Registries can spiral quickly. Organizing by category keeps things manageable and makes sure nothing essential slips through the cracks.
Feeding
Bottles, a bottle warmer, bibs, and burp cloths cover the daily basics before you know exactly how your baby will feed.
Sleep
Crib sheets, swaddles or sleep sacks, and a sound machine are worth having ready before the due date.
Clothing
Stock a range of sizes, since newborns grow quickly. A few premium organic cotton basics tend to outlast cheaper alternatives.
Bath and care
A contoured bath support, gentle wash, lotion, and a baby-safe nail kit round out the essentials.
Play
One or two sensory toys and a simple activity mat are enough to start — you can build out the toy collection as your baby's interests develop.
A note on gifting
If you are shopping for someone else's registry, a well-made clothing set or a thoughtful feeding item is almost always appreciated, even if it is not on the list.
