[quote=Anonymous]Congratulations! We have a 10 week old so we’re in the middle of testing out did we pick the right stuff.  We used Babylist a lot, which has guides and reviews on almost all categories of baby stuff.  For us, our clutch items that I would put on our registry again have been the following:
Ollie swaddle - it’s expensive but the Velcro is really strong, giving a good wrap and the fabric wears well. 
Hatch Sound Machine - we have the version that is rechargeable and comes off of its base. We use it a lot at night to avoid turning on lights and can control it from our phones. The free sound options have really helped sooth our baby. We also got the yogasleep rohm travel machine and it’s been perfect for a small on the go sound machine. 
Boppy nursing pillow
Snuggle me organic (dock a tot is also popular but more expensive)
Uppababy Cruz stroller/Uppababy Mesa v2 car seat. We loved that they click together and the system just works. Uppababy just released a new lighter weight car seat that might be worth considering. Most people get the Vista stroller, which can convert to a double stroller. If this is your last, I’d get the Cruz because it’s slightly smaller and less expensive. Also consider getting the infant insert for the stroller.

Other Things
We have the baby bjorn bouncer and it’s still early but ours hasn’t quite taken to it yet as other have mentioned. Not so much a registry item, but we also have the Snoo bassinet. Some friends say it’s a game changer for getting their baby to sleep and others say it didn’t work for them. Ours has taken some time to take to it but now it’s become super helpful. They have sales, including on their refurbished Snoos, which is what we got. The resale value around here will allow us to sell it and get back most of what we paid. Alternatively you can rent it and see if it works for your little one.

On the baby carrier, we tried Colugo, which is less popular but we really like it. It has great padding and fun colors. It can also be adjusted to accommodate newborns without a separate insert.

Even though it’s overpriced, as someone else mentioned, the lovevery gym is really nice. It’s been great to have.

We don’t have this one but some friends really love the Guava pack and play. They’re traveled with it and love how tightly it packs up. When we get one, it will probably be that one.

If you’re doing formula, a lot of friends swear by baby brezza, which can quickly make and heat bottles. They also sell bottle washers and sterilizers. I am breastfeeding and have used pidgeon bottles (recommended by our lactation consultant) and dr browns narrow bottles. Both have been great. [/quote]
