what baby gifts should she register for?

sleepy_grrl asked:


My friend is having her first baby, and she doesn’t know what to register for for her baby shower. What sort of things should she buy/register for that will help her the most when she has her newborn? (practical stuff only… in other words, not engraved rattles or anything like that) Advice from mothers would be very appreciated! Thanks
Just to clarify… I’m not looking for WHERE to register, but WHAT THINGS to register for. Thanks.

    1st you should start with things you need and then with things you want. Pick a wide price rage starting with very low priced items to high priced items so that everyone’s budget can be met.

    Your friend should register at a place like Babies R Us, where they have a wide variety of useful, practical baby items. She should definitely put things like crib sheets, blankets, bottles, swing, bouncy seat, car seat, stroller, crib bedding set, mobile, baby book, newborn clothing (like kimonos and onesies).
