Baby Registry: A Guide to Everything You Need (2024 Updated!)

Updated: Mar 1

I’m excited to share with you guys my baby registry! Being a first-time mom can be so overwhelming! However, if you are anything like me, you wanted to get started immediately. I am all about keeping things organized, so I went onto Pinterest, where I found lists to categorize my registry items. I wanted to make sure to choose what I needed and left out whatever was not worth it. I hate clutter, and keeping my sanity is high on the list of important tasks!


For starters, where you do your registry matters! My best friend, Coco, helped me with this one as I always saw Amazon as the best option (prime shipping, duh!). However, she encouraged I'd go with Babylist because you can pull items from any store or site (BuyBuy Baby, Target, Amazon) and add them directly to one registry! Everything is in one place! Hallelujah! Also, you can do your Babylist straight from your phone (there is an app) or your computer. No need to overwhelm yourself with an actual store which is awesome! Especially since pregnancy will have you all sorts of tired. Mama's, I promise you it's easy to use and stay organized. I highly recommend it!
