Q. I have no idea where to begin.. or end, for that matter.
A. I went to babies r us and Target. At first I wasn't going to go to babies r us, but it is amazing how much more they have than Target.
First do not register for any cute clothes. That is what most people will buy you so why register and get more outfits than you will know what to do with.
Here are some things for your registry
Bottles -even if you are breastfeeding put dowm some bottles just in case.
Bottle brush cleaner
Bottle drying rack
Swing
play mat
some toys
infant tub
hooded towels
washclothes
baby bath soap- johnsons or aveeno - I love aveeno
diapers- i wouldn't put tons of size 1 or 2 (maybe 2 boxes of each and I never bought newborn diapers)
wipes
stroller and carseat- put down for an extra base if you have more than one car
blankets- i got tons of these but you never know if you will get a lot or not
socks
sleepers, gowns
onesies ( 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months
high chair ( personally I love the Fisher Price Space Saver)
crib
changing table not a necessity but I love mine for changing and storage
thermometer
baby medicine like mylicon drops, fever reducer
That is all I can think of for now. Good luck

Q. I'm almost 29 week pregnant and in all honesty my brain just can not think of everything i need for bubs...Iv got a few things like Pram,cot,bath,bouncer,swing,blankets,sheets,car seat, a few clothes not much just yet any more ideas?Also where can i buy cheap maternity wear as i will not be needing them for long?
A. · nail clippers - the scissor kind is worthless, get small clippers that look like adult ones
Changing Supplies
small changing pads
diapers I get huggies from diapers.com you can buy them in bulk and free over night shipping.
wipes -
changing table or countoured changing pad and a cover that can sit on top of a dresser
Bath Supplies
bath towel - buy two with hoods
· bath toys - plus a plastic cup for rinsing and pouring
· washcloths
· baby soap and shampoo or body wash
· baby lotion
· desitin or corona (Which is for animals and sold at feed supply stores. It has lanolin, which heals diaper rash faster than anything I've ever found. A nurse recommended it to me.)
· soft brush
· infant bath tub or sling - I preferred the sling because the tubs are so hard to store
Feeding Supplies
bottles - 1 or 2 are nice even if you plan on breastfeeding
binkie
· burp clothes - need 4 to 6 or more if your baby has reflux
breast pads- If you dont breastfeed your might leak.
formula- even you do breastfeed if always good to have some on hand just in case.
breast pump - I found hand pumps worked better than electric.
you can wait until your baby is four months old before buying these items ( or stock up now they grow fast)
· plastic bibs - get a small one that fits the baby's neck
baby spoons - plastic coated ones are the best
baby food and cereal also plain mashed potato flakes are easy to fix and cheap.
sippy cup - I like the ones with handles for first time drinkers
Bring home from the hospital
alcohol pads
soft brush for scrubbing babies head while bathing - this prevents cradle-cap
nose aspirator
Sleeping Essentials
crib
receiving blankets - buy 4 to 6 because babies need to be wrapped up when they are first born
sheets - at least two for when your baby poops or throws up on one
Car Basics
infant car seat
sun screen for the car window
Clothing
clothes - don't buy too many you will receive a lot of 0-3 month clothes at your baby shower. If you get too many which you probably will take them back and buy a bigger size. Figure out how old your child will be the next time the season comes around and buy that size.
pajamas - buy lots of these, 4 to 6 pairs, because they are easy to change and keep your newborn warm
onesies
socks - keep those baby feet warm
Toys and Board Books
teething rings
toys with bright colors and music
balls
blocks
rubber toys for chewing
soft toys for cuddling
board books - not paper
Great extras
bounce chair - my son slept in his the first three months because he was elevated and it helped his acid reflux
swing - some children love these and some don't
baby carrier - I used to take mine to the grocery store and carry my baby in it so I had my hands free.
stroller - I used to take my son on walks for exercise.
bassinet - this is nice because you can keep the baby closer for the first month
rocking chair - babies love the rocking motion
