List of Must-have Baby Registry Items

As a parent, you want the best for your baby. However, when making a baby registry, it is best to avoid including just about every baby product in the market, and pick just the essentials. This ensures that your baby has what he/she needs, and you do not end up receiving duplicates and needless gifts.

This list may not be comprehensive, but it does cover all the essentials that the baby would need during the first few years. It allows first-time parents to figure out what they should put on their baby registry to help them prepare for their bundle of joy. You can register at brick and mortar stores or online stores such as amazon, buybuy BABY, or Babies"R"US. Do not fall for the hype or feel pressured to register for everything you might possibly need. Do your research, read customer reviews, and talk to other parents before you walk into a baby store to register.
