’s arrival! I didn’t realize that I could create a registry on Amazon, so I’m stoked to have an easy way to share the link with friends and family, and then save myself 15% on whatever it’s left. Thank you!! ❤️
This is the perfect blog post for a first time mom, with all the best brands, ideas and helpful hints. Thank you for taking the time to post all this info.!
I love the dolly baby wraps! Can’t wait to get my hands on one. Thanks for all your amazing tips!
This was incredibly helpful thank you! Will be sharing this with some of my other soon to be mom friends! Thanks for all the work you put into this!
Wow! This was so helpful! We are due with our first in May. We are so excited, but still trying to get everything together and prepared for her arrival! I loved your post delivery care list. Thanks for sharing!
This post was so awesome and informative! Thank you! I just had my second baby, and there was so much on this list I didn’t know about!
Definitely investing in that sound machine!😃
OMG, so glad I found this site. I’m gonna bookmark this page so I have a chance to soak it all in. I love the section on maternity and baby clothing, so stylish. I will be adding lots of stuff to my registry from this page. I got my eye on the SNOO bassinet, may have to splurge!
Your baby registries are always my go-to! I share them with all of my friends and family members having babies because it is the most comprehensive and complete registry ever! I just had my third baby and I always turn to you for the latest and greatest! Everything from what to pack in my hospital bag, belly bandit, Dock-A-Tot and everything in between! Thank you for putting this together!♥️
so helpful! love it
We are getting ready to welcome another baby and this is a fabulous list. Thanks!
I’m pregnant with baby #2 so this is all wonderful!! Thanks so much for sharing!
My wife is pregnant with baby #2 so thanks so much for sharing these tips!
It would be amazing if we could just copy all of this straight into our Amazon registry! Thanks foe putting it all together!!
I love the fashion pics and tips-like the cami recommendation.
Excited to try all the recommendations, especially Dock a Tot!
I love everything about this post! I have a 17 month old and am 16 weeks pregnant with #2. I have done a lot of research for the best and affordable brands for my first. I am excited to check out some of the ones I have not heard of yet!
My mother in law told me to never clip the baby’s nails and to just bite them off but I’m definitely looking more into the frida nail clippers… I’m just not a nail biter.
So excited because this is my first baby! Thanks for this list 🥰
This is so helpful!
Such a great collection of beautiful and helpful things for mama and baby!
Love this! So helpful for new mamas!
Love this lis! Every single product is a must have and an amazing investment for new mommies!
Would love ❤️ this stuff for baby #4!!
Wow! This list is amazing 😭 saving it to send to all of my fellow expectant mama friends. Funny how I’ve been so focused on baby stuff, I haven’t even thought of recovery stuff for myself until looking over this list! 🥴 I better get on that!
Maybe one of the most detailed baby blogs I’ve ever read through. I love that it has the practicals and the not so practicals! Plus, there’s even some break down in budget. Thank you!
Wow love this!!
This is such a helpful post! Having my third baby in two months but it’s been a while so I’m out of the loop! This post has everything I needed. Thank you!
So helpful! Thanks for taking the time to curate this list for all the mamas/parents 💕
Reading your blog and all the baby/ mama tips is so helpful. I never thought that there could be so much helpful information about babies and all the helpful essentials for them. This is by far the most interesting and easy list to read.
WOW!!!!! YOU LITERALLY VALIDATED ALL MY CURRENT 1ST TIME REGISTRY PICKS! I loved your true perspective on multiple products with even giving other valuable options! Legit made a checklist while going through my registry while reading this post while hearing the podcast to reassure myself you’re actually here with me helping 🤣! So thank you!! xoxo First Time Mom (July 2021)
Love everything on this list 🙌🏼 Every item I have from your recommendations I use on a daily basis. Thanks for all the details info on all of these great products!
Such awesome recommendations for new mamas thank you for all your input and research you put it!
This is such a great read! I am due in October and I thought this was full of so much helpful information. Thank you!!
The Mother’s Special Blend belly oil is my favorite of all of your recommendations! I have now used it through 2 pregnancies and I do not have any stretch marks. Plus it feels great and honestly has helped me bond with my baby before they are even born through massaging the oil into my belly! Thanks Corrine!
Thank you for this share
Such a detailed and helpful list! Will definitely be using this when preparing for my next baby!
Thank you so much for all of this wonderful information!! I love that you have everything for the baby and mama listed! There is so much that you just don’t know you need to plan for with your first baby. I am currently pregnant with our first baby boy due next month! Thank you again for all of this detailed information!
This is an amazing comprehensive registry list! I want it all!
Thanks! Very helpful!
This is amazing!! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything!
Awesome list for both new mamas and those who are going to have another!
So helpful as I’m getting ready for my first! Thanks for putting this list together. 💛🙌🏻
Awww this is so helpful! Thank you so much 😍
Wow this is awesome thank you for sharing! I’m expecting baby and never had baby shower in my life… we still need sooooooo much… keep doing it sweetie
Love this list, especially all fridababy recommendations!
This list is so thoughtful! The SNOO and the dockatot changed my life with my second
Love love love this!!!
Haven’t had a baby in 4 years so this is definitely very helpful! Thank you so much momma!
Great, thorough post for this first time mom. Thanks!
Belly support all the way!!! I don’t know what I would do without my belly band!
The best list I’ve come across! As a first time mom, information like this is incredibly valuable! Pinning and using for a reference throughout my pregnancy ❤️
I’ve been looking for something like this! It’s perfect
This is just what I needed, it’s so helpful!
This is just what I needed, it’s so helpful! Great recommendations!
Such a good round up! You’re always so detailed and helpful in your product recommendations!
SO thrilled you updated your list 🙌🏼 I loved your list when I had my first baby in 2014, and am excited to have this resource for (hopefully) future babies!
Building our registry and this could not be more helpful. Thank you for this!!
Such a great and informative list! Thanks for putting it together! Currently pregnant with my second and would love to try the Dock-A-Tot!
Thank you for putting this list together ! Currently pregnant with baby #2 almost 4 years later so I’m looking forward to buying a few things on this list! With my son I loved the docatot it was a lifesaver !
If only I had this list when we were expecting our baby girl! So helpful! By far the most thorough and thoughtful baby blog I’ve read. Sent it to my sister-in-law to help her prepare for her first!😊 And will definitely be coming back to re-read when preparing for further babies! Thank you!
So much useful information !
Thanks for all the suggestions!
Good read for a first time mom! Definitely helps with the suggestions.
Thanks for the suggestions for camis at Target! I’m newly post partum and I’ve been looking for new shirts.
Wow!
This was an amazing list!
It was so helpful, especially for first time Mums!
I am telling all my friends and family who are expecting to read it!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share it! ❤️
This list has been so helpful!
Thank you! This is so helpful!
The Baby Cubby Travel System would be the most useful
This is such a wonderful list!! I have so many of the items listed above from my first babe born in 2017, but this second babe needs a few new items! Will for sure be buying a solly baby wrap this go around!
Thank you for this!
This list is the gold mine of pregnancy lists!!!!
I could not LOVE this list more!!
Love this list! So excited for everything. Thanks for pulling it all together!
Great list! I love the reminder to get stretch mark oil 🙂 Thanks!
Yes! A white noise machine is a must. Thanks for including that sanity saver. We love how thorough this is!
Thanks for the reminder to bring an extra long phone charger cord & dry shampoo to the hospital! This list is amazing. You don’t forget anything & the recommendations are wonderful for all budgets.
So so thankful for this list!! I will definitely be referring back to it often!
Where is the fur bonnet from worn with the white l’oved baby jammies?
HERE is the link! 🙂 -Kourtney
First time mom over here, baby boy due in March, and this list is so incredibly helpful! Any recommendations for a bassinet/bedside sleeper (that is cheaper than the Snoo)? Thank you again for such a wonderful list and so many good tips
Hey Katie! Congratulations!! This bassinet is great, and this one would be really great especially while you’re recovering! xo, Kourtney
Thanks so much Kourtney! Thinking of going with the halo. Appreciate it!
I am having my first baby (girl) in May, and this list is saving my life for the baby registry! I was clueless until I read this. Thank you so much for sharing all the helpful tips!! I just bought some tummy oil, and added almost everything to my “Amazon wish list”
this whole list was so helpful as a guide to everything i need while pregnant as well as when i have the baby!!! thank you so much for this and for all the thought behind it!!
Expecting baby #1 in June. This was so helpful!!
So much good information! I’m going to have to read it all again when it’s time to pack my bag
This is SO helpful since I’m expecting my first in June! The stretch mark oil has already been a game changer! Thanks so much for putting this together!💙
Great recommendations! Thanks for the thorough research
Thank you for all your hard work putting this together! It’s so helpful! I’ve read through it for each of my babies
I have honestly referred to this list 100x + this pregnancy making sure I have everything I need. This is gold!🙏🏼
Corrine!! This is a lifesaver… super helpful checklist..
Going to recomend it for everyone. thank you for making our lives easier.
All of this stuff is amazing! Hope to win!
This is sooooo helpful. Having a baby in 4 months and this is an all-in-one guide VS trying to find a different one for each category!!
Thank you so so much!! I came to this post before even starting my registry. So so helpful. Thank you!! 💕
Yay. Things have changed so much since I had a baby and I am so excited for a grandbaby! Thanks for the feedback!
WOW!
Being pregnant with our second child, i thought i was so educated and prepared but after reading this, i ran to my registry and added so much. I’ve also done so much research on the stuff that i did put on, and did remove some.
This was the most helpful post i have EVER read.
Thank you!
Literally scoured over this for hours when I had my baby a year ago! It is so good! I love seeing the update!
Thank you so much for this amazing list! Pregnant with baby number two and it’s so nice to have a list to remember all the things I need and get new ideas!
Wow this is so great! Thank you!
Awesome list! Mama recovery recs are great!
Such amazing suggestions and love hearing why you love them! So so helpful in this season of life of having babies!
Love, love, love this list! Great selections.
Love the tips for c-section postpartum! I’m a c-section momma myself, and you don’t see this very often! Yes to the disposable underwear I literally just bring depends with me to the hospital even cause I like them better than the mesh undies! And to the house gowns because I never wanted pants on my scar.
I love how thorough and relatable this all is! Thank you!
Thank you! Such a great post!!! Sharing this with my SIL who is hoping to get pregnant soon
Wow so nice.
So many great tips!
Thank you for such a comprehensive list for a first timer. I need this badly!
This is awesome to read because as a new mom it’s overwhelming trying to get everything and the right products but I loved how much this helps!
This is my favorite of all your posts. I am a mom of three and have come back to this post during each pregnancy as I prepare for each baby. It is so helpful! Thank you!
Such good recommendations!
Thanks for keeping this updated. Number 4 is on the way and I still check to see what’s new!
Such a great list and love the revisions. I am pregnant with my second and found your list helpful… AGAIN! Always nice to have someone else to compare lists, products, etc to learn and confirm (did you ever try BioOil? It seems to worked great with my first to prevent stretch marks). Looking forward to trying some of these things other items with our baby boy… I went all pink with our girl so time to restock!
Wow!!! So many great recommendations! My first grand baby is coming next month (SO EXCITED) , love all the ideas. Thanks!
Some great recs here! As a c-section mama, I agree with all of the related advice. Add compression socks to that list!
As a FTM REALLY appreciate such a thorough list!!
Love ALL of these!! So excited to try some new things!
Awesome Registry Baby Items! Personally I love to use the swaddles. 💕
Love, love this list!! SO many awesome and cute items!
This helped me a lot special it being my first pregnancy
The best registry guide ever!
I wish I had this when I was pregnant!! This is so helpful!
This is awesome and very informative! I especially liked the list about what to bring to the hospital for mom! Thank you!
The most helpful product recommendations for mom & baby are the belly band and the swaddles. Both are a definite must. You are going to want and need the belly band during pregnancy, specially in second and third trimester when the belly is growing. I loved the Aiden & Anais swaddles for baby, as my little one could not sleep without being swaddled, A& A swaddles are soft, does it’s job and have the cutest prints.
These tips are amazing thank you so much!!
thanks for the comprehensive list! love the tubby todd products!
A lot of great information! Thank you 🙂
This list is really helpful! We are planning on having our first baby this year. I’m in my 40’s and it is so helpful to see what others suggest and what they love and why. 💗😊
I love everything on your list, it definitely helps a momma decide on what to get for baby., the snoo and dockatot is a win for me.
Wow such good info!!
Such a comprehensive list! I’m pregnant with baby #2 and researching a dockatot this time around – wonderful information!
We just had baby number one and the diaper advice was much needed!! I loved going through all the things that worked for you too. Such helpful advice!
💗💗
And I thought I was a swaddle fanatic. After having a baby girl at 36 after having 2 boys 16 & 12 these swaddles were amazing!!! I love all of them.
Actually the best collective list of baby products!
Love it!!
What an awesome list. You’ve literally thought of everything!
This is soooo sooo helpful! As a first time mom it’s overwhelming to see all the products out there and brands and which is best. Thank you for all the reviews and links! This will be my go to registry list
This was so helpful my first pregnancy I was a teen mom with not much money and I couldn’t really purchase a lot of maternity clothing or a belly band. I will definitely be doing it with my next. I will definitely send this to all of my friends who are expecting.
I’ve used and loved many of these recommended products but I’m so grateful for the updated list as baby things change constantly! It’s also super helpful to see the splurge verses save options! Can’t wait to use this list for my next baby! 💗
Great suggestions!! ♥️
This list is so HELPFUL!! We loved our baby bjorn bouncer
Super helpful. I am sending it to my darling pregnant daughter in law right now. A lot has changed since I had kids 🙂
Wow this is all so amazing! Thank you for sharing! As a new mom, I LOVE my solly wrap! Don’t know what I would do without it!
So helpful!! Thanks!
This is BY FAR the best baby needs blog I have read. Multiple options from multiple experiences. A mix of what you need and what is a splurge. This was refreshing and didn’t feel like it was full of “sponsored” reccomendations.
These are such good recommendations and suggestions! I’m having my second baby in May and love referring to posts like this.
Thank you for this list! SO helpful now I can start my registry 🙂
First time mom and this was so thorough and so helpful!!!
Totally agree about just using the hospital gown! I thought I wanted my own… until I realized then I’d have to be the one to clean it 😬😂
My oldest are 8 and 5, and I’m currently pregnant with my 3rd, so I have been out of the baby game for a bit. I’m so happy to have this list. It’s been so helpful because I feel like there has been a huge shift in baby products since I had my last. Thank you!
Most comprehensive list ever!! I love that there are so many recommendations in one place, for all the things I’m looking for. This was super helpful.
Wow, this is the most informative list I’ve ever read! Thank you for this!! Sending to all my girlfriends! 🙂 Baby coming this summer and I’ll be coming back to check this list over and over!
This post was so helpful!
I’m so grateful for this list 🥲 I have surprise baby #3 coming in April and my youngest will be 18 months. Thinking that he was our last we got rid of almost all of our baby items! Being able to look at a compiled list saved me with so much going on at home and not being able to think about a baby registry! This makes me excited for baby girl in a few weeks!
Wish I came across this with my first baby! Even with my second baby I still felt lost. I’m having my 3rd baby in May and honestly this guide is so helpful on the things you truly need or even might want to consider.
Wow! So helpful. I’m pregnant with my third and still feel like I don’t have the postpartum necessities for myself figured out so that was great info! Thank you!!
The frida mom kit is the best thing I could ask for!!! I’m not super nervous to give birth, I’m more worried about after birth and how long it takes to recover. I have the whole 5 step kit!
So excited to use a mothers special blend! Stretch marks no more!
I love the information about the tubby todd products! i’m having my first baby in april and i’ve been looking into which products i want to use on his skin! i’ve heard great things about tubby todd and i love your info about it on this post! i’m super excited to use it on my sweet baby!
Loving all the information that is provided here and the comparisons between products. This help me have a good grasp on some new things I am going to try with my second coming soon.
Such a great list! So helpful for me and baby shower gift ideas.
This was the number one template I used when making my registry!! I loved it because it hit on every category I needed and I didn’t feel like I was putting on a bunch of “junk”. This and the post part guide are my JAM!
So thorough and helpful, particularly when I had baby #1! I love the postpartum tips and supplies since those often get overlooked, but are so necessary!
So helpful to have all your go-to products in one place! You didn’t skip anything!!!
Wow, even a seasoned mother can learn a thing or two from this. Fabulous ideas.
This post is SUPER helpful! I have 2 little boys and am pregnant with a 3rd baby (due April 4th) and have realized that so many products have changed since my youngest was a baby over 3 years ago! I’ve been on the market for a new car seat and breast pump and this was really helpful. Everything else was helpful to remember things I have forgotten about having babies! Thanks for all the info, that couldn’t have been an easy task getting it all together!
This has got to be the MOST helpful and detailed post and it took away so much unnecessary time from searching and reading different articles all at once! It has helped me as a first time mom since Day 0. Thank you so much xoxo
WOW. This is the most comprehensive Baby List Recommendations I’ve ever read! Thank you SO much for this ! Every detail is SO helpful. I’m a first time mom who has been on an infertility journey and getting pregnant has been SUCH a blessing, but I’ve definitely been overwhelmed once I was actually able to get pregnant. This list has been so helpful and has made me feel more empowered to making purchase decisions for our growing family! I think my favorite part is all of the recommendations for items to pack in the hospital bag ! Since I’ve never done this before, the list is so comprehensive and goes over things I would never think of !!! Thank you so much Corrine and the Mint Arrow Team !!!
This is seriously the ultimate guide! I’m a second time mom and still found this to be so helpful especially with the age gap I have! So much changes in the baby world in just a few years.
I wish I had this list before having our babe 😩 that being said it is still SO helpful! It confirmed a few things I’ve been researching debating if they’re needed or not & I’m also ruuuunning to get us some Tubby Todd! I had never heard of it but we have recently had some issues with sensitive skin so I’m hoping this will do the trick!
FINALLY! The best detail on everything you’ll need. Feeling more prepared for being a first time mom!
This is great! I am about to have my fourth baby. My youngest will be 3 when baby is born. This is the biggest gap we have had between kids, and even though I know it isn’t that big of a gap, I am having to refresh on some baby things. This is a great list as I have tried some of these and am looking for some new things. We have also done babywise with all of our babies and it’s been the biggest blessing to our family! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Great list for new moms and seasoned moms!
Tons of good info especially when I’m looking for places to put baby registry’s and how to combine them with the best deals but also unique styles. Something that’s organized and easy. Plus it’s super helpful learning about maternity clothes and finding styles that still make me feel cute ❤️
I’m pregnant with my second baby and have referenced this list so many times! So many great recommendations.
I’m going to be honest, I just had baby #3 and shopping was SO hard. My mind just blanked on everything. I’m beyond thankful to have the guidance to finish up!
This list is amazing! It literally has everything one needs to get started!
So grateful for this amazing list! My rainbow baby will be here in less than 3 weeks by a scheduled C-section and after reading this extensive list, I feel so much relief knowing what to bring/not bring to the hospital.
I also appreciate the super detailed descriptions of the items and why you recommend them!
Thanks Corinne!
Love this! Pregnant with my third but it’s amazing how much you can forget since the last one. This is a practical and realistic list and I now I don’t have to start a list from scratch with my mom brain🤪
Absolutely loved this baby registry list. Love how every aspect or pregnancy, hospital stay, and at home post birth are covered in this registry. I also loved how there are so many options, budget friendly options and items that you might splurge on. Thanks so much for putting this list together for expecting moms.
Wow, this is all the information I wish I’d had before my son was born! My registry with him was just kind of thrown together last minute, but for my next baby this list will be invaluable.
Loved this baby registry guide! I’ve already had my first baby but there was still lots of helpful tips and things that I wish I would’ve had the first time so this was super helpful!
Wow!!! What an amazing post as a first time mom this is very helpful 👍🏼😁 it has all the info that I need and more.
Such a well thought out list!
I love this registry! Every item is definitely a must have for babies!
As a new grandmother of twins, your post helped me catch up on what’s new and best in the baby world. Great article! I shared it with my daughter-in-law.
Lot of amazing info!!
Lots of great information in this. Thank you so much! It’s so hard to find good info out there like this but it’s all put together here and easy to understand!❤️🙌

This post has helped me so much, I referred to it with my first baby and now my second is due any day! I especially love the hospital bag packing list!

This is an amazing post! Definitely one to save and come back to, it has tons of great information and recommendations!
So many amazing items! The belly oil is also my fave!
Thanks so much for all the tips! This will be my third baby and I feel like with each baby there are new things that help make life easier!
I will be sharing this with all moms new and adding to the family moms
Such a amazing article with great information!
Tubby Todd is a lifesaver for sensitive skin and so is the frida nail file! Can’t wait to use our Saranoni swaddles for our girl coming in the next few weeks!!!
We loved the Dock a tot and the snoo! Total game changers!
Think I’m ready to go shopping now!
This is so much awesome stuff! Thank you for writing this. I love the tubby Todd for my kids and I used the mamaroo swing also. All great products!
Love this! Super helpful for me!
Oh I needed this!!! I wish I had this before my first pregnancy, but SO thankful to have all this amazing advice now for my second pregnancy and my twins! It is seriously the ultimate guide!!!
So grateful for this and the help it’s given and the guide it has been being pregnant and trying to get prepared! This is so helpful!!
I love the helpful tips about stretch mark oil! It’s so hard to find a good one!
I love my Nuna Pipa car seat and base! And the momma Frida bottle sprayer was a life saver postpartum!
As a first time mom, I love seeing a registry list from an experienced mom! It’s really reassuring to see what worked for you throughout the years. Thank you!
Loved everything about this article and all of your recommendations!! Thank you for this!
This is such an all encompassing registry list! I especially love the maternity wear, car seat and hospital bag recommendations🤩
Such a great list! I was definitely not afraid of the maternity close, just wish there was cuter stuff haha
As someone who researches a subject to death I loved finding someone who does the same thing and added their own experience! I’m going into this alone and so excited, but I love the thought of forming a virtual community you can learn from. Thank you Corrine!
My baby came 2 months early and has been in the NICU and this list has helped so much! Thank you!!
So many helpful tips! Everything looks so cute! Thanks so much for sharing 💕
Love this! Very helpful list! Thank you!
There are soo many useful items that you mention, things I didn’t even realize 🙂 thanks for sharing!
Love the Dockatot! A must for new parents, and I know it’s going to get a ton of use when #2 arrives in a few weeks!
This article and all advice are amazing. Thank you so much.
After 4 losses, I’ve been so anxious overwhelmed in where to start with my registry as a first time mom. this has become my Bible for this part of part of my journey! It’s so helpful to have it all in one place 💕 thank you!
Loved how extensive this list was with explanations. Thank you!
I never even thought of a belly band for afterwards. Thank you for the suggestion!
This post is like finding gold! I am pregnant with my first and it’s about time to start creating a baby registry, which is so overwhelming! This is so helpful to not only trust what is worth it, but also gauge how many of something we might want. Thank you!
I love how this list includes so much stuff for mamas!! I feel like most registry list are soo baby focused… but mamas need things too!!!
Thank you for all the great ideas!!
This is such a great comprehensive list! As someone who already has two kids and is starting to prep for a third, this really helps me decide what’s important and what’s holding up. The best recommendations are about what’s for mom! Everyone always wants to buy the baby stuff but mom could benefit SO MUCH from these thoughtful things. Thank you!
nose frida! so weird, but so helpful
All these are such great recommendations for when you have a baby. I’ve always wanted a Dock a Tok.
First time mama in just a few short months, this is so helpful. I didn’t realize I would need so many swaddles. On my way to by more right now!! You’re a lifesaver.
Thank you so much for the recommendations! I’m also a FTM so this was helpful- even for hospital bag checklist! I can’t wait to share with my friend who is a FTM also!
Such an awesome round up of baby must haves! Thank you for sharing your thoughts favorites, so helpful!
So for my second pregnancy I had learned quite a lot. AfterEase helped so much with the harder contractions after baby was born as my uterus was downsizing. I didn’t know about this with my first, but it was a life saver and honeypot co post partum pads. I buy all my first momma friends “The Everyday Mother” after it was gifted to me. It’s a book that helps you keep track of feedings and momma too. Especially in the early days when you figure out what baby does and does not like when nursing(my first couldn’t handle most greens and a few other things. I kept track thanks to this book and was able to use for fast recalls). Your list is very interesting read, so thank you for putting together for momma’s.
Such a good tip to have lots of swaddle blankets! We definitely go through a couple a day with our little guy!
So much helpful information!
I love the sully swaddle blanket!!
All so good!!! Searching high and low for stretch mark oil that is recommended
Absolutely LOVE the Hofish nursing bras!!! So affordable and comfy!
Trying to prep for a first time baby and I’ve been wondering, what the heck do you even get, where to start?? This list is amazing, definitely saving it for registry time.
Thank you!! This has been so helpful. I got so excited when I saw maternity tanks!
We’re expecting our third baby, our first girl, and I was surprised by how useful this list was.
I had my first in 2012 too and I agree with so much on this list! It is always helpful to hear that other moms agree or raves about better solutions. I still find that true while I’m near to having my 6th this March.
I love that this is so thorough.
This post has been super helpful! I’m 28 weeks pregnant with my first and still need quite a few things and one of those things is a stroller. I’m so glad you talked a bout the Vista. It’s been at the top of my list but have been hesitant and wonder of if it’s worth the investment when I only have one kid so far. This post helped me finally make up my mind and I am sold! Thank you for all your input and suggestions!
This post was so incredibly helpful!!!! I am expecting my second baby and having an updated list to reference saved me so much time and energy! Love love love! Thank you!!!!!
FTM here and this is so helpful! Thank you so much
Thanks for doing all the dirty work for me! Just found out I’m pregnant for the first time and am overwhelmed by all the things I’m going to need. I will be checking this list for the next 9months to make sure I’m all ready!
This was so thorough and well organized! The tip about bringing your own swaddles (which I didn’t do with my first) was helpful. You also reminded me to add the Friday mom stuff to my registry which I hadn’t yet. And I added those nursing bras to my cart and will buy this week! Thanks for all the tips!
As a grandparent, I find this list so insightful and helpful in finding the BEST baby gifts for my children. Thank you
The holy grail of all things baby registry. I send this to all of my friends and it’s always received with so much gratitude. Such helpful insight, thank you Corrine
I just had my second baby 8 weeks ago and this list was on POINT! I loved that oil too, I used it with my second and still no stretch marks! Going to look into that mattress you mentioned!
You are AMAZING! Thank you for putting all of your favorite baby must haves into one complete post! I’m having my first baby in July and trying to figure out what we will need is pretty overwhelming! This list is so comprehensive and gives me a great place to start! I loved your hospital checklist for mom and baby! So helpful!
Hi! I read your Baby Guide and was so happy I did! It left me with so much insight and I connected with you on some things that we think we need but not until we try it we realize okay not so much. Lol. It’s a trail and error and honestly a learning experience with baby gear. There is so much advice out here I’m glad I found your take on this since you have raised kids and had different delivery experiences. It really helps to learn and not feel alone in this parenting journey. There are ups and downs and your suggestions and well advised picks are genuine and a must to consider. Thank you so much for taking your time to write this and share with us! Wish you the best and keep being awesome!
the nursing pads have changed the game for me! I gift them in every baby gift now because I love them so much
Not a FTM but still found this extremely helpful! Thank you!
Such a thoughtful and thorough post – we love our Nuna carseat and omg YES to the colace!!
Woah that was so informative! And such wonderful products! Thank you!
Can’t wait to try the stretch marks oil!
Love all this info so many items to add to registry. Thank you
Ok, as a first time momma I have been told horror stories about stretch marks and how some say it’s just part of pregnancy. While that may be so, I have been so lucky to avoid stretch marks completely while currently at the end of my first pregnancy. The secret?!?! Mother’s special blend oil. I use it EVERYDAY after showering or bathing and my skin looks incredible. SO GLAD this was recommended to me early… and needed to pass it on! ❤️❤️❤️
I cannot tell you how helpful the breast pump recommendations were! 🤍 there are so many out there but this helped clarify so much! 👏🏽
Hospital Must Haves, Super Helpful for 1st timers!
This whole article is amazing and so helpful for me. I’m a first time mom expecting in July and feeling slightly overwhelmed. Everyone seems to have their own opinions and it gets stressful but this really breaks it all down and helped me not feel as overwhelming. Will definitely be adding swaddles to my hospital bag and frida mama things to my registry!!!
This is the most comprehensive, amazing list!! Can’t tell you how many times I have gone back to reference this, even after my baby was born!
Love this list! As a mom of a toddler, I’m way too busy to research all of these but this post has made that so much easier! Thanks for sharing!
My Solly Baby wrap was my best friend with my first! And I’m sure it will be with my second. I also love the solly baby crib sheets!
This list was extremely helpful! Definitely going to have to try the Solly baby wrap considering I only had the Ergo with my first! Thank you so much for this truly! 🤍
Is a an amazing article! So many wonderful recommendations! From the hospital top needed items to clothes for the new mom, to ideas for the nursery! A lot of information here but so totally worth it! Wow thank you
Wow! That’s by far the most comprehensive list of things we need! So awesome. My favorite sections are about lotions and self-care for mommy!
Okay, this was SO HELPFUL. A plethora of information I’ve already purchased the laundry detergent recommended and am creating my Amazon registry. Thank you for making this!
Everything about this was so helpful for a first time mom! Now I just need to start my registry! Thanks!
This is gold to a tired pregnant mama who is overwhelmed with all the options for a new baby! Definitely my go to list 🙌🏻
Seriously such a great list! Helps narrow down the endless amounts of different baby product options and stuff for mom too! Thanks for providing such great information.
This list is so helpful! I am pregnant with my first and have been so lost on what I need and what products are must haves vs just nice to have. I’ve added so many of these items to my own registry! Thank you for taking the time to do this for me!!
Okay. I thought I was an expert on baby stuff since I already have one boy and pregnant with my second, turns out I am not. You are. Hahaha this is such a great list, will be so helpful with my 2nd!!
I’m pregnant with #6, and this list was very helpful. I think you’ve convinced me on tubby Todd and the willow breast pump. Probably some other things too.
Amazing! Such a helpful and thorough post!!
Wow! I feel like this guide doesn’t miss anything. We are trying for baby #2 and I feel a little more in the know than the first time round and have already discovered some of the amazing things you cover. On the other hand the stroller recommendations are super helpful. I’ve been trying to figure this out for awhile now. Thanks for all the work you put into these posts.
Wow. Thank you SO MUCH. THIS is the list I’ve been waiting for!!!!
Btw the Nuna Pipa options have changed! They now have a lite rx with a belt path!! 💜
-Beth
There are so many products out there it can be super overwhelming! Thanks for helping us narrow down what we need vs what we don’t!
Cami and Robes so so helpful. Thank you for sharing all this information.
Love this list!! Helps narrow down the important things-love them all!
Mint arrow has been such a huge resource as a mother from products, to deals and life tips, and I love introducing others to Corrine and her pages.
My support belt is SAVING me during these last few weeks of pregnancy! Thank you for the rec! 💛
I appreciate you making this list for me and my Mama friends! It can be so stressful making sure you have all of the right things for this precious baby, and you went above and beyond for so many of us and made a list of the BEST things and that means so so much! Such a huge help and relief! I’m due in July with my little miracle baby 🙂
I found this list so helpful!! First time mom of twins and i literally went section by section adding your recommendations to my registry. I really didn’t know where to begin or the random essentials you need, especially in the middle of the night. I feel a bit relieved after reading through your list! Thank you
This is amazing and sooo helpful! I am a first time mom and need all of the help I can get! 💗💗💗 thanks for sharing!
I need the snoo!! Such an amazing bassinet. I loved reading this guide as a first time mama to be. Thanks Corinne!
I love all these picks! Super helpful when there’s so many things out there to choose from!
This is so so helpful for me about to be a first time mom. I had no idea what I would need and this calmed so many fears that I have been stressing over. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to put together such a comprehensive list! I’m sending this blog to a friend who is expecting in April.
SO amazing! I love that all of this in in one place! I love that pictures and details are included and unsponsored! Thank you so much!
I am so glad you update this same post and all the information can be found in one place!
Loved this! After baby girl number two I cleared out all of my baby gear, but surprise baby boy is on his way now!
This is like an encyclopedia of awesome information. Thank you so much for the compilation.
I love how helpful this is! Thank you for putting this all together it’s going to come in handy!
Amazon is for sure the best baby registry. So easy!
Second time momma here. With my first I was 18 and single. I was so lost and only had the help from my mom who had her last 9 years prior. I love her, but she wasn’t much help. I round two, 5 years later, I am married and still just as lost! Can I just say how helpful this post was! From pregnancy, building a registry and postpartum care! All my mom anxiety is calmed. Thank for for sharing all the ins and outs, links and advice that most people need to hear!
This is so helpful!!
Best,
Natalie
The best list!!! I got some of these with my first, but now pregnant with my second and will definitely have to try a few more 🙌🏻
Agreed with so many! Need to try a few more that I’ve never heard of. I love the info!
This is so helpful!! I’m pregnant with baby number 3 and feel just as overwhelmed with everything this time! I borrowed a lot with my first two, so this list is SO helpful! Thank you!
Love this! Definitely agree that swaddle blankets are a must! My baby was so cold in the hospital!
Super helpful, I will try this with my second. Very excited to try new products
That swaddle trick is AMAZING. Wish I would’ve known about it before transitioning out of the swaddle!
This is so insanely helpful! My babies are so big now and I’m due late this spring with baby #3 and have felt so out of the loop. SO much has changed in 5 years, it’s inane! This is such a helpful little refresher 🧡
What a perfect list. Just what I have been looking for! Thank you!
This is soooo sooooo helpful for a first time mom! So much great advice. Thanks for putting it all together!
SO helpful and convenient to have great recommendations for all the things in one place. It has saved me tons of time doing the research myself! Thank you!
So helpful especially because we are about to have our second, we moved across the country from all our family and friends, my husband is in PA school so we have 0 income, and I’m scrambling trying to keep up with my toddler boy and prep for a baby girl!
I love the extensive list of baby items! I learned a lot about products I’ve not seen before! Thanks for the list!
I am so impressed by this list! I just wish I found it sooner! I’m still on the lookout for some good postpartum recovery tips & things to bring to the hospital so I especially liked your advice for that! Thank you!! I’ll definitely be buying some of the things you mentioned. That house dress looks sooo cozy & cute!! Thanks for all the work you put into this!
This is the best, my comprehensive list I have ever come across! It is so helpful. I love that you include items for every stage from pregnancy, to birth, hospital stay and needs at home. Thank you!
This list is great for Grandmas too! It’s a perfect gift guide!
Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together! 🥰
This is amazing! I just had my 4th a month early and am so ill prepared. Thank you for all the advice/suggestions. It is very helpful! xo
Amazing registry recommendations! Love the dockatot!
So helpful! It would be nice to have links on the top though that could jump to certain sections. I love how thorough this is!
This list is amazing!! I’m having my 6th and I have gotten rid of a lot of my baby things. There are definitely a few things I need to get.
This is the most comprehensive list I’ve seen! Thanks for all the recommendations! I’m pregnant with my first baby and this definitely helps take the stress out of knowing what I need and what’s the best out there.
Such a helpful list!! My favorite registry items are swaddle blankets and basic toiletries like baby wash, lotion, etc. – you just never know when you’re going to run out of those and it’s so nice having extras on hand. For mamas, definitely have to agree that the Frida mom washer is a total game changer!
I love the hospital bag must haves and the how many diapers section! Being the youngest of 4 sisters there is a lot of stuff I’ve picked up over time with all their momming and babies but there are so many random things I haven’t even thought about! I’m mostly feeling very overwhelmed for the little things surrounding labor. SO HELPFUL! Thanks!
I love so many things on the registry.
BEST LIST EVER. As a first time expecting parent this is just the list I needed.
Love it!
So helpful! Can’t wait to use this for when we have baby number 2.
Thank you so much for such a comprehensive list of amazing products. So helpful for baby number 3!
This might actually be the most thorough and useful registry list I’ve ever seen! I appreciate that you gave multiple stroller options with some comparisons instead of just one! I’m not sure I can bring myself to splurge on the Vista when we’re getting ready for our next baby but it’s nice to know there are some comparable strollers for less!
I love that it helps/guides parents, specially first time parents to know what they need and don’t need for their bundle of joy making less stressful. Thank you!!! ❤️
Expecting baby #2 and I’m so glad there’s much more helpful products continuing to come out in the market specially making our lives much easier with our babies 🙏❤️
Love the info on the Amazon registry!! Thanks so much!
So helpful, thank you!
I like that this post is so extensive and covers a little bit from pretty much every category!
This has helped me during my first baby and now during my second five years later! I love how everything is in one spot! Thank you!!!!
Love the nursing cover and nursing bra recommendations!! So helpful!
This list is everything. With so many baby items out there, it can be so overwhelming navigating those quality items. Your list definitely helped put this mama’s mind at ease and was a helpful resource to share with friends and family.
THE HOLY GRAIL FOR ALL EXPECTING DADS
As a first time mom to be but a nanny for over 10 years I’ve been so confused on what I need/what’s new and better than before and this was AMAZING!
Going back to change and add things to my registry! Long but very helpful list, thank you!
Expecting next month and although it’s my 4th pregnancy there were so many great tips in this post that I needed! Thanks for all the advice!
Such a great baby guide! Thank you for this!!
This is a very helpful article, especially to first time moms. It covers all the basics and more.
I came to this for ideas when I was pregnant with my first four years ago, and now that I’m pregnant with my second, I had to come back again to check and refresh myself on what I need to get ready because it’s just so good and so comprehensive. Thanks, Corrine!
I love how comprehensive this list is, but also nothing unnecessary is included. Great focus on the essentials and not overwhelming.
Love this list! Really need to get a Solly wrap for baby #2 coming in June!
Great post!
Just had a baby and this is so helpful! Thank you!
I’ve been looking forward to this update! I’m due with baby #2 in a few weeks and this is so helpful! Thank you!
This is an amazing! Such thorough information. I especially appreciate the c-section part. It’s important to take care of that scar.
It’s always interesting to see what other moms loved or found helpful contrasted to what I did. I do homebirth instead of hospital but I definitelyagree with take your makeup and stuff to freshen up but I disagree on not getting a comfortable pretty laboring/ birthing gown. I’d be so uncomfortable in a hospital gown! And as a former CPST the car seats you chose definitely aren’t my favorites but I know a lot of moms really like the Doona.
So helpful! Thank you!
Love the Noodle & Boo wipe recommendation! Soon to be Mama here (May ‘23) and always wondered how to keep baby clean when waiting for the umbilical cord to fall off. Love this quick and easy solution!
The baby registry and preparation process has been very stressful for me and my husband. This article helped condense a lot of things!
This is such an amazing extensive list!
This is one of the MOST all inclusive lists ever. Not to mention great quality products. Currently pregnant with baby #2 and this list will be SO helpful for me! Saving it for reference to come back to!
I love everything about this post! Super helpful!
Okay, this is really helpful! Saving to come back to later for sure!! 😍
Super helpful! Definitely saving to come back to later! 😍
Best baby needs blog ever! We use some of these already!
The most helpful!!!
This is amazing!! I’m also pregnant with my fifth little one right now. Babies are such a blessing
Love all these recs! Super helpful!
Love all the valuable info
Such an awesome list and some great reminders as a second time mom due in October!
This is great information! I look forward to sending other mamas to you page!
Great Registry items!!! New mommies take a look!
exciting times
It would be a dream to win all of these!!! I have a newborn right now and I’d love to have all these essentials
So many good product recommendations!
Love this! 🥰
Such a helpful list of items due with my rainbow baby in May. We cannot wait to meet him.🌈
Love the belly oil, leaves my skin so buttery soft! Thank you for the recommendation!
This whole thing is amazing! Having a comprehensive list of what are the must haves from pregnancy all the way through baby being here is a HUGE deal you really can’t find!
I love all of the suggestions and items! It’s so nice to have a list that actually covers everything instead of just “popular” items! Thank you! I can’t wait to try some of them!
So much helpful advice here, thanks for sharing!
LOVE LOVE!!! So helpful for a new momma!
Wow, talk about comprehensive! This is something I can reference again and again. You truly have made it your work to help us mamas out and the love and dedication surely shines through. I honestly had no idea about the number of swaddles needed! I can’t wait to share this with friends and other mamas; two family members are due later this year and this is already in a text to them!
So I didn’t not know Amazon is now having a registry that links other websites. I had an Amazon registry with all 4 kids but this last time I made one with babylist because the fact I could link some items from smaller businesses. If I have another kiddos I’ll be using this Amazon as my main list again. Also really love the high chair… we have one already but I like the looks of this one and baby girl is just about ready for solids…
So much information and a variety of things which is always useful and wonderful for new parents. Loved the Amazon baby registry information
This is so helpful! I love the save and splurge options!
This is amazing!
I am 6 days PP and got the Belly Bandit and it is the best thing for my c-section recovery. I would definitely recommend it to everyone. There also many other things on this list that I have and would like to try but the BB is my #1!
This would be a dream, as we are welcoming our son in July!!
Love this list have already sent to my new mom friends! 🙌❤️
Such a blessing someone will receive
Amazing looks!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to put together this incredible and comprehensive list of baby and mama stuff. You are the best and your recommendations are always spot on!
This was exactly what the doctor ordered for an anxious first time mom like myself needed. I appreciate the time it must’ve taken to be so comprehensive in this post! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
This is an AMAZING resource for mamas like me who have been “out of the baby game” for several years. I have felt so lost when trying to compile a registry for our rainbow baby. This is so, so great! Thank you!
I seriously saved hundreds with the Amazon registry! And the Solly wrap I’m obsessed with. 😍
Wow this list is so legit and love that it gets updated!
This is SUCH a well put-together list. Thank you thank you!!
these giveaways are great for new moms,thank you for the chance.
This list is amazing! So many great items!
Used this to help me with my first baby and now I am constantly coming back to it for my second coming this summer!! It’s bookmarked and such a helpful resource!!!
As a career nanny- these are all so crucial!!!
What a well thought out list! Such good recommendations!
This is a wonderful registry listing!
This is such a great list!
I love this baby list! We are currently expecting our third (unexpected) baby this summer. We got rid of all our other kids baby things. So we are starting completely fresh, it has been a little overwhelming trying to remember all the things we need or used for the other two. This list help us SO much. One thing I am looking forward to this time around is getting a Doona!
This is SO helpful and thorough!! I wish that I would have found a resource like this before my first baby!
This is the most comprehensive list! Pregnant after a 9 year gap and there are so many new things out there!
This is so helpful!! I’m pregnant with my third and it’s been 5 years since my last, so I feel like I’m starting over and can’t remember anything. Thank you for making this!
diapers, wipes, and pacifiers were a must
Amazing list of products. Just had my new LO after 5 years from my second child and so much has changed since then! Definitely using this list! Thank you!
This is a great list! Thank you!
This is helpful to a girl dad!
This is so helpful!!! I’m pregnant with my first and it’s so hard to know where to even start with what to buy! So thank you!
This post has been so helpful! Even with baby #4. It’s only been a few years and I can’t believe how many new options there are.
This was so helpful! I was looking for a list just like this! Thank you so much!
So many great suggestions! So many things have changed since my first baby!
So many good recs. Definitely going to order myself some of these.
I’m pregnant with my second baby and I still found this post super helpful! I’m going to share it with my first time mom friends who are expecting!
I loved your advice and found it super helpful to use Amazon for my baby registry! So many perks to using Amazon! I’ve shared this tip with so many friends/family. Love your blog!
Thank you for doing this stalking so we don’t have to ❤️ this is so helpful!!
I’m going to have my baby #4 🥳
And you are so helpful because I was afraid to try new things and now I’m on my way to get everything you recommend
This is an amazing list! We are expecting our second baby and we are definitely going to prioritize those newborn photos as well as the snoo! Two things we regret not prioritizing with our first!
This list is amazing! Thank you so much!
This is such a helpful list!!! I am pregnant with my first and making my registry has become a tad overwhelming. Thank you for all the recommendations!!!!!
This was so cute and helpful! I added a few things to my registry! Thank you for your blog post! I’m excited to get your newsletter, I’ll be keeping an eye out! 🫣
Love the fawn design bag ! Also the SNOO !
This list is EVERYTHING!! So many things I’ve watched and read reviews on, so your opinion just solidifies it that much more. You are an amazing mom!
No shame in wearing maternity clothes- not many people mention this. But in pregnancy as in life it’s important to be comfortable! Thanks for sharing all these helpful tips and for including the links!
Wow, this is such a helpful list! I didn’t realize you could add items to your Amazon registry from other places on the internet! That will be so helpful as I create my registry!
Love how comprehensive this!
I would love to be considered for this as i am a single father who, after eight failed IVF attempts and one stillborn in 2021, is about to be a father. After paying for surrogacy and IVF, i could use all the help i could get. Thank you for the evening, for allowing us to win such unique essentials.
i have my first live birth child, and i love your list. I am interested in the snow and swaddles, which i think would be great for skin-to-skin touch while getting things done around the house. Also, I join the text group so i can learn about other goodies for when the baby comes.
This is so helpful, thank you so so much!! I have bought just about everything you linked /recommended!
A question- if we were gifted the Doona, do you still recommend a nuna pipa lite to go with our Uppababy vista v2? I am slightly confused as to why we would need both, esp if the nuna only lasts until they’re about one? Thank you!!
Hi Renee! No you definitely don’t need both! One or the other is all you need 🙂 -Kourtney
This article is SUPER helpful!!! Thank you so much!
