Filling in the gaps from our registry - what were your most used items when your baby was a newborn. What did you have to run to the store and buy because you didn't have it??
-
A&A swaddle blankets, K'Tan wrap/Ergo, swing (around 1 month), and his rock and play. He still uses all of these and is almost 4 months.
-
Swaddle blankets, baby Bjorn bouncer
-
A&A swaddle blankets, snugabunny swing, diaper rash cream (triple paste).
-
Keep it coming! I have most of this - except a wrap/baby wearing gear! Need to pick that up.
-
I use my nursing pillows more than anything. I wish we'd bought more sleepers and sleep sacks too.
-
A&A blanket, wabba nub pacifiers, button sleepers, baby nail cutters, sleep giraffe and pack and play newborn napper.
-
I forgot breast friend, boppy and burp clothes.
-
A&A blankets
nosefreida
moby wrap
boppy
latch assist
NB sized sleepers (I only had 2)still use all at 9 months except the NB sleepers and latch assist
-
Boppy, wubbanub, rock n' play, floor activity mat, wipe warmer(we had to run out and buy one since LO screamed whenever the cold wipes touched her), the moms on call swaddle blanket, and the number one most used items are the flannel receiving blankets we received a ton of. We use them as burp clothes, as blankets, as a cushion in the rock n' play, etc. they are handy to leave one in every room because you never know when you'll need one!
-
Some things we had that I couldn't have lived without: snugabunny swing, bouncer, nap nanny, burp rags, blankets, plenty of diapers!
Some things we had to go out and buy bc we needed them: corona ointment for diaper rash, gripe water for gas, white noise machine. Also a ton of Breastfeeding stuff like lanolin, soothing gel pads, breast pads, and a bigger nursing bra.
-
So far we are loving our Rock n Play, A&A blankets, My Brest Friend nursing pilow, LOTS of extra diapers and Triple Paste diaper rash cream (recommended by our pediatrician)
-
More NB clothes (LO was small), particularly sleepers. NB diapers, breast pads, more nursing bras. Amazon Prime was great for all of these.
-
More NB clothes and diapers, boppy, sleep gowns!
-
I ended up buying more burp cloths and newborn sleepers. Snug bunny bouncy chair was a fav. Also used my baby nail scissors and the swaddleme a lot.
-
NB size clothes. Side-snaps outfits/shirts. Socks that stay on. Mittens!
-
My Boppy was my absolute life-saver. I've used it for at least a two hours a day every day since we brought it home. And 0-3 month outfits. My little guy wasn't so little, and didn't fit into NB sizes after a week or two.
He also refused to be swaddled, but loves sleep sacks, so I wish we'd had more right off the bat.
-
We couldn't live without the nursing pillow (we had the My Brest Friend), lanolin, baby ktan and sleepers. LO was in sleepers for 90% of the time until she was 6 weeks and her head wasn't so floppy. We only had 3 sleepers so I had to run out and buy a few more in NB. Unfortunately, a lot of her NB outfits only got worn once.
-
Snugabunny swing, rock n play, velcro swaddles (summer infant swaddle me)
-
We used the Carter's side snap white shirts exclusively for the newborn -3 mo stage since it was easier on the umbilical cord and easier for changing. I had to go out and buy more
of those. -
I liked the zip up sleepers-- so much easier that fumbling with snaps. Other than that, I can't think of much newborn stuff that I actually used that I got as a gift. We never used a swing, pack and play, swaddles, nursing pillow or pacis.
We had to go out and buy infant Tylenol and Gripe Water. Also we needed smaller diapers than what we had.
If you're looking for stuff to put on your registry, I'd put nice toys and books for later-- a nice set of blocks, wooden rattles, plush toys. I think people like giving toys especially when they don't already have kids because it's easy to pick out and fun. I think I got just about every toy and book I had on my registry.
-
Sleepers with snaps, so you dont have to expose their upper body when it's cold.
A+A blankets
Motherlove nipple cream
NoseFrida and saline drops
Tummy drops
Snuggabunny swing and bouncer w/ vibrate (the vibrate saved our lives the first few weeks)
thick burp cloths (we have some amazing terry cloth-backed ones from Trend Lab) -
Thanks so much everyone! I'm actually feeling pretty good because we have the majority of the things you guys listed!!!
