Postpartum
A registry list is generally filled with products for your newborn and it's easy to forget to include gifts for yourself and your recovery. Consider adding:
Products to support healing such as a reusable perineum strip
Maternity pads for postpartum bleeding
Breast pads, creams and shields for nipple & breast care
- You could also add products to your gift registry for your hospital bag preparations
Baby Clothing
Your baby will outgrow their clothing quickly in the beginning and we recommend choosing comfortable and convenient pieces for the first 6 months for that reason. We suggest adding to your list:
A range of sizes from 0000 (newborn) to 000 (0-3 months) and 00 (3-6 months)
Rompers with zips for easier for nappy changes (these can also be called growsuits or all in ones)
Short sleeve bodysuits for warm days or long sleeve bodysuits for layering in cooler seasons
Accessories: socks, a hat if going outside in the sun and dribble bibs
