My Baby Registry

I’m 20 weeks pregnant (HALFWAY!!!) and have started my baby registry which has been so much fun! I asked you all to share some of your baby registry must-haves on Instagram and I got so many amazing recommendations. My older sister, Jessica, just had a baby 9 months ago and she has given me so many great tips and recommendations too. As of now, I’m registering on Amazon and at a local store in Montgomery, Alabama called Namedropper-Storkland. I’ve done a lot of research on these products, but I’m sure I’ll have so many more thoughts and opinions when this baby is here and I can actually use them. Here’s what I have so far!

Stroller: My sister and SO many others have recommended the UPPABaby Vista Stroller so that’s what we went with. I love the look of it, and I think I’ll use it ALL the time.

Car seat: UPPAbaby Mesa Infant Car Seat
Changing pad: So many people recommended the Keekaroo Peanut Changer, especially for little boys! It’s so wonderful because you can just wipe it down instead of having to do another load of laundry.
Sound machine: We’re getting the Hatch Sound Machine for the nursery and this Portable Sound Machine for downstairs and on the go.

Diapers/Wipes: We’re starting out with Pampers Swaddlers and Water Wipes. My nephew had terrible diaper rash when he was first born and my sister switched to Water Wipes which helped SO much because they didn’t irritate his skin. I’m also planning to use lots of Aquaphor for the baby’s little bottom and I’m getting for this Diaper Cream Brush which makes it so easy to apply. I'm excited to get the Ubbi Baby Wipe Dispenser because as one of my friends said, “Life is too short to have trouble pulling out wipes.”
Swaddles/Sleep sacks: Ollie Swaddle, Halo Swaddle and Halo Sleep Sack.
Wraps/carriers: I plan to carry this little guy everywhere and I know I’ll need to bake with him on me, so I’m getting the Solly Wrap which I’ve heard WONDERFUL things about! I’m also registering for the Ergobaby Carrier.

Breastfeeding/Pumping: I’m planning on breastfeeding and I’m getting the Spectra Pump with my insurance. This Medela Breast Milk Storage Set looks very helpful. I’m super excited to try the Haakaa which collects extra milk while you’re nursing on the other side. For breastfeeding, I’ve heard this Nipple Butter is a lifesaver!
Bottles: I'm going to try Dr. Browns bottles. I also registered for this bottle warmer, bottle cleaning brushes, bottle sterilizer, countertop drying rack.
Monitor: Infant Optics Monitor

High Chair: 4moms High Chair
Play: Play Gym by Lovevery and Fisher-Price Jumperoo are two of my nephews favorites!
Lounging: DocATot, BabyBjorn Bouncer and Bumbo Seat.

Bath: We’re getting this bathtub which I have heard great things about. As far as soap/shampoo, I’m excited to try this Mustela Gentle Cleansing Gel. I want to use mostly natural products without harsh chemicals and fragrances, so we plan to use CeraVe Baby Lotion after bath. Here are some towels and bath accessories that I plan to get as well.
Clothing: We’re registering for most of our baby clothes at a local store in Montgomery, Alabama (where Daniel and I are both from) called Storkland. If you’re ever in Montgomery, they have the CUTEST things! Some of my favorite brands are Kissy Kissy (the softest pajamas), Pixie Lily, Cecil and Lou, Little English, The Proper Peony, Beaufort Bonnet Company, and Smockingbird Children’s Clothing. I’m planning on writing a full blog post on baby clothing because it’s my FAVORITE!
