Before I was pregnant, I would drive by Babies R Us and stare longingly into the windows dreaming of the day that it would be my turn to create the perfect baby registry to welcome our new bundle of joy. When that day finally came, I grabbed the scanner and was ready to start selecting items I knew were absolutely essential to my parenting success. You know, just the bare necessities, like adorable pink headbands and paisley patterned pacifiers, of course.
Just a few days after baby was born, I began to realize that I was grossly unprepared. I needed a breast pump, diaper rash cream, milk storage bottles and DIAPERS! All of the unglamorous items were mysteriously missing from my beautifully decorated nursery. According to a survey conducted by Pampers, I was not alone. In fact, over half of Moms have regrets about their baby registry and 90% of Moms wish they included more diapers on the list.
Pampers also found that 56% of Moms felt that the baby registry experience was more overwhelming than they expected, and I could not agree more. Due to my own experience, I wanted to help out a first time expecting Mom as she begins thinking about her registry to offer advice and a special surprise gift! Check out the items we found during a recent trip to Babies R Us that, as an experienced Mom, I would recommend as registry essentials.

A car seat is essential. You can’t take the baby home without one! An extra base is also a must if you have more than one vehicle.
I think diapers are the #1 item for a registry. You need tons of them and they are expensive.

A baby swing all of my kids have loved being in the swing. Couldn’t live without it.
