[quote=Anonymous]If it's 225 items with lots of things registered in each of the 3 sites, that's not so bad.  If it's 225 unique items, then you may want to consider cutting down.

One place to start cutting down is with the stuff you won't need for 6+ months.  i.e. anything having to do with feeding the kid real food -- spoons, bowls, storage containers, bibs, sippy cups, etc.

The other thing I see people get at showers that they don't need for a really long time are babyproofing supplies.  You don't need to babyproof your house until your kid is mobile -- like really mobile.  That won't happen until they are over 6 months and possibly not till they are 9 months.  Depending on how adventurous your kid is, you may not need to do any serious baby proofing.

It'll also be a little while before you'd need toys like an exersaucer, doorway jumper, and other items that require the baby to be able to sit up.  Most of this stuff is really easy to come by second hand (you can't use these things for more than 6-9 months) and they will take up a ton of space in your house waiting for your kid to grow into them.  A lot of them are also the sort of things that your kid will either love or hate -- so it's better to borrow one first to figure out if your kid will like it.

Also, I wouldn't bother registering for clothes.  People want to pick out stuff they think is cute and will ignore what you have registered for (especially if you are having a girl).  [/quote]
