[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you PP, that's really helpful. I am a minimalist too. What's the difference / advantage of having a 'wishlist' vs registry? I don't plan on having a shower, but relatives want to see a registry to help buy us stuff, so I've been putting one together to (1) give them a place to go and (2) organize for myself what we need.  -OP[/quote]

I didn’t have a shower and I liked it like that kept things simple. I think the Amazon one is called a wishlist it’s the same thing really as a registry. Amazon had diapers and some organic onesies and washcloths and black ans white books I wanted. My in laws bought some cheaper stuff off that.

On baby list I put some fancier stuff and stroller and car seat. My mom bought the car seat and we got the rest big items.

The reason why there’s spreadsheets and it’s overwhelming is because people try to go all the way to toddlerhood to have enough materials for a shower. So for example a high chair you won’t need for four months and you shouldn’t buy it now so it stays in your closet. We used the stroller seat at the table as the high chair until we bought a high chair.  We bought new clothes only when he outgrew them. We didn’t use bibs and only needed a 4 swaddles set plus what we got from hospital. We didn’t buy or add toys that were not appropriate for 6 months and under. Just books some rattles a mirror thingie. No swing sets or baby contraptions. Had a blanket we put toys on and moved him around the house. Think first six months and your registry gets easy. Then you reassess and decide what you buy. [/quote]
