I’m a soon to be Mom in October, late in life, and your advice is the best. Direct, no BS, I love it. Its useful for the young mamas and the moms like me who’ll be the oldest mom in yoga pants at the play date.

I had my baby in 2020 and your videos saved me hundreds just in registry purchases! Let alone the awesome advice (no crib, useless baby items etc. ) saving me time, money and sanity!

A pro to add: I love Babylist for their articles that are topical like: all things strollers, all things cribs, minimalism, first time mom ideas, and other themed ones that help you compare pros and cons of their picks. Of course, it depends if their picks are in your price range but it's very generous in inside scoop on the usability of items which has helped me rule out all the stuff I don't really need. - first time mom

As a soon-to-be mommy in April your videos are incredibly helpful!

Hey Mai! 36 weeks pregnant with baby #1 here and you have been so helpful throughout this whole process. I never would have known about all this free baby gear or been as prepared for delivery & postpartum if it wasn’t for your videos so thank you thank you THANK YOU!!! 🙌 🙏

Amazon offers 2 sets of the 15% off completion discount, which is amazing because I feel like I didn't get everything I needed on my first batch of purchases. Also, I was price comparing some items from Target and Amazon to Walmart and most mommy care postpartum essentials are 50% off or more at Walmart so it beats the 15% off completion of Target and Amazon. I'm really loving Walmart for all the mommy care needs. Such big bargains on post partum underwear, robes, breast pump bras, anti slip socks, ect... in comparison to Target and Amazon.

I’ve been waiting on this one yayyy🥰💖

Thank you this is super helpful! Due in April and was so overwhelmed with completing these registries

January 2023: freebie bags aren’t what they used to be. Between Covid supply issues and babies continuing to boom the Buy Buy Baby bag consisted of: an expired wipe, expired diaper cream, expired coupons, nearly expired baby lotion, probably expired belly cream (no date printed), but an awesome 4oz Dr Brown Bottle and a MAM pacifier. Amazon: I had to put in a tech support ticket with Amazon to get a bag delivered (all of my friends have struggled to get one as well), it’s on the way. Target: And Target has been out of bags for months in store and online. Best of luck out there to everyone!!!

You can return Amazon items at the UPS store the same way you do at kohls. No packing, etc.

For me, Baby List is totally worth it just for the box. Even with shipping, and a minimal purchase (which I ended up returning, so I just paid shipping) the box has better stuff than any other box I got (I got Target, Amazon, Walmart, and Noobie Box). Sadly, I don’t have a Buy Buy Baby in my state and their site said their freebie box is pick up only. Amazon requires a minimal purchase as well, but I got my Diaper Backpack on Black Friday for a great deal! I shared my Amazon registry, but my Target registry is pretty fleshed out for the completion discount!

I’m a soon to be mom in March 2022 (twin Girls) and love your videos. Thank you for doing this videos it’s so helpful.

So informative, thank you for sharing ♥️♥️♥️

Super useful!!! Thank you so much!!!! 🥰

I am pregnant with my first and this video was so so helpful! Thank you!

Amazon has a 365 day return policy for anything that is gifted to you from your registry, but if the registry owner buys them it's a 90 day return policy. I had just read that the other day and though that was pretty amazing!

Yes! I’ve started getting gifts from my Amazon registry and the gift receipts say 365 day returns!

Back in June of last year, Amazon made required $10 worth of things to be bought off of your registry before you could get the box. Still the best box I got. Love your video!

You can make returns for amazon by selecting a local ups store most times you dont have to pack it, having FedEx come get it but you have to pack it I think, or going to the Amazon warehouse think. I mainly just drop off at ups.

Great and helpful as always! Though I was searching in your videos for a hospital bag video.. would love to know in your experience and your opinion what are the actual essentials ! K bye! 👋🏼🤗

Something to add to about the walmart registry, since they reformed it, you or your gifters can no longer print the registery at customer service, you're suppose to be able to scan your receipt through the registry on the app and it take it off the registry however it's a bit glitchy and I'm not sure if they've worked that out yet.

Your baby videos are so helpful. Can you please make an updated version?? I alot of changes have been made and this video is really outdated

i found babylist the easiest for me to organize actually

I had Babylist for my first child and a majority of people were complaining about how complex it was 😩 I thought I was making it easier to give them store options and price comparisons. Wished I knew about the Amazon assistant and that Target is universal.

I like the twin bed in the background

21:28 I think the other sites do this better. Other sites allow the contribution to collect in the form of a gift card, while with BL only tells gift givers that's you'd prefer your money in cash (when they see you) or as a check they can mail. I prefer other sites for this. Plus, it's not clear whether BL requires your givers to have a PP account All this I got from a chat with a BL support member.

Amazing video. Let me be helpful in comments. TARGET IS YOUR GO TO. If you need the budget of walmart, you can add walmart items to your target registry since it’s universal!

The Group gifting and Universal baby registry are Amazing innovations

Amazon purchases can also be returned at UPS stores now

for target when you get the 15% completion coupon for the remaining items on your registry does the 15% coupon only apply to the target items or all items even if they came from other sites as well?

Started switching what I can from amazon to target because of the return timeframe 🤭 My address is overseas APO so target does not ship a lot to me 🥴

Question, can you receive a second box from Walmart? I got one for my second baby, but I tried signing up for my third baby and they stated that their records show that I already signed up for a box. Did anyone go through this too?

You have to spend $500 on your Amazon registry in order to get the 20% diaper discount but you can save buckets of money when you use that discount when diapers are on sale. I think there's a limit of how much you can save but I don't think most ppl will max it out. I love the diaper discount combined with a 20% off subscribe offer (that's almost half off!). Rare. But I can get brand name diapers for store brand prices sometimes, especially luvs (not my favorite bc they're scented but sorry baby, I can't argue with the price). I'll cancel the subscription afterwards (hey I'm here for a deal not loyalty, we're in a recession).

it has a $300 limit 😔, once you reach that limit, the 20% doesn’t work anymore. I reached my limit 3/4 of the year in

I also did the Amazon registry and did not recibe the swaddle blanket the only clothe piece was a onesies😣😔

I already have Amazon baby registry I’m still adding but how can I go and add the Amazon assistant? While I already have it

Amazon gives you 2 15 percent discounts...definitely used both of mine

Buy but baby don’t deliver 😞☹️☹️and the store is pretty far from me😢

Imma have a boy 2moro at 7a.m. Amazon sent me girl stuff. And babylist had me buy their over priced items after making a registry just to tell me they are out of free boxes.

Unfortunately buy buy baby is permanently closed and their website was taken down. Can you make an updated video? Best Baby registries for 2023??

I'm getting frustrated with creating my babylist registry- may abandon altogether. Very limited group giving and the items it is available on didnt seem to be the cheapest.

Is the Amazon baby box now $35? I’ve hit all my requirements for creating my registry and it says I can claim the offer but it wants $35

I fulfilled all the requirements. I have to wait for my $10 required order to " Ship" before it offers to redeem it in the welcome box.

The coupons in the gift bags are garbage. Most of them you have to pay an absurd amount of shipping to make up for the “coupon” you used Also Amazon does give 2 15% off completion discounts. Unless they changed that from last year

I tried to get the target registry bag in store and they said they stopped giving them away due to the pandemic.
