Registering for your baby is probably one of the most confusing things you will ever do. I remember referring to list after list of what other people needed. We went to Babies' R' Us and scanned away to our heart's content, but after Nugget arrived there was still things we didn't have and had no clue we needed. Those first couple of weeks, Amazon prime and me became really good friends. I am going to run down what I needed and why so that maybe you can prepare a bit better.
1. Waterproof Mattress Protector. 13 days after Nugget was born I had a post-partum hemorrhage. Thank god for this protector or I would have needed to buy a whole new mattress. Not to mention babies pee, poop and do all kinds of things that you can't control...and they will do all these things in your bed. Also, your boobs will leak...everywhere...all night...get the mattress protector. (All these items are in the store at the bottom of this post)
2. Blessed Thistle, Fenugreek, Mother's Milk Tea. I never even knew these things existed. They all promote milk making. Fenugreek also makes you smell like maple syrup but that is just a bonus.
3. Post-Partum Binder. Your stomach will be squishy from giving birth. If you want to fit into any of your clothes again I suggest getting one of these.
4. Nursing pads, Soothies, Earth Mama's Nipple Butter, and Thera-Pearls. Everyone will tell you that if breastfeeding hurts you aren't doing it right. I think this statement is misleading. It does hurt because someone is sucking on your nipple...hard! These all relieve my pain but I had to buy all of this after the fact because everyone told me there was going to be no pain.
5. Summer Infant Forehead Strips. I became a crazy temperature checker and although this won't be super accurate, it does give you an estimate and it is quick and easy. This was just for my peace of mind.
6. Colic Calm, Gas Drops, Gripe Water and Saline Drops. My poor nugget had bad gas when we first brought him home and would cry constantly. We used the Colic Calm, gas drops and gripe water to fix that. The saline drops are to go with the Nose Frida to suck those boogies out. We also had some baby Tylenol on hand for after his circumcision.
7. Zo-li Buzz. I thought if I was brave enough to push a baby out, I would for sure be brave enough to cut that little buggers nails...WRONG! This may look like an overpriced nail file but I promise it has saved Nugget's fingers from being mutilated.
8. Sleep Sheep. I hate that we didn't have Mr. Sheep from the second we got home. Nugget wouldn't nap and he hated his swing. The moment this came in the mail I turned it on and he went right to sleep...for 3 hours!

9. The Wub! Wubbanubs run our household. This little invention makes it so Nugget can not spit the paci half way across the room. It also looks way cuter than a plain paci and doubles as a toy.
10. The OBall. When Nugget started to play with toys this was his favorite. He is able to manipulate and grasp on to the ball since there are a ton of holes. Can't you tell he loves it?!
11. Nursing clothes. This was a big one. I had no nursing bras, tops, tanks, no nothing that I could leave the house in to feed the baby. Make your life easy and get nursing gear.
12. Look Look Book. Just go to Amazon and buy this, you wont' regret it
13. Brewer's Yeast and Flaxseed Meal. To make lactation cookies obviously.
14. Sassy's Crib and Floor Mirror. This along with Look Look have transformed tummy time into an enjoyable experience.
15. Wearable Blankets. We all know blankets are a SIDS risk, I just didn't think to purchase any before hand. Add these to your registry so you have them on hand.
16. Drain cover. You will lose your hair and it will come out in hand fulls.
17. Coffee Machine. If you don't drink coffee already, you will most likely need to. I would go for the programmable one so your brew is ready without having to think about it.
