Tips And Guide When Choosing A Baby Registry

  • Know that when expecting a baby—whether you’re pregnant, have a surrogate, or adopt – you deserve a baby registry. 
  • It’s just a myth to arrange a baby shower just to collect and tick your baby registry. They are in fact an occasion to get in touch with your loved ones and celebrate the coming of your baby
  • When you’re choosing baby products to add to your baby registry, make sure to add the basic needs first – Car seats, diapers, strollers, bassinets, etc
  • When selecting, avoid overlooking the small things, these often are the heroes when raising a baby  
  • Do not limit yourself by just registering for the baby. You might need those maternity pants, and take them from us, they will shrink!
  • Make sure to start registering only when you have made up your mind. Or else, you’ll just end up with a whole lot of things that you wouldn’t need any more
  • Try and get inputs from your parents, family, loved ones, friends, etc. They will definitely help you make the right pick. Needless to say, Parenthoodbliss is always here, anytime!

FAQs

1. How many items should I keep on a baby registry?

As per studies and observations, it’s recommended to have an average of 121 items on your registry. Having said that, try not to overdo or get stuck with the number, and register what feels right to you. If it helps any better, you can always go back and add or delete items as you go along in your trimester days/months.
