Ultimate Baby Registry!
Today I’m sharing everything you need on your baby registry! I did a ton of research before we had Margot and these are items we have used and loved, plus a few new items we are trying out for baby number 2!
First up are the things we are buying for baby number two:
Bassinet – I wish we would’ve had this for Margot! This bassinet comes highly recommended. It has adjustable height and swivels so you can easily pull it closer or push it away for getting in and out of bed. The side also slides down when you put the baby back in so you don’t wake them. Excited to try this out!
Pacifiers – Margot never took one so we’ll see if they work on baby number two. The Wubbanubs are the ones I see recommended most often.
Sound Machine – Margot still uses hers so we need a second one for the new baby. I’ve heard great things about this one!
Blackout Shades – It’s so nice when newborns can sleep anywhere, but eventually they need pitch black to keep from getting distracted so they can fall asleep/ I like that these use suction cups so they are removable for travel!
Monitor Camera – This is the second camera for the monitor we have. Love having a video monitor so I can see when the girls really need me!
Swaddle – We tried so many swaddles with Margot and were not successful! I’ve heard great things about this one so I’m excited to try it out. You can get 10% off with code LAURENELIZHANSEN10!
Muslin blankets – We used these for everything with Margot. I picked up a few new ones for the new baby!
Baby bath sponge – This thing is the best! You can put it in the sink or the bath tub or even on the counter if you are just doing a sponge bath. You can pack it up in a big ziplock. Just wring it out and hang it over the side of the tub to dry. No need for a big baby tub! We wore out the one we used with Margot so picking up a new one for this baby.
Little Remedies Kit – It’s always a good idea to have baby medicine on hand before you need it. So glad we had one of these with Margot! The gripe water and gas drops came in handy in the early newborn days.
Bath Thermometer – These are so cute and give me peace of mind that I’m not making the bath too hot.
Nose Frida – I know – gross in theory. But it works soooo well! Need to get a new one for baby number two.
Convertible Car Seat – We have this for Margot and I love that it’s the only car seat she’ll need until she grows out of them. We’ll use an infant seat until she grows out of it around 10 months.
Car seat protector – Ugh, I totally should’ve got one of these before I had Margot. My back seat is a disaster of crumbs and squished raisins! Planning to get the car detailed and install these before putting the car seats back in!
Things we used with Margot that we loved:
Diapering
Out & About
Nursery
Feeding
Bathtime
Play & Learn
Phew! That took a while to put together! I hope you find this helpful. Anything I missed? Let me know if there’s something not on my list that I should add for baby number two!
