Sample registries

Not sure where to start? Borrow from these curated registries — each built around a different style and budget.

The Minimalist

For parents who want less stuff, more intention

Buy fewer, better things. Skip single-use gadgets; invest in the items you'll use daily for years.

Sleep

Convertible crib, firm mattress, 3 swaddles

Gear

One great convertible car seat, a carrier

Feeding

A few bottles, burp cloths

Diapering

Diapers, wipes, a simple changing pad

The First-Timer

For first-time parents who want the full picture

Cover every base with the essentials new parents actually reach for — nothing trendy, nothing skipped.

Sleep

Bassinet + crib, sleep sacks, monitor

Gear

Infant car seat, stroller, carrier, bouncer

Feeding

Bottles, pump, nursing pillow, bottle warmer

Health

Thermometer, nasal aspirator, first-aid basics

The Twins Setup

For two (or more) at once

Double what you must, share what you can. Logistics-first — feeding and transport are the hard parts.

Sleep

Two bassinets, extra swaddles + sheets

Gear

Double stroller, two car seats

Feeding

Twin nursing pillow, extra bottles, drying rack

Sanity

Two bouncers, a meal-train favor fund

The Budget Build

For doing it well without overspending

Most of what babies need is inexpensive. Prioritize safety items new; everything else can be secondhand.

Buy new (safety)

Car seat, crib mattress

Secondhand-friendly

Clothes, books, bouncer, play mat

Stock up

Diapers, wipes (cash fund for these!)

Skip

Wipe warmers, shoes, fancy bedding sets
