Getting everything ready for when the big day comes is so exciting. You have so many things to worry about, getting your baby registry together is the fun part! While you may be anxious, there are several things not to put on your baby registry.
The first item is trinkets. These are those sentimental items that you see such as a plate that you can place the baby's hand prints inside as a keepsake forever. While it may be the most adorable thing you have ever seen, it is not exactly something you cannot buy for yourself. Instead, choose items that you will need for the baby now to make your life easier when he or she comes. Small keepsake items can be bought anytime through the baby's first year of life. It is also a better idea to search for items you may need help paying for to place on the registry. If you have plenty of friends and family members coming to your baby shower, or that just want to buy some things for the baby, allow them to do it and name all of the items you know you need right off the bat.
Diapers and formula. While these may be no brainers, believe it or not many new moms do this. They put these two items on their registries and coming from experience, if you will be having a baby shower you will leave with diapers. Diapers are also something that you can get on sale and with coupons and you may desire a certain brand once the baby is born as well. Use coupons each week and get your own, and the same theory applies to formula. Formula can be changed every week if your baby has an issue with theirs. The pediatrician also generally gives you a certain type of formula to put them on, as well as modifications if necessary. Some pediatricians even give you free samples of formula so you get started also. If your baby has any allergic reactions to it, they instantly change the formula brand and then you would be stuck with loads of a brand you simply cannot use and most stores will not return it either.
Boy or girl specific items. Even though you may think you know the sex is of the baby, there have been miscalls and millions of women out there still prefer not to know. If you are one of them, then ensure you are putting colors such as yellow, greens, whites, creams and other various unisex shades that can be fitting for a boy or a girl. This is great not only to prevent getting styles you cannot use later on, but you can use them over again should you have another baby or give them to a friend that may need them!
