Are you trying to figure out what to put on your baby registry? Are you looking for the perfect baby gift to give an expecting parent?
Either way, you’re in the right place!
After seeing those two pink lines over two years ago, I remember thinking, “Oh my goodness! This is for real.” In that moment, we became parents. And I quickly learned over the next couple of weeks and months that being a parent is no easy task. Even before our first daughter was born, we had to make numerous decisions with her in mind: select a pediatrician, figure out childcare with our work schedules, agree on a name for her (took us forever!), and of course, research every single baby product before purchasing or adding it to the baby registry.
How can there be so many different crib mattresses and changing table pads and car seats and baby carriers to choose from?! As a first-time parent, I did what many other moms and dads do… I Googled everything. I spent hours upon hours checking reviews, mommy blogs, and asking around to figure out what to buy and register for.
In the last year, I have put all the stuff that we have loved using into a bunch of different articles on this site for our readers.
And now, I’m excited to share with you the Ultimate Baby Registry Guide! From car seats to baby spoons, you’ll get to see all the products and brands that we’ve used and loved in the last couple of years. Everything is organized into sections and all in one place. Be sure to check out each article to learn about the products, and don’t forget to subscribe to get your free checklist sent straight to your inbox!
