Hey Guys! So wanted to be specific on a few items I touched based on. 1) Put what you need on your registry but don't expect to receive everything even high ticket items. When purchasing left over items. you get a discount at buybuybaby on NOT JUST the items on your registry but on EVERYTHING you purchase at that time even if it is not on your registry. 2) EVERY BABY IS DIFFERENT! Which is why I recommend only getting one bottle from a brand and not multiple because you do not know if they will take it. My registry must haves video will be up next week. Hope this helps clarifies things.

I agree. My husband and I are nurses so all of the high priced items were purchased quickly from coworkers and friends. Many of them put money together and bought a group gift!

This is great, but def do add your high ticket items that you DO need. It doesn't matter if nobody gets it for you. You will get a completion discount, which applies to those items and it will save YOU money. Add EVERYTHING that you need and open registries at places that you know you will shop even if it is expensive. I created a Pottery Barn Kids registry and added the crib, the Nuna stroller, blankets, etc. My parents bought us the crib and went with us to use the completion discount on it to save them money. My In-laws gave us money for the stroller and same thing... used the completion discount towards it and saved some money. I never shared that registry with my friends. I just knew that there were high ticket items that I knew I absolutely wanted from there that our parents were willing to buy for us, so I added it and applied the funds they provided to buy it at a discounted price.

Target will give you a discount on the items on your registry that weren't bought so after your baby shower scan the like detergent for an extra discount

Swaddle blankets are a must. They are super versatile. We used them as burp cloth, diaper changing pads, car seat cover, stroller cover, breastfeeding cover, spit up clean up etc.

I actually received all/most of the high price items off my registry (including my crib)! Most of the items actually got shipped directly to my house so that's a great option for people who don't want to lug the item to the baby shower. I think it's great to give people the opportunity to purchase items at different price points because some people will actually want to help by purchasing those necessary higher priced items, especially if its your first baby.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH... for this info! I am 13 weeks and just starting my registry. This is my first baby, so though the adding to my registry is exciting, it's been quite overwhelming.

I'm currently 37weeks & 3days pregnant w/our second child (boy #2) & we we kept it super simple this time by only buying things we know well need like a few new outfits (mostly onesies), mittens (so he won't scratch his face), a couple bottles, a couple binkies, a new car seat, 3 packs of diapers (1 newborn & 2 size 1), 3 packs of wipes, a new baby bathtub, 2 shampoos, 1 lotion, 1 baby powder, 1 diaper rash cream, a rattle, gifted a new diaper bag & bassinet. I also got a bumbo bc even though he won't use it for the first few months I'll have it when he's ready. That's it. We kept our sons old crib, stroller & pack'n'play bc we knew we wanted more kids. I still use dreft on our 3y/o son's clothes so it's always stocked in our house & we still have baby washcloths that or son never used bc we bought too much stuff the first time around but this time we tried to play it smarter. (Thankfully our 3yr old is out of diapers & training pants just in time for us to start all over buying then again..lol.) I figure we're can buy anything else we need when the time comes.

Thanks for the heads up😊😊😊 love you!!💕💕💕

10:20 I've never had a problem with my Baby Brezza formula maker.

I have been using it since my son was 1 1/2 months and I'm planning on using it for my next son. I love it so much Especially at night. Works wonders.

Totally agree with everything you said ! I got the bare minimum with my two girls and they used everything , I did not have to get anything else the first few weeks .

90% of the gifts I got were not on my registry. Good thing to keep in mind. Make your registry but wait to buy things until after your shower. You never know what you’ll get because so many don’t use your registry. Also I promise you will get tons of clothes, blankets, a diaper bag and probably a swing lol. I just had my shower and I’ve been to so many and everyone gets those. I am very happy I waited to buy stuff until after my baby showers. I was able to see what I got and now I’m able to get what I actually need. I also am glad I had mine at 30 weeks instead of the usual 34 weeks. I’m 31 weeks now and have plenty of time to get what I need. It was so hard to wait to buy but again worth it. I received a lot of stuff I needed, if I had bought stuff before my shower I could have ended up with too many things and would have had to deal with either the wasted money or hassle of returning duplicates.

I know this is an older video, but honestly the best baby related video I’ve ever seen. Very helpful, thank you!

A lot of the times you don’t even get stuff from your registry. I got tons of gifts from my registry but few items that I needed for the first 5 months. So I had to go and buy that all after the fact. I rather get what I need for the first 5 months and then save and make the other purchases around 5 months instead of being hit with that huge bill all at once. That’s why I say focus and spend your money on what you need for the beginning stages and wait for the other purchases to spread out costs. Simplifying your registry will increase your chances of getting the necessary 0-5 month items. Hope this makes sense💕

This was so helpful! Thank you!

Total agree with most of your suggestions... 1 4pk aden and anais Blanket, at least 10 wash cloths, all free and clear detergent, preferably just two bottles sets for eg dr brown has a 6 (4oz & 8oz)piece set for 20$. I tested my baby brezza water and formula measurement often and its exact, However I started using it 5 months. A boppy chair is awesome to start with if you don’t want to get a high chair. My registry has things up to a year and I got almost everything but you’re so right in keeping it small

I put high-ticket items on my registry specifically for any discounts I get towards the end of my pregnancy! Getting 15% off everything left from both Target and Amazon.

As a mommy of 2..soon to be 3....there is nothing wrong with putting different pacifiers or bottles on your registries. What you don’t want to do is add only a specific brand as you really don’t know which brand baby will like.

This is soooo helpful

Hey girl!

Don't put newborn diapers 😂 just buy a pack. They barely go through the newborn diapers. Also, swaddles are amazing. The muslin ones. You don't have to use it as a swaddle, you can use it to cover baby in car seat or for tummy time too! For high chairs, think about the future...like, a convertible one. I love the Graco one, we use them for our babies at work and we get a lot of use out of it. Breast pumps tho: totally depends on you. I always hear good things about the Spectra s2 though. I just got a brand new one from a friend so I'm probably going to get the Medela from my insurance. AND GET A BACKPACK DIAPER BAG. trust man.

If you put high ticket items on your registry with target, closer to the end of pregnancy whatever you didn’t get goes on 15-20% off sale

I wish I’d gotten more swaddle blankets. My baby loves them. She’s also very good with bottles. I haven’t used one that she didn’t like. I have at least one of all the bigger brands of bottles and she loves them all. I lucked out on that. She’s also been great with diapers too. Have had no issues with the different brands I’ve gotten (got multiple in case she was allergic to a specific brand)

You have to have your high ticket items... people go in in a group. I didn’t purchase any of my expensive items and I think that’s true for a lot of my friends and stuff! People buy you shampoo and lotion without asking or on the registry haha they go crazy! Baby towels are a complete waste. I use regular towels. Agree on swaddles. I have so many. She didn’t like being swaddled. Used zero

You are awesome, this is so helpful. Off topic - I love your hair and headband!! Where did you find it?

The best monitor was an Angelcare Movement Monitor. Saved our daughters life.

I have lots of diapers on my registry because we're doing cloth diapers and those are harder to find and harder for people to know what we want and like. I also have a universal registry which allows me to put "must have" next to the items that I really need. All the rest is extra and if I get it, great, but if I don't no sweat.

You still get a discount of 15-20% from Amazon and a 15% discount from Target for anything you do put on the registry that doesn't get bought, so I still think it's worth it to add the expensive stuff. Even if you have to buy it yourself, it saves you money to put it on there.

I guess we were lucky because most of the high priced/most needed items were purchased off of my registry. Crib, dresser, bedding set, stroller, 2 car seats, swing and etc., of course we got all the clothes and diapers and smaller items people usually buy you too but really thankful our friends and family got us what we wanted.

when you make a registry at some places (I did Buy Buy Baby and Target) they will give you a free bag of samples for registering with them. I got about 4/5 different bottles that I'm going to try first before I buy any bottles to see what my baby will like. they also give you little samples of diapers, wipes, soap, lotions so you can try those and figure out what your baby likes before you splurge

For diapers, also be careful because sometimes they are allergic too then and you have to use cloth diapers.

you need to test formula first. Add a small ziplock bag or cling wrap under the formula dispenser. make a bottle. the water will go into the bottle but the cling wrap will catch the formula. Then measure the formula in the cling wrap with the formula scoop. eg see if it give the exact amount for 4oz bottle. then adjust the setting if need. i never had issues with the breeza because of this test,

Love the tips on the registry. I love your necklace, where did you get it from?

It’s so funny the differences with moms. I absolutely loveeeee the on the go changing stations. I always keep wipes, a few diapers and an outfit in mine with bags that smell so fresh. It has been a life saver for us. I can’t count how many times I’ve used it. I just clip it on the handles of my diaper bag that I had specially made for us. Many times in the car on trips, long or short. With my two older kids hello hello wasn’t around. I used pampers baby dry that’s what worked for them and natural wipes. Then pampers and huggies when they were older but mostly pampers.&I personally preferred huggies natural care wipes over the pampers wipes. With my youngest he was just as sensitive as my other kids but 10x worse &hello bello has been a god send! The only diapers that worked for him. We use all their products. Even my older kids do. Now that he’s moving around crawling/starting to walk; we use the huggies movers and the hello bello. Also with my youngest he used all the things my other two didn’t like. Ie: binkies, the wubbanub to be exact. We bought those and the mam to try. He loved to be swaddled for the first month atleast . It’s funny how different kids are. I think a lot of moms go over board and get a swing, a bouncy a this a that. To be honest I think they should wait and get maybe just one item like that or if they have any family members or friends that have babies. Try something they have see if they like it.. some babies don’t like swings or mamaroos etc. I think you did well with the tips you gave :)

Tommy tippe colic bottles are really good for gas and same with dr brown

We did the book thing at my baby shower instead of so many cards to figure out where to put

I was planning on buying all the big stuff (pack n play car seat stroller) cause I’m worried my family will be too cheap so I was just gonna ask for diapers and wipes for my baby shower lol 😩

I say go for it, put it on there... for a new baby in the family, you may be surprised they will be willing to help you. I thought of doing the same, then didn't and all grandparents are getting us big price items. Very grateful 🙏🏻... so never know if you don't try/ask

Anything like pacifiers or swaddles I didn’t but because you don’t know if they will take it or liked to be swaddled . You will find out later if they are cluster feeding then they might need a pacifier and the swaddle if they have been good with the hospital ones then get more but all this can be be bought as you go along. The best thing my opinion to spend money on is stroller , carrier, and crib mattress.

I love your videos I'm due August 7th! So need all the help I can get!!
