“A baby is a blessing, a gift from heaven above, a precious little angel to cherish and to love.”

Are you getting everything organized for your new bundle of joy and don’t know where to start? Preparing a baby registry for your shower is a wonderful opportunity to get all the essentials you need ready for your new arrival. Many expectant families express that setting up their baby registry is one of the most exciting moments during pregnancy. It is when everything begins to come together and become a reality!

Sometimes new parents find this process overwhelming. They know they need to have bottles, diapers, blankets and onesies galore, but often times when thinking beyond that, there can be a mental block. Setting up a baby registry in advance is a great way for friends and family who want to take part, to shower moms and dads to-be with gifts they really need.

So, what is really needed on a baby registry? How She Told Him has created a list of helpful categories and ideas to support you in creating your baby registry.

Ideas and categories include (but are not limited to):

  • Bedtime Babies – baby monitor, bassinet, crib, cradle, crib mattress pads, crib sheets, light and heavy blankets (for colder locations).
  • Baby Bath Supplies – baby washing supplies (soap, tear-free shampoo), bathtub for babies and soft hooded towels.
  • Baby Food Prep – bottles, nursing supplies (for breastfeeding), bibs and burp cloths, formula (if not breastfeeding or wanting to do both), pacifiers and bottle sanitation and other cleaning supplies.
  • Baby Health Kit – thermometer, infant aid kit, nail clipper set, and diapers for days!
  • Baby Travel Gear – car set, carrier, stroller, high-chair, books and activities.
