If you’re overwhelmed by the thought of starting a baby registry, this video is for you. I’m sharing the 10 baby registry essentials I truly wish somebody told me to put on mine—everything is available on Walmart.com (thank you Walmart for sponsoring). These are the items that made the biggest difference for me as a first-time mom, especially when it comes to sleep, daily routines, and just making life easier. I break it down into the real must-haves: two baby monitor options in different price ranges (my Nanit Pro for everyday peace of mind and my Hello Baby for travel because it doesn’t need Wi‑Fi), plus the Owlet Dream Sock for anyone like me who struggles with anxiety. I also talk about the Hatch Baby for building healthy sleep routines, babywearing for those newborn snuggles (hands-free!), and car seat/stroller picks like the Evenflo travel system and the Graco Easy Turn 360 once baby outgrows the infant seat. I finish with the items that save time and money long-term—like a convertible crib that grows with your child, a Momcozy bottle washer/sterilizer/dryer combo, and a Grow With Me bath tub that works from the very first bath through toddlerhood.
