2020 Baby Registry Must-Haves from a Not-So-New Mom + FREE Printable
Hi friends & welcome back to the blog! Today I am going to share with you the baby registry must-haves that I actually used when I first had Harrison.
Harrison is my 2.5 year old son, for those of you who are new around here. He’s the light of my life (duh).
I’ve been asked by several friends to round up what would be my picks of baby products you must have as a first time mom – so I’ve decided to do it!
I have a really pretty FREE printable baby registry list of all your baby registry must-haves that are included in this post just for you! Print yours now so you can check off as you go through adding to your registry/getting everything baby needs before the big day!

Just a note before I get into the baby registry must-haves list – I am going to do this in a list style (for those of you who want to print this and save, keep scrolling for a FREE pretty printable copy) but just know that every product I link is the actual product I used OR would highly recommend!
Also, I should say – I know there are plenty of other things you could add to this baby registry must-haves list, but I wanted to simply include exactly what you need for baby and mommy for the first couple months.

Such a helpful list for an otherwise very overwhelming time!
That’s what I was hoping for! Thanks Kate! 🙂
Helpful list for any new mom! Love the pizza toy. I’d totally get that one haha!
Haha the pizza toy is so adorable! 🙂
This is really great information. Thankfully I am well beyond needing to do this. I remember packing so carefully and then circumstances were such I couldn’t even get it.
Thank you Cindy! 🙂
I had never thought about including things Mom will need in my baby gift-giving considerations. Thank you for the idea…will definitely include something just for Mom in my future new baby gifts.
Yes I think that’s important! Thanks Sabrina! 🙂
I love that there is a free printable! It is hard to keep track of what you have and have not bought. I ended up with doubles. I wish I had thought to print out a checklist.
Thanks Meg! I appreciate it! 🙂
Great list! I switched from a medela to a spectra for my 4th. Def worth it!
Ohhh I’ll have to look into spectra! 🙂
I miss buying baby stuff.
I will keep these things in mind for friends and family members who are having showers.
I do too Melinda! It was so much fun to write this post! 🙂
This is a great list! Always so important to have things that are actually of use!
Thank you Mia! 🙂
I love your title for this. Isn’t it SO true that after we have the babies, we totally know what we REALLY need to have on our registry? I’m that mom now at baby showers that shows up with all the practical stuff most people scroll through on the registry, but it actually gets used so I’m good with it. 😉 Great post!
Haha, YES! I think it’s important to ask veteran moms! 🙂
Wow!! Loved this post . Such great contrnt girl!!! Keep them coming !
Thank you Sadia! Means so much to me! 🙂
This is amazing! Very helpful and spot on for everything a mama needs to prepare for baby!
Thanks Kay! I really appreciate you! So glad you found this helpful for new mamas 🙂
what a great list; I love that you divided it into categories – so much easier to organize this way! It’s amazing how many things people try to sell you, but actually aren’t essential for your baby at all.
Thank you Rebecca – and yes, people try to sell you everything when you’re pregnant – you really don’t need much, though! 🙂
What a comprehensive list! You need so many things for such a tiny little person, but it sure does make life easier. Thanks for all the helpful info.
You really do! You’re welcome, Amanda 🙂
