Our (Revised) Baby Registry

Tyler & I live in a smaller apartment so we had to be really intentional when creating our baby registry. We took into consideration all of the advice we received from our friends, family and the internet and held that up against what was most important to us. We also wanted to make sure that we invested in quality items that we could use for any and all future kids, regardless of their sex.

Over the first few months, we quickly began to learn what we really needed and what worked for us as well as what didn't.

This is our revised baby registry - i.e. what we deem to be our essentials and what we would recommend!

Website: We used Babylist (I LOVED this site because it allows you to add any item from any site into one registry. It's also free to use and once you hit a certain threshold they send you a baby box with free samples of various brands to try out to see what works best for you)

Disclaimer: Some things might work for us that don't work for you and vice versa - every family has different needs and tastes and you'll figure it out as you go! That being said, I hope this post helps you in your quest to curate your registry and truly enjoy this new, beautiful season of life!

Sending love always,

Julianna

BABY GEAR

The BEST stroller ever. Worth the splurge!

Great for storing miscellaneous things on the stroller.

Who doesn't need a cup holder!

This has been such a fantastic car seat and we will definitely be using it for all of our babies!

Nice, big mirror to see baby in the back seat.

Great for babies that run hot!

In love with this diaper bag - fantastic quality and I know we'll use it again and again!

A MUST HAVE - high quality sounds. We use it ALL the time!

My favorite pacifiers that I've found - mimics a real nipple.

Love that they are unisex and timeless and look like wood but aren't!

We used this like every day from the time she was born until about 2 months old.

Got as a hand-me-down and we use it every day! Easy on our backs.

Great to have storage in the car for extra baby essentials just in case!

Just switching baby girl into a bigger seat (3.5 months) - swivel is the way to go!

DIAPERING

Don't bother with other changing tables - this one is wipeable!

Didn't think I'd care for this but it's been a HUGE help - and super easy to use!

Cleanest wipes that I could find - no issues here!

Helps with the ease of pulling wipes out at home.

Literal magic - works as a healing balm for just about everything!

FEEDING

I didn't understand how to do this at first but I will for my future children!

I got for free through insurance. I really like this pump!

The BEST bottles. hands down.

Extra covers for the glass bottles.

Great bottle cleaner.

Tyler's favorite - helps so you don't have to sit under the sink waiting for the milk to warm up!

Best ones I've found - you might also be eligible for free ones through insurance!

Not a necessity but helps with breast milk storage.

I use them every day - great quality!

I use it more for just a general cover for when she's in the carrier but it's a great cover overall!

Didn't love at first but use it all the time since 1 month!

Organic cotton and cute, unisex design.

For making homemade baby food.

We're starting to use now (3 months) and it's fantastic - helps support her so she can learn to sit

Can't wait to use this once she starts eating solids!

NURSERY & DECOR

Literally the best crib ever - 3 in 1 and on wheels! Didn't need a bassinet.

Definitely want to protect that mattress!

Super soft, quality sheets.

One of my faves - so soft!

One of my faves - so beautifully made!

Cute and provides easy access to diapers, wipes, baby balm, hand sanitizer and miscellaneous things.

Top to protect the top of our dresser and make a soft space for changing table.

Great for organizing baby clothes and items.

Great for organizing baby clothes and items.

Great diffuser!

One of my favorite scents!

One of my favorite scents!

A beautiful reminder of the holy family!

A beautiful nod to Mama Mary.

One of my faves (and baby girl's)!

Necessity for night time changing and feeding!

HEALTH & SAFETY

I SWEAR by this stuff.

The best "hand sanitizer" I found for the nursery - we only really use this for night time changes.

I have this in the diaper bag for on the go - it's all natural, effective and smells great!

All natural, works well and smells great!

This is a truly clean supplement that I give her daily (MCT oil base).

Life. Changing.

Good to have for when you need it!

Haven't used this one yet but great reviews online and from friends.

My favorite brush for her!

Just started using and it seems to be really helping her so far!

Haven't used it yet but a few past told me if was really helpful when needing to give medicine.

These drops are LITERAL MAGIC - when the gripe water doesn't do the trick, this changes everything!

Works 50% of the time - it's natural but also not always effective so I'll use the drops.

Some people prefer a Dremel, I like the simple clipper, it works for us - totally preferential!

Good to have just in case!

Good to have just in case!

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it!

BATHING

Great filter for bath time.

A must-have for bath time!

Best clean soap bar - I use it on myself too!

Amazing for baby and Mama's belly!

Truly clean and a great bath time wash. Smells so good!

I use these all the time! Great quality.

This works awesome for bath time and the cradle cap brush is great to have!

Great, but definitely for when they get a little bigger.

We don't have shelving in our bathtub so all of her bath stuff goes into this.

More for toddlers but super soft and well made!

Classic.

PLAYING / MISC.

Boppy lounger got discontinued but I can't recommend enough - get one secondhand!

CLOTHING

We got so many hand-me-downs that the only things we have needed to buy have been pjs and swaddles - double zippers are key for nighttime diaper changes!
