Must Have Baby Items For Your Amazon Baby Registry

 

Are you wondering: What are the best baby items from Amazon for your baby registry?

I’m going to share my list of mom-approved baby items and supplies for your Baby Registry. A baby registry checklist for first-time moms.

Amazon is one of my favorite places for shopping baby items and I'm going list my favourite baby items from AMAZON but before that...

When to set up your Amazon Baby Registry

You can really set up your baby registry at any time! My first pregnancy I started pretty much right after I found out I was pregnant.

It takes a long time to research the best baby products and decide what will work best for you and your family. This can depend on a lot of factors, such as:

• Are you a first time mom or starting from scratch?
• Will you be getting a lot of hand-me-downs?
• Will you need extra items for the nanny, daycare, or family member’s house?
• Do you have a large house and you need baby stations in each room?

Take some time to think about these things as you are crafting your baby registry. Also, another thing to consider is if you will be having a baby shower. When will your baby shower be?

Most baby showers are thrown in the third trimester, however I chose to have mine around 26 weeks. I knew I needed to have my baby registry nailed down a few weeks before to allow time for guests to order gifts.

Must Have Baby Items

Below is a full checklist to help you! This is everything that I got and used the first year for my twins. I have provided links to my favorite Amazon baby products. 

Nursery & Decor:

CRIBS - There are so many crib styles to choose from but I love the clean lines of this crib. This beautiful crib also converts to a toddler bed with the included conversion kit. (Shop Now)

BABY SHEETS - I also recommend 2 or 3 sets of sheets. That way you have an extra when one is in the wash and also have backup in case of middle-of-the-night accidents. (Shop Now)

MATTRESS -  I love this organic mattress because you don’t have to worry about baby breathing in any harmful chemicals while they are sleeping. (Shop Now)

SOUND MACHINES - We have two of these sound machines in our house. My two girls each have one in their bedrooms. This is absolutely the best sound machine and it produces a real white noise sound by pushing air through the machine, instead of a recorded white noise sound often found with other sound machines. (Shop Now)

CLOTH HANGERS - You're going to need these wooden hangers if you plan on hanging your baby clothes. (Shop Now)

MATTRESS COVERS - This will keep the baby mattress from getting wet and dirty. we keep 2 on hand in case you need to change it in the middle of the night. (Shop Now)

CHANGING / DRESSING DRAWERS - we use a dresser as a changing table and put a changing pad on top for more comfort. No need to buy an extra piece of furniture. (Shop Now)

BASSINET - I love how this bassinet has mesh sides and how the rail folds down for easy baby retrieval from bed. (Shop Now)

ROCKING / FEEDING CHAIR - Having a comfortable rocking chair to use when feeding and bonding with your baby, especially during late night feedings, is priceless. (Shop Now)

PORTABLE CRIB - a portable crib is a must-have for traveling. Its also great for naps at grandparent’s or friend’s houses. (Shop Now)

INFANT CAR SEAT - Infant car seats are best for the first year of life or until your baby outgrows the weight/height limits for the car seat you choose. It’s nice to have the option of removing the whole car seat to bring inside your home without disturbing your sleeping baby. If you plan on using your infant car seat in more than one car you should also purchase an extra infant car seat base. With an extra infant car seat base you won’t have to worry about reinstalling your car seat base every time you want to switch cars. (Shop Now)

CAR SEAT COVER - Love this organic car seat cover! While it is stylish it is also very versatile and can double as a shopping cart cover, restaurant high chair cover, and nursing cover! (Shop Now)

PORTABLE CLOTH DRYING RACK – we love this for traveling. Its a smaller portable version of our favorite Boon Drying Rack. (Shop Now)

BABY SPOONS – Your baby will likely start baby food around 4 months old so these are great to add to your list. (Shop Now)

BREAST PUMP – if you plan on nursing or pumping you will want a breast pump. With many insurance plans you can get a breast pump for free, but if you don’t have insurance or want an extra I highly recommend the Spectra S1 Double Electric Breast Pump. (Shop Now)
