[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I literally used a friends registry as a guide.  Built one off of that, then supplemented as necessary. [/quote]
This. I had my sister's registry opened in one tab, and pretty much copied everything she had. Amazon has a checklist that breaks down the major categories of baby gear, and then has individual suggestions in there. It makes it slightly less overwhelming, because you can tackle each category over time. First, decide if it's something you actually think you need... there are a lot of extraneous baby items that are a waste of time to some people, but invaluable to others. Second, if you decide you want the item, research which one you like best. This is where your friend's spreadsheet will come in handy, as well as a lot of google searches. Third, figure out if it's something you can buy used. There are a ton of items that you only use for the first few months. I bought a bouncer used, and it's still pristine after two kids. Facebook market place is great for this. The items that you absolutely want new are infant mattress and car seat.[/quote]
