Women of DXP that have a child

Or children.

What are things you wished you'd registered for / didn't realize you needed until after giving birth for the first time?

One of my bosses at work is due in January. I don't have much experience with baby registries and stuff. I was just gonna get her a bunch of diapers, but I'm wondering if I should get something more thoughtful instead? Thoughtful yet useful though.

I found this:

https://www.amazon.com/Haakaa-Silicone-Breastfeeding-Manual-Phthalate/dp/B01F8W7CF0

It's a manual breast pump for the non-nursing breast (because it leaks, apparently??). But i welcome other suggestions.

This is why I LOVE baby registry! You don’t have to think...

Maybe she will register by Jan. Nothing wrong in asking...

Sorry love. I answered as though you were the one registering. I didnt read the whole post.

If you buy diapers buy size 2 or 3.... everyone buys newborn and 1. You never end up using all of that size because they grow quick and exchanging is time consuming.

Get something for the kid and something for the mom. Like lavender scented coco butter for the stretch marks.

i breast fed so the manual breast pump device would be PERFECT gift.

also diapers, always good, and baby clothes. everything baby related, is perfect.

i dont think you can go wrong.

coupons for babysitting; bubble bath basket for mamma; quality frozen meals; a scrapbook for Mom to fill about baby ...

I have no idea what the correct word in english is, but those fabric napkins/looks like small thin towels are really important! You can‘t have enough of these especially when the baby pukes a lot 🤷🏻‍♀️

Diapers, in all sizes.

I only used about 1/10th of the clothes I received. And the clothes I did use, were onsies, and things that were easy.

Get her a Boppy, they are so useful!

It’s been 11 years since I’ve had a baby, so I’m trying to remember lol

I’d say a wrap is great. We plan on carrying her a lot
