Baby Registry Guide Detailed

Baby Registry

Guide being key word. When it comes to babies, they are so unique that not every product will work for you and baby. But here is a guide to help start with what essentials to choose, some recommendations that have worked for me or friends and what products are optional.

Baby Registry Introduction

Baby Showers typically occur in the third trimester about 1-3 months before expected due date. Now is a good time to start formulating your registry while you have the energy to look what you want to add, check out where you want to register and make a day of it.
