    Hey Guys! So wanted to be specific on a few items I touched based on. 1) Put what you need on your registry but don't expect to receive everything even high ticket items. When purchasing left over items. you get a discount at buybuybaby on NOT JUST the items on your registry but on EVERYTHING you purchase at that time even if it is not on your registry. 2) EVERY BABY IS DIFFERENT! Which is why I recommend only getting one bottle from a brand and not multiple because you do not know if they will take it. My registry must haves video will be up next week. Hope this helps clarifies things.

  • @AthroughE

    I would personally say to add the high price items because most registries offer a discount on remaining items as you get closer to your due date! Other than that this was definitely helpful.

    • @THEMILLERS

    This is great, but def do add your high ticket items that you DO need. It doesn't matter if nobody gets it for you. You will get a completion discount, which applies to those items and it will save YOU money. Add EVERYTHING that you need and open registries at places that you know you will shop even if it is expensive. I created a Pottery Barn Kids registry and added the crib, the Nuna stroller, blankets, etc. My parents bought us the crib and went with us to use the completion discount on it to save them money. My In-laws gave us money for the stroller and same thing... used the completion discount towards it and saved some money. I never shared that registry with my friends. I just knew that there were high ticket items that I knew I absolutely wanted from there that our parents were willing to buy for us, so I added it and applied the funds they provided to buy it at a discounted price.

      Yup, every baby shower I've gone to people spend $40 on a bunch of outfits, and i'm like 'you could've spent that on a box of diapers and wipes'. My sisters friends were smart, she had a entire wall of diapers/wipes after her baby shower, and it lasted her almost a year.

  • @thisiswhackokay
    @thisiswhackokay 4 роки тому +15

    I actually received all/most of the high price items off my registry (including my crib)! Most of the items actually got shipped directly to my house so that's a great option for people who don't want to lug the item to the baby shower. I think it's great to give people the opportunity to purchase items at different price points because some people will actually want to help by purchasing those necessary higher priced items, especially if its your first baby.

    We were very blessed, I added the Uppa stroller, highchair, car seat, pack n play, gym, hatch sound maxhine, changing table, baby brezza sterilizer ,bouncer, and swing and got it all! We also received pretty much everything on the registry and the stuff I got that wasnt on the registry, was very useful. Didnt have to return anything💕 all my baby bottles and pacifiers I got for free from target, amazon, baby list, walmart, baby box and my cousin who recently had her baby gave me all of the bottles she never used. My pump I got for free through my insurance. We haven’t spent much on. Just her crib lol we have been beyond blessed by family and friends💕 and now my husbands boss is having a baby shower for us in a few days for all the people at work 🥰. We are so thankful

      For all asking..I did a diaper raffle as well as a formula raffle becauseI cant breastfeed. Put it on the invitations with the exact formula and if you want to stick with a certain diaper brand/size I did NB-3 because you can exchange them. Whenever someone brings a raffle item they put their name in the bucket and draw a name towards the end. The prize can be a 15 dollar gift card or something like that.

    I'm currently 37weeks & 3days pregnant w/our second child (boy #2) & we we kept it super simple this time by only buying things we know well need like a few new outfits (mostly onesies), mittens (so he won't scratch his face), a couple bottles, a couple binkies, a new car seat, 3 packs of diapers (1 newborn & 2 size 1), 3 packs of wipes, a new baby bathtub, 2 shampoos, 1 lotion, 1 baby powder, 1 diaper rash cream, a rattle, gifted a new diaper bag & bassinet. I also got a bumbo bc even though he won't use it for the first few months I'll have it when he's ready. That's it. We kept our sons old crib, stroller & pack'n'play bc we knew we wanted more kids. I still use dreft on our 3y/o son's clothes so it's always stocked in our house & we still have baby washcloths that or son never used bc we bought too much stuff the first time around but this time we tried to play it smarter. (Thankfully our 3yr old is out of diapers & training pants just in time for us to start all over buying then again..lol.)
    I figure we're can buy anything else we need when the time comes.

    90% of the gifts I got were not on my registry. Good thing to keep in mind. Make your registry but wait to buy things until after your shower. You never know what you’ll get because so many don’t use your registry. Also I promise you will get tons of clothes, blankets, a diaper bag and probably a swing lol. I just had my shower and I’ve been to so many and everyone gets those.
    I am very happy I waited to buy stuff until after my baby showers. I was able to see what I got and now I’m able to get what I actually need. I also am glad I had mine at 30 weeks instead of the usual 34 weeks. I’m 31 weeks now and have plenty of time to get what I need. It was so hard to wait to buy but again worth it. I received a lot of stuff I needed, if I had bought stuff before my shower I could have ended up with too many things and would have had to deal with either the wasted money or hassle of returning duplicates.

      Never heard such things either, I am a mom of 4 and I put baby lotion on my newborns. I am also a mother baby nurse, sometimes if the newborn has a very dry skin, the pedi prescribes a baby moisturizer. To each their own I guess, but I love baby lotion on my babies since day 1.

    10:20 I've never had a problem with my Baby Brezza formula maker. They have a website and you HAVE to go to to find out what setting to put it on and you HAVE to keep up with the cleaning Maintenance. I have been using it since my son was 1 1/2 months and I'm planning on using it for my next son. I love it so much Especially at night. Works wonders.

      A lot of the times you don’t even get stuff from your registry. I got tons of gifts from my registry but few items that I needed for the first 5 months. So I had to go and buy that all after the fact. I rather get what I need for the first 5 months and then save and make the other purchases around 5 months instead of being hit with that huge bill all at once. That’s why I say focus and spend your money on what you need for the beginning stages and wait for the other purchases to spread out costs. Simplifying your registry will increase your chances of getting the necessary 0-5 month items. Hope this makes sense💕

    Total agree with most of your suggestions... 1 4pk aden and anais Blanket, at least 10 wash cloths, all free and clear detergent, preferably just two bottles sets for eg dr brown has a 6 (4oz & 8oz)piece set for 20$. I tested my baby brezza water and formula measurement often and its exact, However I started using it 5 months. A boppy chair is awesome to start with if you don’t want to get a high chair. My registry has things up to a year and I got almost everything but you’re so right in keeping it small

    Don't put newborn diapers 😂 just buy a pack. They barely go through the newborn diapers.
    Also, swaddles are amazing. The muslin ones. You don't have to use it as a swaddle, you can use it to cover baby in car seat or for tummy time too!
    For high chairs, think about the future...like, a convertible one. I love the Graco one, we use them for our babies at work and we get a lot of use out of it.
    Breast pumps tho: totally depends on you. I always hear good things about the Spectra s2 though. I just got a brand new one from a friend so I'm probably going to get the Medela from my insurance.
    AND GET A BACKPACK DIAPER BAG. trust man.

    I love hearing how people pronounce Anais. It’s my middle name and I’ve always pronounced it like Anay (rhymes with Renae) but after some research I did, it’s actually pronounced with the ‘s’. In French (it’s a French name) if a word starts with a vowel and ends in a consonant then you pronounce the consonant, so it turns in to Ah-nah-eece (rhymes with... like Ana-Greece)

    It’s so funny the differences with moms. I absolutely loveeeee the on the go changing stations. I always keep wipes, a few diapers and an outfit in mine with bags that smell so fresh. It has been a life saver for us. I can’t count how many times I’ve used it. I just clip it on the handles of my diaper bag that I had specially made for us. Many times in the car on trips, long or short. With my two older kids hello hello wasn’t around. I used pampers baby dry that’s what worked for them and natural wipes. Then pampers and huggies when they were older but mostly pampers.&I personally preferred huggies natural care wipes over the pampers wipes. With my youngest he was just as sensitive as my other kids but 10x worse &hello bello has been a god send! The only diapers that worked for him. We use all their products. Even my older kids do. Now that he’s moving around crawling/starting to walk; we use the huggies movers and the hello bello. Also with my youngest he used all the things my other two didn’t like. Ie: binkies, the wubbanub to be exact. We bought those and the mam to try. He loved to be swaddled for the first month atleast . It’s funny how different kids are. I think a lot of moms go over board and get a swing, a bouncy a this a that. To be honest I think they should wait and get maybe just one item like that or if they have any family members or friends that have babies. Try something they have see if they like it.. some babies don’t like swings or mamaroos etc. I think you did well with the tips you gave :)

    You still get a discount of 15-20% from Amazon and a 15% discount from Target for anything you do put on the registry that doesn't get bought, so I still think it's worth it to add the expensive stuff. Even if you have to buy it yourself, it saves you money to put it on there.

As long as they carry that brand. I’m not sure what other stores do this, but definitely Target!!

Also to put down for changing in nasty public places if you forget your changing mat
