Baby Reigstry help

My friend over at myhusbandswatchingtv asked for some advice for her registry and after thinking about different things to tell her, i realized i never posted about the things that have worked well for us. So below is what i am reccommending to her and any other first time moms. I have included links to the brands that we purchased. I know that walking into that store to register can be extrememly overwhemling and should be exiciting, but with everything that is available these days there is so much to choose from and that i appreciated all the help i got from other moms.

Bedding:
Changing pad, with at least 2 changing pad covers, sometimes I would like to have another one
Bobby pillow, with 2 slipcovers
2 crib sheets, 1 mattress pad cover; I bought a few extra mattress pads but they had not been moved from the drawer.

Room décor
Waste basket
Basket for diapers, or something to organize your diapering needs, we just have the diapers in the basket on the dresser and the baby lotion & but past sit next to it.
Mobile

Safety
Thermometer
Finger nail cutters
Baby Gear
 Bouncer
 Swing
Bumbo
Exercerciser or something similar like a jumper or a walker
Fisherprice Health Care Booster. We didn’t register for this one, but this is the one we got and we absolutely have loved it. Since it is all plastic it is easy to clear, attaches to any chair, and is easily transportable.
Pack-n-Play, with one fitted sheet
Graco car seats:We have the Snugride 35 & the Graco My Ride 65 and we like both of them.
2 bases for the infant car seats
Bundle Me. This was really handy in the winter months, cause it is easier than hassling with a blanket or coat.
Travel Mirror, but haven’t used any of the music features, so really any mirror would have worked. It has been nice to be able to see her in my mirror and she enjoys looking at herself and playing in the mirror.
Stroller: We got the Jeep Universal Cruiser that you can fit the infant seat into and not a travel system, we still need to get one she can use now but we haven’t had a need for it yet.
Activity Mat, Something good for Tummy time and play time!

Clothing
Sleepers, zippered ones are the best & easy for diaper changes.
Hats
A package of cloth diapers for burp clothes
Scratch mittens, 1-2 packs

Feeding:
2 Formula dispensers
Dr. Brown’s bottles:
12 4 oz bottles, 12 8 oz bottles
All the parts are easily cleaned in the dishwasher baskets and the bottles on the top rack. We got 12 of each so that we would be able to have enough bottles for 2 days without having to wash them.
Extra nipples in stages 2+, we barely used the stage 1 nipples.
2 dishwasher baskets
Spoons and these Spoons
Sippy Cups
Bathing
Baby bath tub
Hooded towels & washcloths, 3-4 of them is plenty.
Aveno baby wash & lotion
Bourdreaux’s Butt Paste
Diaper bag: We got the Organizing utility tote from 31 as a gift and it works great for a diaper bag and is the one we take to the sitters.We also got the one i registered for and we love it as well as well. It is my weekender, and has lots of pockets inside & out for storage. This one is really just a preference.
Things we used occasionally:Travel crib: We were given this as a gift, didn’t register for it, but this was extremely handy to take with us from birth to 6 months old instead of packing the pack-n-play along for her to sleep in when we went to other places.
Monitors. We really like the monitors that we got, although we wore the batteries on them out and never replaced them. These were also something we could have gone without, our bedroom is right across the hall from hers and so we could hear her just fine, anywhere in the house.
Humidifier
Infant carrier

Things not to register for:
Pacifiers We got a few, but she liked the ones from the hospital.
Wipe warmer
Bottle drying rack
Bottle warmer
Nose aspirator, sorry don’t know what the official name of it is, but it is the boogie getter, we have like 4 of them and like the one from the hospital the best.
Blankets
Swaddlers We just swaddled with receiving blankets.
Diaper gene
Stroller netting
Things I wish I would have gotten:Ice cube trays with lids for freezing baby food.
