Ok, can I get hands raised for everyone who absolutely LOVED registering…whether it was for your wedding or your first baby? Oh my goodness, the power that comes with that clicker!! The excitement that comes with the hopes of receiving every. single. one. of the items you have registered for. Since I’m in full on baby mode, why don’t we skip talk about a wedding registry and talk baby, baby, baby!! Although, how cool would it be if at your 10 year anniversary, you could legitimately register for wedding gifts all over again? That would be a blast!! I wonder how we could arrange this to become a norm.Ā Ok, anyways…moving right along š
I have a fond love and devotion to Target. So naturally, that is going to be the first place I register, or suggest a pregnant momma registering. Being that I had my 4th baby a few weeks back, I’d say I’ve got a good handle on what is worth registering for and what is not. Let’s face it, there are some products on the market that look great, but when they come in to your house, you realize you really don’t need them. I wanted to share with you my top 10 items to put on a Baby Registry. So, let’s get on with it!
avent breast pump. Whether you plan to pump or breast feed, a pump is always a great thing to have on hand.
dr. brown’s bottles. There may be a lot of pieces with these bottles, but they have helped a lot of babies with spit up. Another great bottle is Avent. We use both Avent and Dr. Brown’s bottles in our house!
dr. brown’s bottle warmer. This one rocks! Easy to use and clean.
aden & anais swaddling blankets (and anything else from them!!). Even though this is my 4th baby, I recently was gifted these blankets. I’ve never used them before now and am so sad about that. The size is perfect and the fabric is so soft.
blooming bath bathtub. It may seem simple, but oh so awesome! Gives your back the needed break it yearns for during bath time.
on the go changing station. The one pictured is from Skip Hop, so cute and trendy. It’s nice to have something like this when an unexpected dirty diaper happens. You don’t have to tote your whole diaper bag.
jumperoo. There are many makes and models, just pick your favorite. The one pictured I thought was cute.
baby play blanket/gym. I have the Infantino one pictured and my daughter just loves the little hanging animals. I love the patterns. Win/Win!
diapers. May seem super odd to add diapers to your registry, but you won’t be thinking that as you keep going back and back and back for more. They are expensive and they get used OFTEN lol!
Talk to me – what do you think is MANDATORY to add to a baby registry at Target?
A SIMPLE GIVEAWAY!

A car seat and stroller are a necessity.
A baby carrier is a must-have!
I would say a car seat and diapers.
I love the bouncy chairs
car seat is necessary
I think a nursing pillow, a bassinet, a monitor, and a carseat are all pretty essential.
a baby bathtub is a necessity.
I think a boppy is a necessity.
Diapers,blankets and of course a car seat. My daughter is pregnant and due any day now. She had 3 baby showers and got so much baby stuff. I told her Chloe is set for her first 6 months. I can’t wait to hold her,she’s my first granddaughter and I’m so excited! Thank you for the great giveaway š
A carseat and lots & lots of diapers!
besides the obvious car seat, I say a boppy!
I think swaddle blankets and some sort of bouncer or swing would be important.
A+A blankets
Clothes!! Diapers ar ethe biggest must but everyoone knows, most moms wants clothes š
A car seat is very necessary!!
For me, I really love a good crib mobile that plays soothing music!!!
A car seat is a necessity on every baby registry
A sturdy, safe crib is a neccessity.
Pampers, LOTS of Pampers!
infant car seat,diapers,wipes are necessary
I recently heard about the Baby Shusher. It sounds like a necessity, so I am buying it for my daughter!
A highchair for sure, I’ve given mine lots of use.
Diapers and a car seat are a must have
Infant car seat is necessary
I would say diapers are a must-have.
I think the big muslin swaddle blankets are a necessity. They are so great for swaddling, wiping small spit up messes, or using as a light nursing cover.
Muslin blankets
A baby carrier is so helpful!
Since everyone is saying car seat, I will say a pack n play or playyard. I used mine when my son was a newborn, an infant, and up until a few weeks ago, a travel bed.
A baby swing
A car seat is a must!

A quality baby carrier! We like the Ergo but I’ve heard wraps and slings are great too.
I think a car seat is a necessity for a baby!
A baby swing for sure
infant car seat,layette,diapers,wipes,blanket is important
Car Seat
I would say a bouncer!
a infant car seat!!! i think that’s what everyone needs!
Diapers are a major necessity.
a nice care seat is my #1 thing
Blankets
Definitely Ergo and Aden + Anais.
I definitely think a good breast pump as well as a Boppy!
A baby carrier is probably my number one item. The second is probably cloth diapers
Boppy pillow and diapers
a good breast pump is essential. even if it is just a manual pump. you need something for those first sleepy days when baby just wants to sleep. you have to pump to make sure your milk comes in if baby keeps falling asleep at the breast.
Diapers!
Diapers, wipes, towels, wash cloths are all necessities š
A good car seat is number one.
diapers. its so nice to get them from friends—i had a few months supply after my shower and it was nice not having to worry about that purchase for awhile!

I really like the idea of a city pass when I go to AZ to my son’s, but I see it’s not on the list (yet?) It does look like you took full advantage of it & it did save you money.
I agree about the diapers. Those were the best gifts I got each time.
I also could have used the boppy pillow at the time.
I think a swing is a necessity! It gives mom a minute!
I think a boppy is needed!
The necessities for a registry are definitely clothes, swaddle blanket, diapers, wipes, butt balm / diaper rash cream, and baby bottles ! great giveaway and roundup š
A pack-N-Play is seriously a HUGE help!
On a registry, I would include a travel swing or bouncer.
An infant cars seat
I think the Boppy pillow is a must have.
Thanks for the contest.
Must haves are a swing, glider and boppy pillow.
diapers
I think the best thing is a baby swing. I couldn’t live without one.
diaper cloths!
I think burb cloths are essential!
Entered the rafflecopter form as “Wild Orchid”
Thanks for the chance to win!

Ergo baby carrier
I would say diapers or a car seat is pretty much a necessity.
Aside from the big stuff (car seat, crib, etc.), I think swaddle blankets are a necessity. We use them for everything!
Burp rags! Lots of them!
Boppy pillow!!!
Burp clothes were a necessity for us. I also loved my LilyPadz.
burp clothes, wipes, and a baby carrier/wrap
Infant car seat,layette and cap
Diapers, wipes, carseat, and a comfortable rocking chair!
burp cloths, and a baby bouncer
aden + anais swaddle blankets are so multi-functional that they are a must have!
Diapers and wipes are an obvious necessity but I also think a bath tub for baby as well as small things like bibs and burp cloths!
Diapers for sure.
I think baby Tylenol and gas drops are a must. You don’t ever think about those things until your baby is screaming in the middle of the night!
Extra bases for the car seat! So much easier than having to move the base around from car to car(:
A car seat is a necessity. I like the ones that are car seats but they unhook from the base of the Car Seat and double as a Carrier.
Diapers and wipes
Drying rack for bottles is definitely a necessity but I love the cute “Lawn”
I love the swadle blankets by A&A and some nice soft white onesies to wear. I also say a good breast pump and diapers – cloth diapers for me!
Diapers and a swaddler
I think disposable diapers are a must when registering for a new baby, because even if you cloth diaper, there are times when disposable diapers are needed, especially when traveling.
Car seat and stroller system. They are pricey but very useful
A car seat is great
For sure the car seat!
A stroller is a necessity.
My Brest Friend nursing pillow, And blankets!
A safe and lightweight stroller .
The car seat and the stroller!
baby swing
Disposable diapers were always very welcome when I had a shower for the baby.
I love my ring sling! I can do things around the house and give my little guy all the attention he needs! I wish I would have gotten one sooner!
Crib mattress. Those things are expensive!
A car seat and high chair
infant Car seat and layette are most important for me in the bab registryy
A good stroller is a need with how much you use it. And cloth diapers.
Baby carrier…the only way to eat and go to bathroom hands free
Boppy pillow & car seat!
Swaddles! They don’t cost much, but they are a lifesaver!
A stroller is a necessity.
A bouncer was a life saver for me!
A travel system stroller is a must have, the kind that comes with a stroller and matching car seat w/ base.
A baby swing is a good item for a baby registry.
A thermometer just for baby!
One must have for a new baby: boppy pillow. Absolutely love that pillow.
I think a car seat is a necessity!
