When to start baby registry
What To Put On Baby Registry 2020 | simple checklist for first time moms
hey everyone it's Nancy and welcome to
my channel for today's video I'm gonna
share with you guys what's on my baby
registry list so I'm currently pregnant
with my first baby and we had our baby
shower earlier this year and it was so
exciting planning the baby shower
especially getting to work on the baby
registry but the same time it could be
very overwhelming because I had no idea
where to even start there's so much
information out there and it's such an
exciting time but there's just so many
options so in this video I'm going to
share with you guys I look on my baby
registry list and I'm gonna break it
down by category and different products
I'd go under each one some of the
products I have on hand because they
were gifted to me from my friends and
family at our shower and some I'm just
gonna tell you guys the basic category
and you guys can do your own research as
to which one works for you and I know it
could be so overwhelming because there's
so many options out there in terms of
products so I'm gonna keep it super
simple and to the point of like the main
essentials that I think you need and of
course there's always so many out there
and I don't know it all but this is just
what I put on my registry and the main
items that I think you need so hopefully
you guys will find it helpful
so for clothes I put a lot of onesies
and basics on my registry because I new
clothes are so simple and fun to buy
that show polyb getting a lot of outfits
but I really want to stick with some
basic simple items like a onesie so this
is just like a long-sleeved onesie and
it's super cute it's super simple I feel
like every baby needs this and so it's
good to have a lot of these on hand and
a lot of sizing that I chose were a few
newborn mostly 0 to 3 months and 3
months because I don't know how big baby
is gonna be after she's born so she
could automatically jump into the 0 to 3
month sizing and skip newborn completely
so just have a few on hand just in case
cuz you never know but these are awesome
and then another recommendation that I
heard from my friends aren't you get
footed pajamas so here is an example of
one and this is a zero to three month
sizing so these are so cute baby will
probably be living in this and I think
for the newborn in 0-3 months sizing
they always have like these little
mitten cuffs so you could just split the
Oh
and to protect their hands from
scratching their face
so obviously I'm super new to all these
baby clothes because I that's gonna be
my first time being a mom but I really
think these are so cute and so handy and
a great thing about these onesies are
the zipper goes from the bottom up so
when you're doing diaper changes you
don't have to like unbutton everything
or unzip from the top and baby will be
cold up top you can just zip it up to
like right here and you can change their
diaper so I thought that was super cool
I don't know of anyone else's nerding
out like me either but I thought that
was super awesome and super genius it's
like things you don't think about until
you have to change a diaper so I'm happy
my friends told me about this so this
one is by cloud island and it's a brand
they carry at Target so I think they
usually sell these in a pack of three so
definitely go and check them out I think
these are so cute
so another item to consider are these
mittens for baby look how cute they are
and they're just to protect their hands
from scratching their face so in case
baby is wearing an outfit where that
doesn't have like the mitten cuff you
can get one of these next we have sleep
sacks and swaddle and I didn't put too
many of these on my registry because I
don't know which one baby is gonna like
more because I hear some babies love
being swaddled like the traditional way
some prefer like sleep sacks like these
so I just thought I would put a few and
then test it out and see whatever baby
likes so that's something to consider
and there's just so many different ones
out there some styles that look like
this there's some that are the
traditional one where you'll wrap them
up I have no idea how to swaddle baby
yet so don't ask me I'll probably get
back to you soon but yeah there's just
so many options out there so definitely
do your research and ask around but
ultimately you won't know until your
baby is here and you try it out yourself
to see what your baby prefers so that's
just something to keep in mind so now
moving on to the transportation category
we're gonna talk about strollers and
this portion of the video is sponsored
by colugo I was so excited to partner
them to share more information about
their stroller I actually discovered
Kaluga when I was doing some research on
Instagram on different strollers out
there again there's so many brands I
came across their Instagram page and I
thought it was super cool what they're
trying to do create a new sleek and
stylish a functional stroller for a new
generation of parents that really spoke
to me because I'm gonna be a first-time
mom and all this is so new to me and I
just really love their style and their
brand and just their overall missions so
I'm so excited to share one of their
strollers with you the one that I have
is called the complete stroller and it's
in the color olive and I think it's so
beautiful stylish and functional so
let's dive in so this is the colugo
complete stroller in the color olive
it's such a beautiful color I've never
seen an olive green stroller before so I
really like that but if you guys are
interested in different colors I totally
have it they have a classic black a pink
floral design and a blue so the peekaboo
window on the canopy is magnetic so it's
really quiet and easy to use
also the canopy is a UPF 50 plus canopy
and it also has a shade extension so all
you have to do is just unzip it and
extend it out so something that is super
important to me in terms of a stroller
is having a large storage basket and I
really love this one because it has
three pockets and it can hold up to a 22
pound weight limit and so it's super
sleek you can fit a whole bunch of stuff
in there so let me know if this is also
a priority for you

so when it comes time to fold up the
stroller it was relatively easy it
definitely takes some practice and I
love that once you fold it it stands up
without falling over so that part's
really cool and then you just pop it
right open secure everything into place
with the bumper bar and you're good to
go another wonderful feature about the
stroller is that it is car seat
compatible in Kaluga sells different
adapters so you could turn this stroller
into a travel system so there are so
many cool features to the stroller and I
won't we show you guys just a few right
now but it also comes with really
awesome accessories like a rain cover
and infant kit if you want to use the
stroller right away with your infant and
as a soon-to-be first-time parent I've
never really used a stroller before
other than like pushing it when it's re
open from like my friends and family so
there's definitely a small learning
curve and trying to figure out where
things are and trying to figure out how
to fold and unfold but once I got the
hang of it I read the instructions it
was relatively easy so it definitely
takes some practice and I think that
goes for anything so one thing I didn't
get a chance to show you in the clips is
that the seat is a modular design which
means a seat can face forward or you can
like take it off and face it towards you
so when your baby is a lot smaller and
you want to see them you can turn it the
other way and your face baby or when the
baby wants to go out and see the world
you could turn the seat right around so
I thought that was really really cool if
you guys want to learn more about colugo
and their products and their mission
I'll be sure to list it all in the
description below for your reference and
I also have a promo code that you guys
can check out so thank you so much again
to colugo for sponsoring this portion of
the video so some other items to
consider in the transportation category
are car seats baby carriers I know
there's so many different variations of
baby carriers out there like the rat
carriers ring slings structure carriers
so definitely go ahead and do your
research for the ones that you guys like
the most diaper bags and then also a
portable changing pad so moving on to
bath time it definitely needs some
washcloths I might pick up a few more
off Gama's on like the really basic
white muslin
once I hear they're really really soft
and it's just good to have on hand so
washcloths for sure and next I have a
super-cute tub by angel care and it's
super soft so baby can lay right here
it's good for zero to six months and you
just put this in your bathtub and it
just contours right here to fit your
baby so they'll be really comfortable
while you pour water over like they'll
just drain automatically because you can
see the holes right here and I just
thought this was super sleek and super
simple and I heard great things about it
and I know there's a bunch of different
ones out there so definitely see which
one you guys like I didn't realize at
the time when I made my registry that
there are so many that can fit in your
sink as well so that's something to
consider too depending where you want to
give your baby a bath whether it's in
the bathtub and you put this in or over
the sink it's so cool people are
bringing to the market that are really
handy so yeah that's something else to
consider because I wish I put that on my
registry so after you wash your baby you
gotta have some towels to dry baby and
keep them nice and cozy so these are
super cute infant headed towels they
could get from Target again we have like
a lemon theme going on here there's so
many I'm probably gonna pick up a few
more towels like the basic muslin white
ones that are really good to have and of
course the hooded ones are adorable
there's so many out there with like cute
hoodies that look like unicorns and just
different styles so it's always good to
have a few of these so for the diaper
category I just kept it really simple
and I requested a few boxes of diapers
and baby wipes and the ones I went with
our Pampers Swaddlers for newborn and
then the Pampers pure-white so if we're
nursing I have a few items listed on my
phone so I don't forget any of them and
the first one are baby bottles if you're
planning to use them a baby bottle
drying rack when you're cleaning and
they need a space to dry
I hear the hakka a manual breast pump is
awesome actually got gifted it right
here so I look like this I hear it's
amazing um for when you're breastfeeding
on one side and then if milk comes out
on the other you have this attached
don't quote me a hundred percent I'm
pretty sure that's how it works but
obviously I haven't started
breastfeeding yet by here it's
amazing and simple to use and then the
next item is a breast pump but I would
go ahead and check your insurance first
to see if they cover a breast pump I
feel like a lot of insurances do or
they'll uncover a majority of the cost
before you put on your registry but it
doesn't hurt to at the same time unless
you have one in mind that is normally
not covered by insurance so that's
something to keep in mind also a
sterilizers to sterilize your bottles
and everything like that and then some
burp cloths so moving on to the nursery
or whatever room that baby's gonna be
sleeping in I would highly recommend
putting a crib on there and for this
just because it's such a high ticket
item that sometimes your friends and
family might pull together to purchase
that for you it doesn't hurt just having
it on there or if you need a bassinet
that's also good too depending on
whatever sleeping situation that you
want for your baby so a baby monitor a
changing pad if you don't want to do
like a traditional changing pad on top
of a dresser there's a lot of portable
ones out there as well so you have a
good space to give baby a diaper change
so some other items to consider adding
to your registry are baby pillow
loungers and I have two with me to show
you guys I registered for the Bakke and
it looks like this I got this in the
Barenaked a style because I want to pick
out my own cover for it I know a lot of
them come with covers already so
depending on whatever style you like you
have this option of buying a cover sent
separately the slipcover that I chose is
actually from Pottery Barn Kids and it
looks like this so I really like this
design where it's like a gray with
brushstrokes it kind of looks like polka
dots but it's not but you could totally
have a lot of fun with in by different
slipcovers for your Bobby so I think
that only goes with the bare naked
version otherwise they come with I guess
the cover design already so I have that
so the next one I have is the docket ah
and this was gifted to us from my cousin
you know super sweet of her to do so
I've heard so many wonderful things
about this this baby lounger so you just
put baby right here in the middle and
they'll be really safe and sound while
they loud
and hang out with you but I got you guys
so this is taking up the whole screen
but another baby essential to consider
adding to your registry is a baby
bouncer and the one I went with is by
BabyBjorn and this is their bouncer
balance soft and it's a manual bouncer
yeah I love how sleek it looked when I
was deciding which one to go with and
it's just a great place to put baby and
have them be occupied and they're safe
in there while you're doing errands or
somewhere around the house I just looked
really awesome when I was doing research
and it's a manual one so they'll just
kind of naturally bounce when they're
moving and also I love how sleek it is
and when you fold it up for storage
reasons and it just looked really soft
so here is the box and look like this so
I know there's so many out there there's
like ones that are electronic you could
plug in and they'll just kind of move on
their own but I really like this for
simplicity reasons and also that it just
looked really comfy and safe for baby so
