So far I have only made one purchase for this little one. I know, pretty crazy considering I only have about three more months to make sure I have everything ready to go! I did a lot of research when it came to my baby registry and putting together a list of the things that I would need. During that research I learned about a "miracle" bassinet of sorts, the
Fisher-Price Moonlight Meadow Deluxe Newborn Rock 'n Play Sleeper. I kept seeing such amazing reviews on it over and over again and finally after seeing a few trusted sources of people's opinions that I value talk about it, I knew I had to have it. Plus it was on sale for almost 50% off! I actually bought it before I even knew what gender we were having. I got a pale turquoise blue color so that it would work with all genders for any future babies, boy or girl.
Apparently this rocker is magic, and makes the fussiest baby sleep! I don't know if I will have that problem but I am looking to do everything in my power to make sure I don't have that problem to begin with, that's for sure! There must be some truth to it since I have seen it recommended everywhere and the reviews give it 5/5 stars. A lot of the reviews talk about the vibrating "rock'n" feature. Basically you put a d-battery into it and when you turn it on it gently vibrates the bed. As most people know when you hold a baby and pat or rub them they tend to stay asleep. But as soon as you put them down and walk away, like magic, the baby knows you left and will start crying for you to return. The vibration helps to simulate the feeling that you are still there. Reviews say that while it doesn't work 100% of the time, more often than not it is great. There was also a lot of mentions about how the shape and design makes the baby feel like it is being held or swaddled.
I remember my parents were always really good about taping some batteries to our gifts that required them so we could open it right then and there and use it. We often forget about those little details, especially when planning for a baby! With so many battery powered gadgets out there for our little ones, I made sure to add some
Duracell batteries to my registry so that I have one less thing to think about once this little girl arrives. I could just see us getting home and putting her in it and being like...
oh duh, do we have any batteries?! Duracell also provides longer lasting power for those devices that help soothe or get your little one to sleep, which you will be super thankful for when you aren't having to change them because it stopped working mid-nap! (
*Duracell lasts longer in 99% of devices vs. the next leading competitive brand.) So stock up for all your devices and gadgets so you are always prepared!
Below I have put together a list of some of my must have picks from what I have gathered around the internet for baby registries! I have registered at Target and Amazon. I will say, registering at Amazon has been amazing! You have access to so many different brands and products, so you can pretty much get everything you want on one registry. Amazon has always had great customer service, free returns for 90 days, and so many people already have amazon accounts so it makes it super simple for them to use. They also have a generous completion program (15% off everything on your registry after your baby is born if you’re a member of
amazon moms), and if that wasn't enough they have an amazing thank you note organizer that automatically saves the mailing addresses of anyone who sends you a gift so you can easily and quickly send them a thank you note.
Amazing!
