ALPHA MOM’S
ULTIMATE BABY REGISTRY CHECKLIST
Items are divided into (very) rough categories of BUY NOW and BUY LATER, just
to help you prioritize what you'll need from day one and what you can wait a bit
on.
 
BABY GEAR/CLOTHING
Buy Now
Infant car
seat*
Compatible lightweight stroller frame
Extra
car seat base
(for 2
nd
car)
Fleece bunting
/
rain cover
for infant car seat
Pack-n-Play, bassinet,
co-sleeper
(plus 2-3 sheets and a waterproof pad)
Sling,
baby
wrap, or
infant carrier
(or all three, if you are me and can’t decide)
Diaper bag
(don't kid yourself, though - you'll probably change your mind and
want something different later, so budget accordingly)
Swaddling blankets
(I recommend the
Miracle
Blanket)
Pacifiers
(a couple different kinds, but don't go crazy)
A few high-contrast infant books & toys & rattles
Coming Home outfit, or something special for birth announcement photos
Onesies & footed sleepers
(more thoughts on newborn clothing
here)
Socks & hats
Buy Later
Floor gym
Baby
Gates/
Play yards
Lightweight stroller
or
full-sized
stroller*
Bouncy
Seat**
Baby Swing
**
Jogging
Stroller** (check Craigslist, these are probably the most-purchased and
least-used things out there)
Exersaucer/ stationary entertainment/containment
(Bumbo
or bebePOD, etc)
Crib aquarium
or
musical toy
Convertible car seat
Real "clothes" (a floppy newborn body is not easy to dress in another other than
snaps and shapeless cotton things)
Snowsuit (if you get a good seat bunting you may never need one, and you'll
probably get a never-used hand-me-down one from someone too)
*Obviously, if you live in the city and/or don't have a car, a stroller would definitely
be in the Buy Now category. The stroller will be as good as a car for a good three
or four years, so make sure you love it. The wrong stroller will make you hate life,
