registry question... TMI items.....

I can't do it... I simply CAN'T!

I was registering for a pump (which I just did now since my generous friend put a big dent into my BRU registry)

However, I CANNOT bring myself to register for all of the accessories we need. the creams, pads... you know the stuff

I think I'll just buy it all myself. To me, it would be like registering for maxipads

did you register for that stuff? Am I just being wierd?

Re: registry question... TMI items.....

I agree. There is a bunch of little stuff that I will not register for (binkies and the like as well as breast pads and milk baggies...)

Re: registry question... TMI items.....

I registered for everything, I really didn't even think about it being weird or anything. I registered for the milk storage bags, pads, cream, etc. To me it's just other stuff that I need...........wasn't weird for me at all but I understand where you are coming from.

Re: registry question... TMI items.....

Honestly, I didn't register for those things because I wasn't 100% sure that bf/pumping would work for me so i didn't want to have tons of things I might not need...I bought the storage bags, etc. after about a month, when I actually started pumping and realized it would work for me...I did buy the lanolin cream, but used it once and realized that I really didn't need it and never used it again...if you do register for those things, I would suggest not getting too many of anything because you never know what you might like/not like, etc.

Also, you can't always return the pump if you decide you will not use it...I waited until I needed it to purchase it (gift cards came in handy for that!)...

Re: registry question... TMI items.....

I didn't register for any of it. I had so much money in gift cards after the shower that we could easily afford the pump with tons of gift cards left over.

Re: registry question... TMI items.....

i felt the same way and bought most of those items. i did register for the pump, though nobody bought it. i also felt uncomfortable registering for diapers and wipes.

Re: registry question... TMI items.....

I was too embarrased to put that stuff either but I did register for the breast pump and someone bought it!

Re: registry question... TMI items.....

i added all that stuff AFTER my shower so that i still got the discount but did not feel it was TMI for people buying the gifts.
