Registering for your baby shower can be overwhelming when
you consider all of the gizmos and gadgets on the baby market today. I’ll let
you in on a little secret: you don’t need it all. This isn’t a blog entry
listing the most important baby essentials. Heck, just go on Pinterest or
Amazon and you can get that info within seconds. I’m just here to remind you to
not blindly purchase every big baby item that looks cool.
For example, do you really need a pack n’ play…and a crib…and
a co-sleeper? Do you really need a bouncer…and a baby swing…and a floor mat? The
answer is probably not, and you’ll be grateful for the space you save by not
having oversized baby stuff cluttering every inch of your house.
So how do you know what you’ll really need? Here’s what I
did:
- Ask other moms-They’re the best resource!
- Read product reviews-So many times a baby gadget looks so freakin’ awesome, but when you read the reviews you really learn whether or not parents actually found it useful.
- Wait until Baby is born-Sometimes you need to find out your little one’s personality before learning what he or she will use. When it comes to big baby stuff, all you really need is a car seat and a place for Baby to sleep before the big birth day arrives.
