Both were just cotton with some spandex in them.<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003FVL8DE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003FVL8DE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1928807 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 11:04:02 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1928807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Seattlemom: @Mrs. High Heels: there are so many types of Woombies (ventilation/ fabric), which one did you choose? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1928781 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 10:54:48 +0000 stiletto_mom 1928781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you everyone for the advice. I am still on the fence about cloth diapering. Need to find more resources and decide if it's the best for us.</p> <p>As for car seats, I know many say they prefer new, but I'm willing to leave the option open. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1927416 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 14:49:54 +0000 lady grey 1927416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: @Mrs. High Heels: We loved woombies too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1927415 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 14:49:01 +0000 lady grey 1927415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: Yes, it comes with a cord to plug in but also can be battery operated. That option has come in handy for us as we use it in the car sometimes and at daycare. But at night and naps we plug it in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1927325 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 13:49:16 +0000 fairy 1927325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to say your registry looks great! All the items I would have suggested are on there haha, I am impressed :) I do agree, though, that you should not take a used car seat unless it will be from a trusted friend or family member. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1927074 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 11:16:10 +0000 LBee 1927074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks great!</p> <p>Personally I would ask for my car seat(s) and base to be new, not used. I was told that unless you knew the person that you could never 100% know that the car seat had not been in an accident and/or had been treated like you would want it. I thought that for peace of mind it was worth springing for a new one. I googled it and found that this was the common consensus as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1927020 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 10:42:55 +0000 stiletto_mom 1927020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: Haha, unfortunately no. =( </p> <p>Thank you. I don't want to put too much "fluff" stuff there because I don't anticipate that I will even get half of the items we want. So the essentials with the option for people to get second-hand is important too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1927011 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 10:35:07 +0000 Synchronicity 1927011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: Ah, damn. I was hoping you had some sort of Amazon.com secret you could hook me up with! Haha. Your registry looks awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1927003 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 10:30:36 +0000 stiletto_mom 1927003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Thanks for all the suggestions I didn't even think about!! The one you linked doesn't ship to Canada, but I'll be looking into the A+A soft bibs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1927000 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 10:29:26 +0000 stiletto_mom 1927000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Seattlemom: Thanks!! I've subbed in the machine you linke d. It looks like it does almost the same thing but way more cost effective! </p> <p>Also, can it be plugged in with a cord? I don't usually like battery operated only items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1926996 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 10:28:54 +0000 stiletto_mom 1926996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Thanks for your links! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1926992 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 10:27:09 +0000 stiletto_mom 1926992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A huge THANK YOU to everyone for their advice!! I've added a few more things to the registry that I hadn't thought of!</p> <p>Yes, I'm located in Canada and will have to look to see if breast pumps are covered. </p> <p>Yes, some items I listed from amazon.com does not ship to Canada, but I'll adjust those links before I give out the registry link (thanks for reminding me!)</p> <p>Does anyone have a better video monitor recommendation? The Summer one seems a bit pricey to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1926801 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 08:17:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1926801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have two cars?

Even if they're not on solids, it's nice to have them at a higher height, so they can be with you at the table. We used a pretty basic one with a recline beginning at 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1926791 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 08:05:57 +0000 Synchronicity 1926791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: you're in Canada, right? Are the items that you linked to on Amazon.com able to ship to Canada? Or if not, how are you swinging that? I'm also in Canada so I'm curious... The American Amazon is so much better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1926741 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 06:35:38 +0000 magnolia 1926741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got the Luna Lullaby pillow as a baby shower gift and it is awesome! I'm 35 weeks pg so I don't use it for nursing yet but it is so comfy and soft and I use it like a pregnancy pillow </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1926700 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 01:34:06 +0000 turquoisemama 1926700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check your insurance if you haven't already because a lot of times breast pumps are covered. Also, I highly recommend going to the store and testing out strollers. We were set on a stroller set and then went to the store and hated it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1926691 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 00:49:08 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1926691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It looks great! You hit up most of my essentials - rock 'n play, structured carrier, and aden &amp; anais swaddles.</p> <p>Another essential we've used a lot once we started solids was this fisher-price healthy deluxe booster seat - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Deluxe-Booster-Seat-Brown/dp/B00CSAWJPO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1414993540&#038;sr=8-7&#038;keywords=fisher-price+high+chair" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Deluxe-Booster-Seat-Brown/dp/B00CSAWJPO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1414993540&#038;sr=8-7&#038;keywords=fisher-price+high+chair</a> - highly recommend! </p> <p>A few others:<br /> - A white noise machine (marpac)<br /> - Humidifier<br /> - Carseat Canopy - something like this - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Carseat-Canopy-Angelina-Infant-Attachment/dp/B00HUCFLIM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1414551015&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=carseat+canopy" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Carseat-Canopy-Angelina-Infant-Attachment/dp/B00HUCFLIM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1414551015&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=carseat+canopy</a></p> <p>I was also a huge fan of woombies for swaddles, but I know swaddles can be all trial and error! Both my babies loved i though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1926689 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 00:46:21 +0000 lady grey 1926689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: Looking at what you registered for, I have experience with the Rock and Play, K'tan, Halo Sleep sacks(non swaddle version), gel pads, nose frida, also the drying rack- all great products!</p> <p>K'tan carrier was great for a newborn, but once LO got heavier (4-5 mo) we couldn't use it anymore. I know a few moms who love their Tula carriers.</p> <p>For cloth diapers we use Fuzzi Bunz and I love them.</p> <p>For a sound machine, we have this one thats cheap, simple and works great:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2JBMRE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2JBMRE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a></p> <p>but I know lots of people love this one:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Marpac-DOHM-DS-Natural-actual-Machine/dp/B000KUHFGM/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1414993403&#038;sr=1-3&#038;keywords=sound+machine" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Marpac-DOHM-DS-Natural-actual-Machine/dp/B000KUHFGM/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1414993403&#038;sr=1-3&#038;keywords=sound+machine</a></p> <p>There are my favorite nail clippers and WAY easier to use then the ones on your registry:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Piyo-Yellow-Baby-Nail-Scissors/dp/B004DFO57M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1414993535&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=nail+scissors" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Piyo-Yellow-Baby-Nail-Scissors/dp/B004DFO57M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1414993535&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=nail+scissors</a></p> <p>Hope that helps! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-registry#post-1926686 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 00:35:46 +0000 stiletto_mom 1926686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies, could you give my registry a quick look over to see if I missed anything?</p> <p>I am currently only TTCing but I like tobe prepared.</p> <p>- purposely did not including clothing and toys (exersaucer expection)<br /> - I want practical and useful items mostly (a few luxury items but tried to keep things to the essentials)<br /> - gender neutral colours. Even if we did know the sex of the baby, I'd prefer earth tones and neutrals mostly. And later would tweak items to colours that suit us.</p> <p>Mainly, I just wanted feedback on the items themselves (and quantity) Thanks in advance!!</p> <p><a href="https://babyli.st/davidyvonne" rel="nofollow">https://babyli.st/davidyvonne</a> </p>
