13+ Baby Shower Gifts I Couldn’t Live Without

When creating a baby shower gifts registry, you want to focus on items that will get you through the newborn stage up until about six months of age. After that, you can probably choose things that you want to try with your baby as they develop and hit those milestones.

13+ Baby Shower Gifts I Couldn’t Live Without

• Bassinet: Every family chooses the sleeping method that is best for their family. For my little family, we decided not to bed share. However, we wanted our baby to be near us so we decided to room share. Having a bassinet was important to have in order to make this sleeping strategy work.

• Baby Swing: As joyous and sweet as it is to hold your little bundle, sometimes you need a break to just breathe a little or even run to the bathroom. Our baby swing was a lifesaver! It had a cozy little bucket seat and rocked side to side.

• Car Seat: This one is extremely important as you need a car seat in order to leave the hospital or birth center with the baby. There are SO many choices in car seats and it can be overwhelming to choose from.

• Stroller: My baby was born during a cold part of the year so outings were not exactly at the top of our list. However, when I needed to go to the store or take the baby to his doctor appointments, having a stroller was nice to use.

• Baby Bathtub: Newborns don’t need to be bathed as often as you would think. When a bath was needed, it was nice to have a little tub to place our baby in. In the baby bathtub, we had more control over the baby’s movements and were able to manipulate his body parts as needed when washing.

Don’t forget to read #10 on the list!

And don’t forget that you as the mama (or maybe your expecting friends) will need items to care for yourself after birth. I have that list covered here as well. —> Baby Shower Gifts for Moms
