I did what I felt like was best for Lia. Waste of money CLOTHES AND SHOES...grow out of them so quickly. Lia didn't get to wear half of the things she got. I wasn't prepared for how much a baby cost...to this day it still blows my mind on how much children can cost u, but I would not charge anything because Lia is the best blessing god has giving me. U look at life totally different. I would say enjoy EVERY MOMENT because it goes by so fast. Having a baby is a life changing experience. Spoil Ms. Sky rotten lol.

I know we're talking registry right now, but this was the one thing I didn't have...screw everything else at that moment. My mouth was on fire! <br />You should have a first aid kit and the baby 1st safety kit (awesomeness). Diapers in other sizes besides newborn...they don't stay that way. 3 (or more) sets of crib sheets. Waste of time.....um the bottle warmer. I felt like I was operating a chemistry set!

Try different bottle types but don't buy whole sets until you know which ones the baby likes because you'll have a whole set that you can't return staring at you being useless. I like the Avent natural nipple ones because they are closest to what a real nipple is like and that makes it easy to switch between the two. Waterproof bibs will be your best good friend when teething begins. Which, by the way, can start as early as 2 months. Brooke started at almost 4 months and is a drool machine, lol. The Carter's brand at Target sells the best waterproof bibs in the entire world, I promise. I went from changing Brooke's clothes 3 or 4 times a day to changing her bib a few times. As for the hospital bag, go with what Tecia said. I was ridiculous. We had 5 bags between the 2 of us, lol. I was very prepared but most of it wasn't necessary. I'll be back with more later . . .

Uhh... bad idea because her bibs would cover all the cute writing that I paid tons for. A bassinet for the first few weeks is a must have until baby transitions to the crib. I also love the tommy tippy bottle because they tell you if the bottle is hot or cold. They grow so fast that I didn't use any of my 0-3 month clothes for more than a week. Enjoy your time looking and buying baby stuff.

Thos swaddler blankets were a big waste of money for me. Also as beautiful as it is..in my case his bassinet unfortunately was a waste of money, he slept in it maybe one or two nights of his life lol. Also I would suggest maybe to not buy alot of lotions and things until you learn your baby's skin..I have A TON of lotions, washs, etc that we cant use. teciastewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884460181394244616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123600236608693298.post-54984146464950327312013-12-23T14:20:35.066-05:002013-12-23T14:20:35.066-05:00I would suggest putting aty least 3 different bott...I would suggest putting aty least 3 different bottles types an d bibs bibs and more bibs on your registry. Gosh I am not sure on what was figured out to be a waste of money because it all depends upon your little pumkin. Brooke hated the bouncer so I gave it to a Soror who baby loved it. So I belive it has alot to do with the personality as far a big ticket items go. Pack the pacifier you want your baby to use because when I had Brooke they said they did not give themto babies anymore and you may not want to start your baby on a pacifier you can only get from the hospital. I think that it for now!Darlene Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385436056062147149noreply@blogger.com
