MINIMALIST BABY REGISTRY CHECKLIST
1.CRIB
A crib is certainly a nursery essential to help create a safe sleep environment for the baby. When choosing a crib, crib safety comes first, and then the features. If you invest in a convertible crib, it can grow with the baby.
2. CRIB MATTRESS
Your little one will spend up to 17 hours a day sleeping during the early months. Consider investing in a good-quality crib mattress that's safe and durable.
3. MATTRESS PROTECTOR+ CRIB SHEETS
Go with minimal crib bedding and get 2-3 fitted crib sheets like these and a waterproof mattress protector.
4. BASSINET/ CO-SLEEPER
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends you keep the baby in the same sleeping space as you during the night for the first few months at least. So you'll need a bassinet or a co-sleeper.
5. CAR SEAT
A car seat is a baby essential for sure!
6. STROLLER
You'll need a stroller that's compatible with your car seat, lightweight, and easy to maneuver.
7.BABY CARRIER
The baby would love nothing more than being cradled in your arms all day. Since that's an impossible task, we'll take the next best alternative-a baby carrier.
8.FEEDING CHAIR
You won't need a feeding chair for a while, but definitely add one to the baby registry so you are ready when it's time to start solid foods.
9.BABY MONITOR
Whether you are downstairs getting some laundry done while the baby naps or taking a quick nap yourself, a baby monitor lets you keep a constant watch over the baby.
10. SOUND MACHINE
Babies can be startled quite easily by sudden noises, and having a sound machine will help drown out noises and let the baby sleep peacefully.
11. HUMIDIFIER
You are probably wondering if this should be on this minimalist baby checklist. When your little one has a cold, there's so little you can do to help. Pediatricians often recommend you bring in a humidifier to moisten the air and provide relief for the baby's symptoms.
12. THERMOMETER
You'll need a thermometer to take the baby's temperature when necessary.
13.GROOMING KIT
An infant grooming kit like this one includes essentials such as a nasal aspirator and medicine dropper.
14.BABY TUB
You'll be less stressed when bathing the baby with a baby bathtub that has an anti-slip surface and support.
15. DRESSER/ CHANGING TABLE
Choose a changing table or a dresser to set up a diapering station, stocked with all the diapering essentials.
16. CHANGING PAD/ BASKET
Go with a changing pad like this one or a changing basket like this one to keep the baby while changing diapers.
17. DIAPER BAG
A well-stocked diaper bag makes outings with babies more manageable. We like this one, and this one-both have lots of compartments.
18. DIAPER CLUTCH
A diaper clutch like this one holds all the diapering essentials for quick and easy diaper changes on the go.
19. NURSERY CHAIR
Creating a comfortable nursing nook with a good nursery chair makes the long hours spent feeding the baby less exhausting on your body.
20. BREAST PUMP
You might want to hold off on buying a breast pump because your insurance might cover one. Instead, get this affordable little powerhouse with over 50000 reviews on Amazon.
