I remember when I got preggers with all my babies and that overwhelming feeling needing so many things and wondering how I was going to get it all. A registry is a great way to let friends and family know exactly want you want and need.
When I signed up for a registry I went straight to Babies“R”Us because I knew that they were close by, well stocked, and had all the major brands at affordable prices.
Right now Babies“R”Us is running The Sweetest Registry Deal Ever for new parents! One of my favorite things about their registry was that you received a coupon for a one time purchase off your total but they’ve sweetened the deal. Big time. Now, you get 10% of the value spent back in a gift card!
For the first time ever, you can get up to $200 for purchases made from your registry. Simply create your Baby Registry between Sept. 16 and Nov. 15! Then you’ll receive a Promotional Gift Card e-mailed to you approximately 10 weeks after your expected arrival date, valued at 10% (up to $200) of the items purchased from your registry.*
If you’ve never created a registry before then know you can do it both online or in store. I personally think you should visit the store at least once so you can see all the items in person and make sure they are the products you really want. If you already know what you want going online is a great option too. I always started mine in the store and then made any changes I needed to make at home.
When starting make sure you start with the big things like furniture, bedding, car seat & stroller, swing, entertainment center, high chair, etc. Once you have all that figured out make sure to stock up on the little things you’ll need. Don’t just think of that brand new baby, remember to add things you’ll need the entire first year!
Right now one (1) Mom Spotted readers has the opportunity to win a $50 Babies“R”Us Gift Card. To enter use the Rafflecopter form below. Good Luck!

I love the boppy pillow. It’s great for propping up baby during feedings.
I love the sleep n play rocker. It is great to have by the bed.
I like a baby swing, because it usually soothed my babies.
A pack n play with a napper on top, it is so nice to have & convenient!
The boppy pillow with the cover. A swing n bounce too!
Some many things I could buy my baby girl!
I think an essential is a Boppy Pillow, its funny because before my youngest son I assumed they were just an extravagance but after having a c-section I discovered a Boppy was a lifesaver for feedings.
A carrier of some sort is essential in my opinion. Wether it be a sling, a wrap, or a soft structure carrier. I have found that when my little ones are babies they enjoy the closeness that they are missing from being in the womb. These also make getting stuff done around the house a lot easier.
A Baby Swing is a great thing to have.
I love the Rock n Play sleeper, because it keeps my son cuddled up and warm. I like that it keeps him upright, it helps with his reflux.
Love our Baby Swing. our klds really loved them.
A jumper! Even though you can’t use it for a few months it will be something that will entertain your child long enough to get in the shower! I son would jump in it all day if I would have let him.
A must have would be a diaper pail
Must have… a carseat, I really like that some infant carriers have higher weight limits now. I usually leave the carseat in the car and use a sling, but have always prefered infant carrier type of seats for newborns.
A lightweight and safe stroller is a must-have to me.
a car seat
I really want to get this but it is a bit pricey Graco 2-in-1 Glider Elite Swing – Brompton
A baby swing to help sooth your baby and a video monitor to make sure your baby is ok and also to make mom feel better leaving baby alone.
Definitely a jumparoo. That kept my son entertained for hours on end. I think that was his favorite baby item, even over his swing.
I love my double breast pump! It allows me to pump in half the time!
I really want to get that sophie teething giraffe.
My MUST HAVE baby product is the KACY Collection Morgan Glidier and Ottoman in Crushed Silver and White Contrast Piping. EVERY registry should have this on there. What a cozy and special spot to rock your baby to sleep in. If Mama is cozy, baby will be cozy and have a nice peaceful sleep.
My sleepy wrap baby carrier, that was the only thing that would help calm my little girl down.
A good carrier! I don’t know how i lived without my moby, boba and woven wraps!
i would say dipaers and wipes because you always need plenty of both.

Every new parent needs a Pack-n-Play Port-a-Crib. These provide for not only comfortable sleeping for baby while only on the go, but also can be priceless to keep baby safe while Mom and Dad clean, make a bottle, or just take a minute to themselves while baby is napping.
Diapers, a Boppy or Mambo pillow and the extra base for a car seat!
a good swing! When you need a break, the swing is the go-to baby gear item must have.
my favorite was the boba bag. tweet was my favorite print
The Boppy pillow was wonderful for nursing, laying a baby back, sitting up and more.
Swaddling blankets are a MUST. They are such a reassurance and can calm an otherwise very upset child in a very short time.
I loved my pack-n-play because it had a built in changing table.
a crib is a must have!
I think cloth diapers should be! Not for the fact of using them as a diaper but for the fact that it is so much better to use as a burp rag than a burp rag!
I love the boppy pillow because it is great for feedings and resting. The covers are washable and the pillows are comfortable for the baby.
A fabulous jogging stroller should be on every registry–so that you can get back in shape after having the baby!
diapers and diapers!
Baby blankets to keep the newborn warm and cozy…
aden and anais swaddling blankets

Nancy
I love the Fisher Price Papasan Swing! It freed my hands for a little bit while I did laundry or cooking.
Whatever type of diapers you plan on using, whether it’s disposable or cloth.
I provide childcare for an infant that is now 13 weeks old. Because I’m able to swaddle him he is able to relax and go to sleep. A good swaddle should be on every registry!

My lifesaver was the My Breast Friend Nursing Pillow. I had to have one with both of my girls. It’s great to have even if you don’t nurse. It can help hold the baby if you need your arms and it’s flat so tht the baby doesn’t fall off like a boppy pillow. Thank you!!

A mirror for the backseat of your car. In the early stages, it really eased my mind to be able to see her while driving.
