OK ... so apparently I can't actually complete my Amazon registry for another 4 days. Granted, I'm not too impressed with the Amazon 10% disc. but I'm sure it adds up!
In the meantime moms, PLEASE tell me what you would have wanted to stock up on using the completion discount?
Note: We already have a lot of baby wipes and baby shampoo/wash it seems. Diaper rash creams? Do you really go through them very quickly?
I'm ready for any and all suggestions you have to throw at me!

The things I went back for was:
Diapers
Different brands diaper cream (aloe vesta and earth momma baby)
Pacifier clip (the kind that would loop through a soothie)
Pouches of baby food when she was older
Glass bowls with lids for baby food.

You already mentioned some, but wipes, diapers, diaper cream, lotion, gas drops, baby Tylenol, teething gel...In my opinion you really can't have too many of these things. We have went through way more of all of this then I even imagined we could.

Babies are very small and take very little soap and lotion. No joke, my ds is 5 and I still have baby potion from when he was a baby.
Diaper cream is good to stock up on though. Also wipes...you'll use them eventually!

agree with the nursing pads..
Other things I've bought from Amazon in the past few months: 3 sprouts baby toy storage (zebra and hippo), boon stuffed animal organizer, kidsme food feeder, teething rings, piyo piyo nail scissors, A&A bibs.. and probably some other stuff that I can't think of off the top of my head.

We didn't use much diaper cream--LO rarely got a rash. If you pump, maybe storage bags?

Onesies - but I'm not sure if you can get Carter's onesies on Amazon. M lives in those.

Every baby is so different and every mama is different too so it's hard to say! For instance, I rarely leaked so I think I went through one box of breast pads (and I only wore them at first because I felt like I should but didn't really need to).
We needed lots of bibs and burp pads because my LO was a big spitter for the first 4 months.
We go through a medium-sized tub of diaper cream each month (we only use it before bed).
If you worry your LO might have sensitive skin you can stock up on some good cream/lotion.
Otherwise, I can't think of much else that you need a ton of other than diapers and wipes!

I don't know if you should stock up too much on diapers since you don't know how fast your baby will grow. My LO outgrew size 1 diapers really fast and I still have a ton left over.
Things that we go through really fast are wipes, Aquaphor, bibs, and baby wash cloths.

@Sammyfab: You are SO right! This post definitely highlights the difference in every mom and baby's needs!
@LaineysMom: Ooh! Thanks for reminding me that I do want to get the Boon Stuffed Animal Beanbag for someday. Will look into that. And I see that Piyo Piyo nail scissors recommended to me on Amazon all the time! It seems so random, but I wouldn't have thought of that!

*UPDATE*: I've added a couple of small size diaper creams, a few different baby lotions (that I could use too if it doesn't work for baby), hand sanitizer pump and refills, more baby wipes, and will add some baby washcloths! Thanks for all the recommendations!

@shopaholic: the nail scissors are so much easier than clippers. Also, make sure you buy hand cream. My hands are always so dry now from washing 100X a day.

I swear on my life you cannot have enough wipes. We bought like a 20 pack of wipes a few weeks ago and I was like "Clearly this is a lifetime supply..." Nope, just re-ordered. It's crazy!!!

Onesies, sleepers, wipes (we go through a ton), washclothes, nosefrieda filters (YES!), swaddle sacks/blankets, BIBS (from 4 months on he's gone thru 5 a day!)
We still have the lotion and aquaphor cream from when he was born and we use it every day (he's almost 9 months). And we've gone through maybe 2 baby shampoos.

@shopaholic: no prob.. I'm clearly a shopaholic too.. I'm just a few months ahead of you.

Oh one more thing.. if you're going to do breast milk, have at least one way to store it. I wasn't planning on pumping when I got home, but was so engorged that it was a must! She didn't need any of the milk I pumped, so it was frozen right away.. Trust me, you don't want to waste any milk if you can help it!
I bought: Medela storage system (didn't buy it until I was exclusively pumping), honeysuckle bags, handsfree pumping bra (MUST).

@PrincessBaby: 20-pk in a few weeks?! And I love using wipes for everything, so yup, I guess we'll be stocking up on those!
@winniebee: 5 bibs a day?! wow!
@LaineysMom: Glad I'm in good company! 
Yes, I have some storage bags I found on sale and lids for bottle freezing too. Thanks!

@shopaholic: I just looked on Amazon history and it was a 12pack (64ct in ea) that we ordered a month ago...Yes I reordered yesterday bc we're down to like 2!
Eta:that's 768 buttwipes!!!!

@LaineysMom: Great tip! The Lansinoh bags are the best!
@winniebee: Funny, we never used bibs at all until she started solids and thats just at meal time!
@PrincessBaby: I agree, we go through about that many wipes. If you consider 8-10 changes a day and 2-3 wipes per change!
