In just a few weeks, Anne was about to reach the end of her 2nd trimester. She couldn't believe it. In about 3 months, God willing, she will have a baby boy in her arms.
Her baby shower that her sisters had planned is only a few weeks away. They've been bugging her about setting up her baby registry. But she is so overwhelmed with the choices, she's been putting it off.
She has no idea where to start, neither does her hubby, Jeff.
Anne and Jeff are not alone. With so much amazing baby gifts to add to your baby registry, where does a new parent start?
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to pick what to put on your baby registry. When creating your baby registry, it's essential to balance practicality with personal preferences.
Tip #1: Focus on Essentials First
Start with the items you know you'll need for your baby's health, safety, and basic care:
- Diapers and wipes: Stock up on various sizes.
- Clothing: Include onesies, sleepers, and outfits in different sizes.
- Feeding items: Bottles, breastfeeding pillows, and burp cloths.
- Health and grooming: Baby thermometer, nail clippers, and baby-safe shampoo.
- Baby gear: Stroller, car seat, and carrier.
Tip #2: Consider Your Lifestyle
Think about how you’ll care for your baby based on your daily routines. For example:
- Travel-friendly gear: If you’re often on the go, consider portable cribs, lightweight strollers, and diaper bags that fit your style.
3. Add Items for Every Stage
Your baby will grow quickly, so add items for newborns and later stages:
- Newborn stage: Swaddles, pacifiers, and bassinets.
- 3–6 months: Play mats, teethers, and tummy time toys.
- 6–12 months: High chairs, baby food makers, and larger clothes.
4. Think About Comfort for Parents
Don’t forget to add a few items for your comfort and convenience:
- Nursing pillows and chairs for feeding.
- Baby monitors for peace of mind.
- Parent gear like diaper bags that match your style (great tie-in to your Bunso Collection products!).
5. Consider Adding a Variety of Price Points
Add both big-ticket items and more affordable options so friends and family can choose what fits their budget. Some ideas:
- High-priced items: Crib, car seat, stroller.
- Moderately priced: Baby monitor, swaddle blankets, nursing gear.
- Lower-priced: Pacifiers, onesies, bath toys.
6. Ask for Practical Gifts
Request gift cards, diapers, or meal deliveries to make life easier after baby arrives.
7. Research Brands and Products
Take time to research product reviews and see what other parents recommend. This can help you decide on high-quality and safe options.
One of the first items that a alot of first time parents add to their baby registry is a BUNSO bag, whether it's a the 2-in-1 BUNSO diaper bag or the Neoprene Diaper Bag, they are quick to add it to their baby list, including first-time mom, Anne.
"I noticed that so many of my new mom friends were carrying the same BUNSO bag, just in different colors! So I got curious and they told me about the BUNSO diaper bags that they say is so spacious, lightweight and doesn't cramp their style. And I think it's just so cool to know that "bunso" means 'youngest child in the family.' So I just had to add it to my babylist registry!"
Comfortable, lightweight, luxurious diaper bags without the designer price tag. We know that new parents have a lot of other expenses to worry about, especially the first year.
See for yourself why so many parents choose BUNSO diaper bags as their go to diaper bags for their baby registries!
