Boob Necessities if Breastfeeding – If you’re breastfeeding, you need so so many things I could write a post on it. But I highly recommend the Medela Cream, extra milk storage bags, and if you pump, extra pump parts. Also go the the breastfeeding support group at the hospital where you gave birth.Just print out the PDF online to figure out how to use it! Highly recommend this one because it has two straps and distributes the baby’s weight equally on your shoulders. I started with a Maya wrap but it hurt my shoulder. Baby K’tan – I loved this baby carrier, it was awesome for the witching hour.Pottery Barn Kids blackout curtains were awesome, as were the blackout blinds we purchased from Select Blinds.

Here’s what I wished I would have registered for!Ģ0 things you really need on your baby registry Seriously, we didn’t use half of that crap! I mean who needs 42 baby washcloths? Or a spout cover for your tub with a newborn? I literally returned so many of the things we registered for to purchase diapers. Bumpers, and wipe warmers, and pacifier wipes oh my! I bought it all, like a schmuck and lived to regret it. It got me thinking to all those ridiculous things we registered for.
