This is SO wonderful! I was way overwhelmed by all the things the baby stores say you "need" to register for. This has calmed my anxious heart and now I'm excited to register for my sweet little boy! Thank you!
This is definitely a great list for a new mom. I am passing this on to my cousin who is due with their first in December
thank you for a sensible list! I will be referencing this
This is a pretty good list. As an experienced mom (my current baby is #7) I've learned that most of what people suggest you need isn't really needed. There are very few items on this list that I would disagree with. :)
