The ultimate minimalist baby registry

This list contains EVERYTHING you and your baby actually need in the first 3 months postpartum. This list was created after thorough research and was personally tested by me. And I am TELLING YOU that I’ve used every single item on this list! This list is split into two sections: one for baby and for mama. So yes, enjoy!

For Baby:

Boba Bliss Wrap Carrier

This carrier is the perfect combination between a structured carrier and a wrap. Super easy to put on and makes your baby feel so cozy from day 1. Perfect if you need both hands or just to put your baby to sleep with ease.

Two babies in swaddle sleep sacks, one pink and one gray, with striped trim.

Stroller

This one is a budget-friendly stroller that grows with your baby.

Swaddle Sleep Sack

This is knockoff of the pricier Love To Dream swaddle. It’s the best because you don’t have to fuss with swaddles, they reduce the startle reflex and they’re also safe to use when your baby learns how to roll.

Bamboo Onesies

This is all your baby will need in those first moths. These bamboo jammies are SO SOFT and perfect for summer or as a layer under a cotton onesie. Those come with zippers which is a MUST.

White dresser with an open drawer containing rolled towels and skincare products, decor with books and plants on top.

Munchkin ClearNose nasal aspirator in packaging and components displayed, with white tip and tube.

Tube of Weleda Calendula Diaper Cream on a soft white blanket with a baby's feet visible.

Set of four pacifiers, two clear, one green, one pink, isolated on white background.

Tomme Tippy Pacifiers

99% of babies take those. They are amazing and made from one piece. Fun fact: Did you know that pacifiers help prevent SIDS?

Two pink baby pajamas: one with stripes, one with heart pattern.

Cotton Onesies

You’ll need some of those as a base layer or as a second layer if it’s a little colder where you are. Make sure you stock up because your baby will be LIVING in those.

Stack of three folded blankets in neutral tones, with the top blanket featuring a rainbow pattern.

Muslin Cloths

Get those instead of bibs. You can use them for everything! A nursing cover, clean up spit up, sun cover on the stroller, a washcloth or as a bib!

Graco car seat with cup holders and harness

Collage advertisement for a vegan leather changing mat featuring a baby. Descriptions highlight large size, wipes clean, non-toxic, and foldable features. Includes images of the mat's texture and colors, and a smiling baby lying on it.

Packaging of WaterWipes baby wipes showing a total of 720 wipes, emphasizing plastic-free composition, 99.9% water content, and a drop of fruit extract. Includes a warning not to flush.

Weleda baby shampoo and body wash, 6.8 fl oz, with calendula extracts, in a yellow bottle on a wooden surface.

Baby sitting in a beige baby bouncer on a carpeted floor in front of a gray sofa, holding a white hanging toy.

Baby rocker

This one is a more affordable option to the Baby Bjorn. You NEED this if you want to go to the bathroom or shower. It’s a safe place to put down your (alert) baby.

Bedside Bassinet

Especially if you’re breastfeeding you’ll need this since you don’t want to stand up every time your baby will want to nurse. Having your baby this close also helps them sleep calmer!

Baby lying in a white and patterned infant lounger, wearing a white outfit and a gray headband.

Baby Nest

Those are great if you just want to chill in bed or on the couch but don’t want to hold your baby. I used this surprisingly a lot. It can also be a nice tummy time surface. BUT it is NOT safe for sleeping.
