My Baby Registry

Starting a Baby Registry was perhaps one of the most overwhelming tasks for me. There are so many little things a baby needs from basics like diapers to things like swaddles that I had no clue about. There are so many different brands to choose from that the entire process was challenging and mindboggling.

As a new parent-to-be, I can assure you if I didn’t buy the “top-rated item”, I felt guilty for not giving my baby the very best. After speaking to numerous people, I was told babies grow super fast and I was reassured they don’t know any better from item a and item b. I decided to take a more practical approach and spend the money where I needed to and spend less on other items. 

My siblings, friends, and Instagram followers gave me the best advice. I can’t thank you guys enough for answering my polls and sending me personal DMs on what I should and should not spend on. From the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every one of you!

There are quite a few places you can register at, but I decided on Amazon for their excellent service, reliability, easy return policy, great selection, and 15% off up to $2000 worth of baby items 60 days before your due date.

So here we go, here’s my Baby Registry!


Baby Registry

Strollers and Car Seats

Based on Instagram results the top 3 choices were UppaBaby (Cruz, Vista, Mesa), Nuna, and Chicco Keyfit 35 (stroller, car seat). Out of the 3, the Nuna is the most lightweight.

We decided on Chicco Keyfit 35 because of its safety feature (in reality – they’re all safe). With Covid-19 still being an issue, I don’t plan on taking the baby out too much with the rise in cases. If I do visit my family in NJ, the Caddy Frame Stroller is super lightweight and easy to travel with. It’s also perfect for neighborhood and beach strolls. Based on our lifestyle, we felt the Chicco KeyFit 35 Infant Car Seat and Caddy Frame Stroller fit our needs best for 2021.

"Just when you think you know love, someone little "Just when you think you know love, someone little comes along to remind you just how big it really is." - Unknown⁠
⁠
How can I love someone this tiny so much? He tests my patience every day, but also brings me so much joy! ⁠
⁠
For all you moms who said, “I have no time”, I finally get it. Now, I can’t even spare 5 minutes to shower. Yes, Nisha - Welcome to the Club! I can’t tell you how many people sent me this EXACT message 😂.⁠
⁠
Before I became a mom, the idea of changing diapers and spit-up grossed me out. Now, no biggie. I can’t even count on one hand how many times I’ve put my baby to sleep and I get so excited to have some “me time”. To my disappointment, he wakes up 1/2 hour later and I have to start the process all over again… is he burped, is he wet, is he hungry? The days are long!
⁠
Despite the hardships of motherhood, one of the greatest joys has been watching and holding my baby while he sleeps, and knowing I provide comfort to him like no other. I’m sure he will get used to it and I’ll probably regret it later on, but for now, I am just soaking up these precious moments while he’s still little and innocent. ☺️⁠
