As a first-time mom, I have NO IDEA what to put on my baby registry – there are a million different gadgets and options out there, and honestly, it has left my head spinning!

This is why I left the registry ideas up to YOU guys – I compiled a list of all your guys’ suggestions along with doing some of my own research to make this list! I’ve divided the items into categories and I will highlight a few of the top items for you guys which hopefully will make this process easier for you!

TOP 10 SUGGESTED ITEMS:

  1. Nose Frida: This was by far the most suggested item for my registry (along with anything FRIDABABY). The “Nose Frida” is a doctor-invented nasal aspirator that actually works. A great way to clear your baby’s stuffy nose.

2. Dock-a-tot: The DockaTot is an award-winning baby docking station perfect for lounging, playtime, and rest. The DockaTot has been highly tested for harmful chemicals and substances and it passes with flying colors making it a great non-toxic option for your baby!

3. Boppy Nursing Pillow: If you plan on breastfeeding this Boppy nursing pillow comes highly rated! It’s small enough to fit in a rocking chair while feeding but large enough to give the lift you and your baby need. You can place the pillow around your front or side waist to get the best support for your feeding style: cradle, cross-cradle, football hold, or bottle feeding.

4. Owlet Sock: The owlet sock is a “smart sock” that measures your baby’s oxygen levels and heart rate while they sleep. A lot of mommy’s praise this sock saying it allowed them to sleep without worrying about SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). I had a lot of mixed opinions on these specific products – a lot of nurses wrote me saying that they tell their patients to NOT use it since it can send off false alarms but I had some people write me saying it saved their children’s lives. Another thought to factor in – this little sock does give off EMF radiation which can pose harmful effects to your baby (here’s an article on EMFs and children). I think that this is a gut decision product – choose what feels right to you, there’s no wrong answer.

5. 4moms MamaRoo: The MamaRoo is a high-tech bouncer that is designed to simulate the motions parents do when comforting their newborn. This bouncer is the talk of the town but the downside is it does have an expensive price tag. The manufacturer has confirmed that this product is free from flame retardants and phthalates and is made with as many natural materials as possible (i.e. little or no polyurethane foam).

6. Haaka Milk-Saver: This Haakaa breastmilk collector allows you to collect breastmilk that would otherwise be wasted in a breast pad. It’s handsfree, comfortable and BPA free!

7. Hatch Sound Machine: This Hatch sound machine also acts as a night light, clock, two-way audio monitor, and more! You can customize the color and brightness of the light as well as choose from a variety of different sounds!

8. Snuggle Me Organics: This is an alternative to the “DockaTot Lounger”. The main difference is that the Snuggle me Organic has more of a hugging action because of its center sling design.

9. Zip-up Onesies: I was told zipper onesies are a must when you are having to do middle-of-the-night changes. I love these bamboo zipper footies from Kyte Baby that are said to be extra comfortable and breathable for your baby.

10. Velcro Swaddles: Swaddles give babies a cozy, womb-like feeling that can help them sleep better throughout the night. Velcro options like the SwaddleMe Swaddles make it easy for you to dress and undress your baby for changes.

  1. Bridgette,

    I think u did a great job compiling for a baby registry as a first time mom! I have tried quite a lot of these products as a mom of 2 and most of them are a MUST HAVE! the only one I had some trouble with was the baby Brezza it did not mix the formula correctly was putting too little of the powder in and after buying two of them I still couldn’t get it to work so I gave up but that was about 3 years ago and might have got a bad batch because I seen so many people saying it was the best! I had the Nuna Pipa and it was by far my favorite infant car seat, the only other one i really would like is the orbit baby g5 because u can swivel it into the door of your car and put baby in and out easier and it’s a little more snug down and for convertible I really love the new Nuna Exec better than the Rava it grows longer and it doesn’t sit as tall up into the car the base is closer to the seat vs the seat being mid window how the rava and maxi cosi Magellan Max both fit into my car the rava isn’t as bad but I like the exec better.

    I love seeing ur posts!

    Amazing new baby supply list!! I have had 3 children and agree with these suggestions. It has been 6 years since I had my youngest son and there are some impressive new items that were not available yet when I had my 3 sons! Most notable, the breast pump you can put INSIDE your bra, the Elvie Electric Wearable Smart Breast Pump. And the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced Formula Dispenser Machine!
    I just wanted to say, in regards to the Freda Mom Kit, it’s not a bad idea to have that but I just wasted to say, our hospital supplied us with all of those things and plenty of them, as many as I needed and some to take home. But I’m sure every hospital is different, and it’s certainly not a bad idea to have them as back up. Our hospital even supplied the large stretchy disposable underwear. However after having my first son in the hospital with a midwife, I chose to have my next two sons at home with a midwife. So in the case of home birth you DEFINITELY want this kit or something similar. We did home births/water births for our 2nd and 3rd sons. I’m a big believer in the mother choosing where she feels comfortable to give birth, and that it should be HER choice because she is the one going through the big physical and emotional feat of bringing her child into this world.
    Thank you again for taking the time to compile a thorough and well put together list!!
    Best wishes for your pregnancy, birth and beyond! I look forward to all of your blogs!
