How many places should I register? What type of things does one register for? How many items should I register for? Do I register for the bigger price items too? When I had my first baby 7 years ago, I was a older teen mom and I did it all on my own with either hand me downs or garage sale stuff. Now that I am having one the right way (being married and all that jazz), my family and friends are having a shower and suggesting that I register. My family says one thing, but I thinking another. Please help settle the debate.... THANKS!

Briona
Answer
For bathing:
-Baby towel
-soft brush (for if they have hair)
-baby lotion
-baby soap (more for when they are a little older)
-infant bath tub (or a sink works fine)
-washcloths
Changing:
-Diapers
-wipes
-Rash cream
-small changing pads
-Diaper disposer
Feeding (for breast feeding):
-Breast pads
-breast pump
-burp cloths
-pacifier (I didn't use one because I didn't want them to form that habit)
-nipple cream
-bottles an nipples (even if you are breast feeding)
Feeding (formula):
-obviously formula
-bottles and nipples
-water (be sure its safe)
-bottle warmer
-Bottle brush, buy a few because in my experience they don't last for long.
Feeding after 6 months:
-Bib
-baby spoons - plastic coated ones are the best
-sippy cup - I like the ones with handles for first time drinkers
-baby food and cereal also plain mashed potato flakes are easy to fix and cheap
-Juice
-High Chair
Sleeping:
-Crib
-receiving blankets
-sheets (at least two in case baby throws up or something)
-baby monitor (I like the Angelcare - Deluxe Movement Sensor with Sound Monitor Angelcare -Deluxe Movement Sensor with Sound Monitor we bought the 2 parent monitor yes it is expensive but it is wonderful!)
-sleep suits
-waterproof mattress pads
Car basics:
-Car seat (I had mine installed at the fire station for safety)
-sun screen for the car window
-If you want you could buy one of those baby mirrors
-It helps if you keep a few extra supplies in your car just in case you forget something ;)
clothes - don't buy too many you will receive a lot of 0-3 month clothes at your baby shower
- If you get too many which you probably will take them back and buy a bigger size. Figure out how old your child will be the next time the season comes around and buy that size
- pajamas - buy lots of these, 4 to 6 pairs, because they are easy to change and keep your newborn warm
-socks (LOTS OF THEM!!!!)
-onesies
-Warmer sweater or fleece shirts are great for winter
-Hat
Great extras:
-swing - some children love these and some don't
-stroller - I used to take my son on walks for exercise.
-bassinet - this is nice because you can keep the baby closer for the first month
- rocking chair - babies love the rocking motion
-Teething ring (more for when your baby is older.)
-Pack and Plays are amazing for when you travel!
-Car seat & Stroller toys
Medical supplies/safety:
-thermometer - I prefer digital thermometers over mercury ones.
-infant ibuprofen, Tylenol, or both - You don't want to be running to the drugstore when your child is sick.
-teething tablets
-nail clippers - the scissor kind is worthless, get small clippers that look like adult ones
-fire alarm
-carbon monoxide detector
-safety gates
-outlet covers
-toilet seat latches
-stove and oven guards
-Cabinet & drawer latches
-Bumpers (for sharp cornered objects)
-Nasal aspirator
-saline drops
Things for in your diaper bag----

-change of clothes (for you and your baby)
-6-8 diapers
-travel container of wipes
-changing pad
-ziplock bags for soiled clothing and diaper disposal
-rash cream
-hand sanitizer
-first aid kit
-extra hats, mittens and, socks
-blanket teething ring

-burp cloths
-an index card with your phone number and your hubby's and your pediatrician or any other important numbers
