When should I start my baby registry?

Most parents start their registry around 12 to 20 weeks of pregnancy. This gives you plenty of time to research products and gives friends and family time to choose gifts before your baby shower.

What are the absolute must-haves for a newborn?

Essential newborn items include a safe sleep space (crib or bassinet), a car seat, diapers, wipes, basic clothing (onesies), and feeding supplies (bottles or breastfeeding support). Our smart builder categorizes these into 'Must-Haves' so you don't miss anything.

How many diapers does a newborn use per day?

Newborns typically go through 8 to 12 diapers a day. We recommend adding a few 'newborn' size packs and several 'Size 1' packs to your registry to prepare for quick growth.

Is it okay to put used items on a baby registry?

While many items like clothes and toys are great second-hand, you should always buy car seats, cribs, and breast pumps new to ensure they meet current safety standards and haven't been in an accident or recalled.
