Baby Registry
If you’re expecting, first of all, congrats! If you’re like I was, you think you need every baby product ever made before you bring home your new addition. While these tiny little humans do need A LOT of stuff (just wait until your first road trip as a family and you will quickly see that the smallest member of the family needs the most stuff!), I didn’t need all of the things I thought I would. To help other new mamas out, I have made a list of things from my registry and I’ll give some tips on things we really loved. I also registered for things I thought I might not need right away, but would need within the first 2 years. If you have the storage space for this, I would definitely recommend doing that because that will be one less thing you have to buy later!

Nipples (I would register for several different sizes/levels for whatever bottles you choose to use)
Dr. Browns wide and narrow neck bottles (we chose to use the glass bottles and we love them because they heat up faster and retain the heat longer- they make silicone sleeves for them but we haven’t used ours) https://amzn.to/3ztKfvQ https://amzn.to/3SlvWA7
Baby Spoons https://amzn.to/3RZImgF
Bath time:
