Creating a baby registry is exciting, but it can also be intimidating and a bit overwhelming. With so many products on the market, and new ones coming out all the time, it’s tough deciding what to say “yay” or “nay” to. Reshma Khatri, MD, PPG – Pediatrics, is here to help mothers-to-be, with her tips for a smart registry focused on practicality, safety and the development of your little one.
Many people start a baby registry once they find out they’re expecting, but it’s important to keep researching products and adding them to your list as your pregnancy progresses. Also, don’t be afraid to reach out to friends and family who have infants and young children. Get their honest opinions on the latest and greatest so you can feel informed as you compile your list.
If this isn’t your first baby, your registry may be slightly different because you probably already have the basic items and supplies at home. The items listed below are based on what any caregiver might need and use within the first few months with a little one. Remember, you can always add things to your registry based on your baby’s individual needs, but these are a few of my favorites to help you get started.
As you begin your journey into parenthood, don’t forget that every family and baby is different. What worked for a loved one or friend may not work for you. At the end of the day, it’s not about fancy products. It’s about you and your new little one. But if you’re still feeling overwhelmed or unsure once your baby is born, please speak with your pediatrician. They can help guide you in the right direction.
