re post from pregnancy: registry items

OK, I think I have my registry about finished. I have gone through BRU suggestions and have everything I think I need...but, Im paranoid that Im forgetting little things that may be important.

I have all of the obvious on there:
high chair, stroller, car seats
bouncy chair, swing, exersaucer
diaper genie
bottles
bibs,wash clothes, burp clothes,
changing table covers, receiving and swaddle blankets
crib and bassinet sheets
onesies
baby book
baby spoons, sippie cupS, pacifiers
hooded towels, bath tub
monitor, eat thermometer
pack and play

anything you can think of that I may have missed? things that were out of the ordinary that you put on and are glad you did? gifts you got that I may want to add on registry?

thanks so much for your help! geez, thid has been a big procedure!!

Re: re post from pregnancy: registry items

A few of things I didn't have on my registry and ended up sending DH out to buy the first week:

Microwave Steam Sterilzer - you may decide you don't need it, and you rather boil, in which case you can return it. But it comes in really handy especially for sterilizing pumping supplies.

Pack n'play sheets

A basket for the dishwasher to wash baby stuff in (very cheap and it's a lifesaver)

waterproof pads for the crib

make sure you register for enough burp cloths (2 - 3 packs)

Also - may I suggest the diaper champ instead of the diaper genie because then you don't have to buy special bags for it.

Dreft - laundry detergent for baby clothes

side-snap onesies

bottle cleaning brush


I'll add on if I think of anything else...

Re: re post from pregnancy: registry items

The bumby is fabulous once they can hold there head up. I love it we sit it on the table and put Steven in it and we have a family dinner!!!

Re: re post from pregnancy: registry items

the boppy!!!

also baby care products (wash, diaper cream, etc), health products (nail clippers, aspirator, thermometer, etc) and medicine (gas drops, tylenol, etc)

Re: re post from pregnancy: registry items

I am not breast feeding. I thought the boppy was for BFing?? what is it exactly?

thanks for your ideas girls!

Re: re post from pregnancy: registry items

The bobby also helps with bottle feeding since it support the baby's head more. You could just use a pillow under your arm but the boppy works well.

It also helps with:

congestion: they can lay in it on an incline
pictures: Throw a blanket over it & lay them belly down with their arms over the side
sitting up: supports them as they learn to sit

eta: the ear thermometer does'nt really work well on infants. Their ear canals are too small to get an accurate reading. I used a thermometer pacifier, a regular thermometer and the thermometer stickers.

Re: re post from pregnancy: registry items

ogh geez...maybe Id better add another yype of thermometer on to the lost if the ear one doesnt work well on infant. do most of you suggest a paicifier one in that case? any particular brand?

so much to know!!!

the boppy sounds good. I will definately add one of those on to my reg.
