I spent months comparing newborn lists to try and have a registry that didn’t have a ton of “stuff” but instead things we would actually need. Luckily, I had the benefit of having friends and family who were able to share their newborn must-haves. Now I feel like it’s only right to do the same for you! 🙂
I have to say babies are funny little creatures and some things that they may hate now in a week or two, they may decide they like. For example, all of the rocking swings my baby hated in the beginning but now he’ll humor me for a few minutes in them. If you have the luxury of borrowing a few of the more expensive items to see if you’re baby is a fan, I definitely would before spending a ton of money. We bought the Snoo after our pediatrician recommended it to help with my sons’ fussiness but he hated it. Talk about an expensive purchase to not like! Luckily we were able to sell it and only lost a few bucks but big lesson learned!
