I found it very helpful to have a checklist to cross reference while adding gifts to my baby registry. Depending on your own situation, the checklist may vary. Since I am a first time mom I needed a complete list of items to have for the baby's arrival. In my opinion, here is a full list of what you should (actually) add onto your baby registry. Once my baby is born, I will come back to this list and update it if needed. I will also create a separate blog for items that I would suggest adding!

However, I hope this helps any of you who are creating a registry! Thank you for reading!
