3 Tips for Starting A Baby Registry

3 Tips For Starting A Baby Registry

I am a member of the buybuy BABY babyhood influencer network, however all opinions expressed in this post are my own. #babyhood #rockyourbabyregistry
2015-08-28 16.23.50

Your laying bed. It’s 3 am. You can’t sleep. Your mind is racing. About your baby. I know this feeling all too well. I experienced it a lot during my pregnancy. What will their personality be like? Will they like this swing or that playard? Will this bottle work best, or this one? A million questions came in my mind and it was overwhelming. I read tons of posts about top registry items and talked with friends, but it was hard to shake the feeling of being unprepared especially when it came to what to put on our baby registry. Everything seemed foreign. Because of this, today I am going to share 3 Tips For Starting A Baby Registry:
 
2015-08-28 16.25.16

1. Register at buybuy BABY

buybuy BABY is my absolute favorite baby store. I was blown away from the second I stepped in the door. Everything is well organized and labeled. Plus, they have different sections that are very well laid out and have the best brands! You can find unique brands with fantastic quality at their stores. Plus, their customer service is on point. When I am in there, not only do their employees ask if they can help you find anything, but they are knowledgeable to inform you about different brands, etc. It is amazing! It will put your mama mind at ease.  Their mission is to ensure that new and expectant parents have everything they need to confidently welcome their baby and navigate the transitions of life as a family.

 

In the journey of parenthood there are fun parts and messy parts, celebrations and challenges, dreamy snuggles and sleepless nights. And they are thrilled to be there for you every step of the way, with helpful guidance and an amazing selection of everything from the best of the best baby gear along with everybody’s favorites – all at everyday low prices.

 

They are doing things right. You can shop online or in store where their expert associates can help you prepare for pregnancy, parenthood, toddler transitions, and everything in between.

 

2. Use their guides and personnel

Like I mentioned above, their employees are amazing. Use their knowledge. At buybuy BABY, their product experts understand your needs, explain the options, and help you make the best choices for you and your family. Also, take advantage of their Registry Consultants. They will take you through every step of the process and help you determine which products best suit your needs. You will also receive a free good bag filled with samples and coupons. With their registry KickStarters, you can see top picks from their experts and explore different recommendations. They also have a registry completion discount and a refer a friend reward.

 

2015-08-28 16.26.44 3. Relax 

The most important thing is to relax. Go with your instinct. You don’t realize it yet, but I promise, it will just come to you once your baby is born and you will be surprised how well your decisions were while you were pregnant. Your baby is a mixture of you two. It’s amazing how you will just know what to do. You will learn things along the way and it is easy to return things (keep your tags on and receipts to make it easy). Try not to stress to much over which bottle brand to use or which blankets to register for. It will all be okay. You will find products you love and products that don’t work for you. It is all a learning process so sit back and enjoy it.

  • #ad #RubbermaidAmbassador Resetting my tween’s bathroom didn’t require a full makeover… just smarter swaps 👏🏻

I found these Rubbermaid bathroom essentials at @Walmart while doing a late-night scroll (because that’s when moms get things DONE 😅), and I love how they instantly made her space more organized and functional.

The Rubbermaid Mesh Pockets Shower Liner has been a game changer for keeping everything organized and the Rubbermaid Instamat™ Tub Mat gives me peace of mind with its non-slip design + easy hang-to-dry feature.

Both are BPA-free, kid-friendly, and designed to stay fresh longer—which means less work for me 💛

Small changes can make a BIG difference.
