Build Your Best Baby Registry with These Practical Baby Essentials

Putting together your baby registry is an exciting opportunity, but it can feel overwhelming. If you’re unsure how to go about creating one, and where to start, here are some suggestions. First things first: Keep it simple. Focus on picking a registry site or two to cover your baby’s needs for the first three to six months.

Family and friends will want to help get you set up and prepared, so point them in the right direction with the following practical baby essentials. 

Diapers for Newborns

You can’t have enough super cute and super soft disposable diapers on hand. Any old diapers won’t cut it. But in addition to stylishly-designed diapers, make sure they are free of harsh chemicals, chlorine, lotions, fragrances, and latex. You also want to make sure they are absorbent and designed to prevent leaks. Remember that diapers come in different sizes, so make sure everyone knows how to get the right ones.


Baby Bibs and Burp Cloths

Do you need burp cloths and baby bibs? The simple answer: Yes. However, another option is a multi use bib that acts as both a burp cloth and a feeding bib. One such item, a “burpy bib” from aden + anais, is a parent’s best friend. It drapes over your baby’s shoulders and snaps in the back to wear during feeding time. And its unique over-the-shoulder design provides excellent coverage and catches even the sneakiest of side dribbles. The same style of bib (burpy bib) can also be used as burp cloths by parents by simply draping it over their shoulder. You’ll probably need at least three burpy bibs so they can be rotated into feeding and burping schedules, so consider registering for a set. There’s also the classic style of snap bib for feeding time or the cute bandana bib for catching drool. Who knew there are so many styles of bibs designed to tackle different tasks?


Baby Blankets

The quest for perfect baby blankets should be easy as long as you choose super soft and breathable cotton muslin fabric. Weight, size, appearance, and versatility are all important factors as well. The uses of swaddle blanket or a swaddle set are endless. Their main function is to swaddle your baby, but swaddles also make great burp cloths in a pinch, as well as nursing covers, stroller covers, or tummy time blankets. You could also use it as a supplemental changing table cover. 


Fitted Crib Sheets

High-quality crib sheets that are as soft as a mother’s touch are important. You want the fabric to be breathable in order to keep your baby cool and prevent overheating. Choose cotton muslin that’s not only breathable but also soft—and stays that way wash after wash. Pick cute, modern colors that complement your nursery style and whimsical prints to delight your baby. 


Sleeping Bag

A sleeping bag can be a good way to keep your baby warm before they’re old enough for blankets to be safe in their crib. As a parent, you’ll stress less if you can slip your newborn into a wearable blanket. Fortunately, the sleeping bags available from aden + anais go over your baby’s pajamas and zips from the bottom, which makes diaper changes a breeze. Babies spend a lot of time sleeping, so it’s very important that they stay comfortable and safe.
