baby travel systems second hand image
Malia's Mo
We just spent 2 hours in Babies R Us registering for my baby shower and we have over 200 items. I know I'm not going to get everything, and it was mainly just to show various gift options, but what items are absolute musts and what items can wait? This is my first baby so I haven't been able to test anything out yet. Thank you! =)

well, u can go to babies r us website and they have a list for ppl who are going to register..of course it has a lot of things on there that you don't need, but if you weed through you can get what you need out of it...the things i liked;found most useful, etc......
.i would def recommend:
a diaper genie 2; idk why ppl don't like them, there is NO smell in my dd 's room
changing table..will save your back, good for diap changes, clothes changes, sponge baths, etc and you have shelves to store your new baby must haves....i have canvas bins on the shelves to store things that are good to have in reach or easily available...
monitor--i like the graco imonitor, recently bought a second one for another room in the house bc i liked the other one so much, it has been working well for over 8 mos now, and it has good range, battery life, and i can hear EVERYTHING; never any interference....it works great..
boppy pillow with cotton covers, soft ones don't fit as well for some reason
lots of baby hangers, and baby hangers with clips to keep outfits together
primo euro bathtub
prince lionheart diaper depot and wipewarmer; ours works well and the wipes are still very warm when we get them to out dd's bottom; and she doesn't freak out when we are out and they aren't warmed, but seems to appreciate it when they are..
health kit: brush, comb, thermometer (not an ear one, not as accurate), nail clippers, etc.
baby meds, generic is just as good and a lot cheaper...desitin(or plain zinc oxide if you can find it)..not creamy, has less zinc ox in it....infant mylicon and tylenol
lots of diapers , make sure wherever you buy them will let you exchange them for a diff size if you need to even after the return period...brus let me do that, and buy a small pack of a couple brands to see which you prefer before you open the big boxes...wipes, lots of them, without alcohol or fragrance! we use swaddlers diapers and pampers sensitive wipes; no rashes, no reactions to their ingredients, diapers hold a lot when they have too and the netting tends to keep the wet off her bottom...
lots of baby washclothes, you may have to use them on baby's bum if it is really sensitive and gets a rash....and baby towels, but you could use your reg towels if money is an issue
swing, pref swings two ways and plugs in instead of batteries
bouncy seat
infant travel system! easy, easy, easy--we got the graco tour deluxe; it is great, folds with one hand, several seating positions, lays flat for sleep; has a big basket underneath and cup holders for mom and dad, one for baby , place for snacks for baby, and a 'pocket' up top for keys, cell phone, whatever you wanna put there...
play yard, get one with bassinet feature if you want to, easier to keep baby in your room for a while before putting them in crib in their room=we have chicco discovery and it is awesome, has more padding than most, easy to wash..machine wash, most are wipe down...very sturdy, has nightlight, vibration, etc and a flip up change table, has wooden slats that slide in under mattress for support...not that much more exp than the others and much better in my opinion
passys--she loves soothies and that is all she will take..
baby wash, again frag free, dye free
frag free , dye free laundry detergent
clothes hamper or basket
lingerie bag for socks, mittens, anything little so they don't get lost in the wash...
something to put baby toys in
extra toy links
lullaby cd and small cd player; my dd has come to love white noise, she naps with a fan and a womb bear; sleeps at night with a fan....
oh, mosquito cover for your infant carrier..it's where you can see in , baby can see out, but strangers cant just walk up and touch your baby, and they will!!!!!
all i can come up with now...LOL
diaper bags; big one for everything you may need, leave in car unless you will be somewhere a long time, and a small one to stick what you will need for a short run in so you don't have to haul the bigger one
if ffing:
avent formula dispenser; has better review than the ones made by sassy, and convert to a snack cup later...i loved it so much i bought a second one!
bottles--really liked playtex ventaire advanced when she was young, more pieces but it's easy to get them clean when the top and bottom comes off...and they vent through the bottom instead of the nip so no bubbles or foam going back up into baby's milk; they will leak if you don't put them together correctly, but we have had no probs with them and have never had to replace any parts on them..if u decide on them and have leaks, email me and i will explain how to keep them from leaking...:O)
bottle and nip brushes--i really like the ones by munchking that don't have a sponge on the end of the brush, they come in diff colors mixed with white and have a great nip brush in the handles....
drying racks--again, i really like munchkins...
formula mixer: i like dr brown's formula pitcher bc you don't shake it it is only abo

What should I put on my baby Registry?
Kckckc
Im only 19 weeks pregnant but I was thinking about my baby registry.
Im not going to Register now but when i do what should I put on it?
This is my first child so i don't want to leave anything out.
Answer
Diapers: Whether you're going the re-usable or disposable route, you'll need plenty on hand.
Burp cloths (fabric diapers can also double as burp cloths).
Disposable wipes. Always have a few packets on hand -- this is not an item you want to run out of.Diaper rash cream
Diaper pail: Choose one that you can operate with one hand, one that uses regular garbage bags, and has an odor control system.
Diaper bag: Make sure it hangs well from your stroller handlebars.
Baby monitor
1 or 2 pacifiers, if you want to use them. Be sure to get ones labeled "newborn."
Portable crib, commonly known as a Pack 'n Play, for when you visit the grandparents.
Co-sleeper. It's so nice to just reach over to nurse your baby at night. But you can easily substitute the portable crib if it's easier.
6 bottles, including nipples: Make sure you buy nipples for newborns.
Bottle brush
Breast pump: Go for the fancy automatic double pump if you're going back to work.
Breastfeeding pillow
Nursing pads
Lanolin lotion for sore nipples
Breast milk freezer bags or storage cups
Thermometer. The rectal kind. Don't be freaked out -- once you do it, it's a piece of cake.
Nasal bulb syringe for clearing stuffy noses
Baby nail clipper
Alcohol swabs and bandages
Infant bath tub or seat with a newborn "sling"
Baby shampoo and cleanser
Baby lotion
2 to 3 hooded towels that let you swaddle baby post-bath
Crib
Changing table with pad (you can also covert an existing dresser by topping with a pad)
Rocking chair
ExerSaucer. You won't use it for a few months, but once your baby hits 4 or 5 months, it will blow his little mind.
Swing or bouncy seat. The movement makes almost all babies very, very sleepy.
Activity mat (also called the baby gym)
Mobile for the crib: Think music, lights and movement. We like ones you can turn off remotely.
Mobile for the changing table: Distract your baby from the fact that his bum is cold.
Crib bumper
2 to 3 fitted crib sheets
2 waterproof mattress pads
2 or 3 changing pad covers
A rear-facing infant car seat with base. If you have two cars, you'll need a second base.
Baby carrier and/or sling
Stroller: Baby won't sit up for a few months, so you'll need a Snap 'n Go, a travel system or a model in which baby can fully recline.
A "take-me-home" outfit. Look for a set that's cute for photos, but practical (something warm for winter or light for summer).
6 to 8 onesies, half short sleeve and half long sleeve. Choose kimono styles that don't pull over baby's head to cut down on screams.
5 pairs of pants
6 to 8 sleepers (aka coveralls) with built-in footies, or rompers if it's spring or summer
5 to 6 sleeping gowns, which snap5 to 6 sleeping gowns, which snap, zip, or cinch closed at the bottom, making late-night diaper changes a breeze.
At least 3 sleeping gowns should have built-in mittens to cover fast-growing baby fingernails and avoid scratches on smooth baby skin.
1 to 3 sweater cardigans or zip hoodies, depending on the season
1 snowsuit or winter bunting (for winter babies)
1 to 2 pairs of mittens if they aren't included in the snowsuit (for winter babies)
8 pairs of booties or socks
4 to 6 hats, including at least one sun hat
4 to 6 receiving blankets. One should be soft and thick enough to be a blankie contender; two should be thin enough for your diaper bag.
4 to 6 bibs. At least two should be waterproof. Once baby starts solids, you'll need something you can just hose off.
Velcro swaddle. This crucial miracle item may be the key to peace in your household.
Sleep sac, for when baby outgrows the swaddle or sleep gowns, but is still too young for a blanket in the crib.
Thats pretty much EVERYTHING. You wont need all of it though (: goodluck
