My household is going to see some major changes come next March. We're expecting baby #3 in 2014 and although we're very excited and happy about it we are still a little nervous of the unknown. My youngest will be 5 in January so it's been a long time since we've had a baby in the house. I'm told it will all come back to us and hopefully it will! Our new addition also means we will have some shopping to do. We already have a boy and a girl so clothes aren't really an issue, but things like expired car seats definitely are. I'll probably be creating a registry to help get us some of those things that have been overused and abused by our previous two like bottles, sippy cups and burp cloths.
Now is the perfect time to create a registry at Babies R Us. For the first time ever Babies R Us is offering parents up to a $200 credit for purchases made from their registry. That means if you register for a $40 bouncy seat and a friend or family member purchases it off your registry you'll receive a $4 Babies R Us promotional gift card to spend. You'll receive the gift card about 10 weeks after your expected arrival date, so it will come just in time to pick up any of the necessities you didn't receive as gifts or it can always be used toward the all important diapers, wipes and formula purchases.
If you're expecting be sure to create your new registry between now and November 15th to take advantage of the "Sweetest Registry Deal Ever". It's a simple process to create your registry online or in-store. Due to its unmatched assortment of innovative and exclusive baby products and trusted expert assistance from Registry Consultants or online resources, registering with Babies“R”Us is a smooth, seamless and efficient process. If you register in store you'll receive additional perks such as a Baby Registry Planner with a full checklist of essential items, invitation cards to inform family and friends that they are registered at Babies“R”Us, a $5 off $25 coupon, product samples and more. Head over to Babies R Us to learn more and get started creating your registry.

ReplyDeleteI would say a baby carrier. NOT A BJORN OR INFANTINO! Go for something good like a Moby Wrap (for smaller babies) or an Ergo (for when they are 15 lbs until they are like 4!). They are pretty spendy so if you can get someone to get one for you that is great.

ReplyDeleteSomething that is important to the parents. Whether it be lotion, diapers, bottles, etc. I always ask the parents what they would be sad they did not get. Most of the time they say stuff like non infant things. Such as clothes for larger babies or larger diapers or teething rings.

ReplyDeleteA swing is a MUST HAVE, my son was a hold me baby unless he was in his swing.
ReplyDeleteI guess it depends on whether it is a first or second (or third) child. But I think new swaddling blankets and burp cloths are essentials for any baby no matter how many you have.
ReplyDeleteA must have item for me is the prefold cloth diapers to use as burp cloths and Pampers Swaddler diapers for newborns-- I hear they have great leak protection and are recommended in hospitals! That's what I hear! :) I'm expecting my first baby this fall, thanks for the opportunity!
