Are you expecting a new addition to your family soon? Congratulations! Preparing for a baby is no easy feat, neither is creating your registry. With so many products and options available, it can easily become overwhelming.

If you’re looking for expert guidance to make navigating your baby registry a breeze, look no further! As a seasoned mom of two toddlers with nine years of experience in the baby industry, I’m here to lend a helping hand. Plus, having become a mom for the first time during the pandemic, I’ve perfected the art of using the ‘add-to-cart’ button as my personal form of retail therapy!

Here are my top picks for building your baby registry. You can even CLICK HERE to create and add them all to your registry now… Yes! It’s that easy!

Hatch Sound Machine 

With an easy to use app, 11 different sounds and the ability to program the light (or turn it off completely), the Hatch is the perfect sounds machine from birth right up to childhood. It’s so good that even my 3 year old stays in bed, just waiting for the light to turn green so he can sprint out and start his day!

Vtech Monitor 

This monitor offers the dual function to use the parent unit OR the app. I didn’t know I wanted a parent unit until I didn’t have one! Trust me!

Playard 

Pro tip: By picking a playard with a bassinet function, you can set it up beside your bed and use it as a bassinet for the first few months. Skip out on the expensive bassinet completely!

Bouncer 

Give yourself some hands-free time. Whether you’re cooking up a quick lunch or playing with an older sibling, the Baby Bjorn Bouncer will keep your little one safe and occupied. 

Swaddles

This one is a personal favorite! Skip out on perfecting the baby burrito and grab a few of these instead! 

Baby Wrap 

I know what you’re thinking… This looks mighty complicated. Let me assure you that once you have learned how to use it, you will be grabbing for it daily! It is a must have for keeping baby close AND great for skin to skin in the early days. Here is a helpful video to teach you how to use a wrap.

Diaper Pail 

This is another favourite of mine. The Ubbi diaper pail can be used with any brand of garbage bags so you don’t have to worry about running out of refill bags. 

Manual Breast Pump 

A manual pump is my top recommendation! With a lower price point, it is a great registry item. It isn’t complicated to set up and is and is easy to take with you on the go.

Thermometer 

You’re going to need one… trust me! Go ahead and impulse add this one to your list! 

Mattress protector 

You’ll find all the cute and stylish crib sheets BUT do not skip out on a crib mattress protector. You will surely encounter a mess or two (but I will save you the dirty details) so stock up with 2-3 of these! You will never be more thankful to have multiple than when you have to completely strip your child’s crib in the middle of the night. 

Ready to start your registry? It’s easy! Save time and add this bundle to your registry now.
