Natalie's Baby Registry

I started Babylist when I was pregnant for the first time with my son Max. I’ve spent the past six years talking to awesome pregnant women about their baby registries (and having my second son, Ben). I live and breathe baby products and wanted to share my favorites with you! Also, be sure to visit the Babylist Best Guides for all the great baby gear feedback we’ve gathered from thousands of parents just like you.
Baby Gear
I am so excited to try out this swing. It takes up less floor space than a traditional swing and looks a lot better.

On the Go
This is a luxe purchase but I LOVE IT. It’s extremely light and has both a canopy and a “dream drape” that will fully shade a sleeping baby in the car.
Nuna 2016 PIPA Infant Car Seat
Strollers are so hard. We had a City Mini with our first, and I’m sticking with it. This stroller is affordable, high quality and is awesome in an urban environment.
Once a stranger clapped for me when I put it into the trunk of my car (while holding baby). I felt like a super star.
(Note: you can buy infant car seat adapters for the stroller that work with many different brands of car seats, though not the Nuna PIPA I mention above.)

For our first, we had a Moby wrap and I loved it. I’m really excited to try out the Solly baby wrap – I love the patterns. I will probably also try the Baby K’tan.
We used a wrap for about the first 4 months.

I skipped the infant insert (and used a baby wrap) and once baby had head control moved to an Ergobaby. I am still a huge fan of the classic Ergobaby carrier. You can wear baby on your front, and move to the back as baby gets bigger. I love this teal version.

Clothing & Accessories
Zutano fleece baby booties have a two-snap design system so its extra comfy for babies but also keeps the booties on until you take them off.

Primary is a new store has very affordable plain, bright baby onesies.

Diapering
Honest diapers are lovely. A gift card is the best way to go for receiving the gift of diapers.

Nursery and Decor
I love a lot at Land of Nod, especially their changing pad covers and sheets.

Health & Safety
We don’t need this, but hopefully I have your attention. Have a smoke detector in baby’s room and a carbon monoxide detector somewhere in the house. This is more important than most things on this list.

Adoption Fund Donation
Adoption costs on average between $30,000-$40,000, which often doesn’t include additional travel costs and attorney fees. Give your friends and family a chance to chip in. You can even set up a secure way to donate online via your Babylist registry page.
For the Parent(s)
I really enjoyed this look at research studies and pregnancy.
