[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-Get a baby nail filer instead of clippers! So much easier for the tiny phase.

-Kimono style bodysuits/tops for the first month or two when their head is especially bobbly. And zipper sleepers. Anyone who prefers snaps is insane to me! Also if you’re particular about clothing style, I think it’s best to register for a few things so people will [b]buy off your registry instead of random stuff they think is cute. OR even if they are inclined to buy random stuff they think is cute, they’ll have a sense of what you like[/b].

-I personally wouldn’t register for big boxes of any diapers, instead buy a few smaller packs of newborn or size 1 diapers and try them out to see which brand works best for your baby. We landed on Honest after trying 5-6 of the competitors and I’m glad we didn’t just register for huge boxes of pampers which weren’t as good of a fit on our baby’s body type and led to more leaks.

- Tubby Todd All Over Ointment. This stuff is magic, some people swear by it for baby acne (though that clears on its own) but we are now in the face scratching phase and I can’t keep up with his nails. Tubby Todd clears up little scratches and blemishes instantly overnight- it’s seriously a miracle!

- Cradle Cap scrubber- Frida makes one but there are cheaper brands as well. Your kid will likely get cradle cap and I had literally never heard of it before baby. You will he happy to have it on hand.

- Temporal thermometer which is so much easier than a rectal. We have both and if I’ve ever been nervous about a fever, so easy to use the temporal one. We keep the rectal one on hand if we need a more accurate reading if he were to actually run a scary fever. Thankfully haven’t needed to use it yet.

- Gas drops/mylecon - we used Little Remedies. But especially in those first 6-8 weeks when their tummies are suuuper immature and they are grunty little gassy sleepers, this did wonders for us before bed.

- Portable sound machine for car and stroller (we have the marpac hush).

- Some sort of baby wrap or carrier suitable for the newborn stage. Some babies want to be held 24/7 and won’t be put down for a nap during this stage. This at least allows you to eat or go for a walk. Lifesaver for my little Velcro baby! We used the Solly wrap in the early days and love our Beco Gemini baby carrier now. [/quote]

In your dreams. People will buy clothes wherever you want. You can register for natural, organic clothes all you want. But Aunt Sally will buy you a 5 pack of "mommy's little shopper" onesies that you cannot return. [/quote]
