Free Amazon Baby Registry Checklist – 15 Most Needed Items

Let’s go over the Amazon Baby Registry Checklist to ensure you have all the things you need on your baby registry!

I remember the headache I had walking thru the aisles with my Target scanner trying to figure out what the hell I was suppose to need for a baby.

Baby Registry Made Easy

Let’s face it. Registering for your baby registry quite possibly can induce a panic attack. We are making it simple by showing you what must-have you need to have on your Amazon baby registry.

We are making this whole registering for baby gifts easy! From how to sign up to a complete Amazon Baby Registry checklist, here is what you need to do to get started.

Sign-Up Amazon Baby Registry

Amazon offers this free baby registry service that allows you an easy way to share what the items are you need for your baby.

How to Make a Baby Registry for Amazon

Every one is busy and as someone who had to do an old school baby registry with a scanner and no one there to hold my hand through the process. Here is how to make a baby registry for Amazon. First, click on the red button and register with the Amazon Baby Registry.

From experience, it is easiest if you do not use the Amazon app to create your baby registry. If at all possible, try using a computer or a tablet.

Why Register for Amazon Baby Registry

Registering for an Amazon Baby Registry is super easy! Not only that, there are benefits to registering.

• Create a list of baby products you need
• Easy baby gift ideas
• Group gifting option
• Diaper fund
• Automatic thank you list created
• Amazon Baby welcome box
• Baby registry completion discount and diaper discount

Let’s dive into some of the benefits before we start on our Amazon Baby Registry checklist.

Easy Baby Gift Giving Ideas

In addition for it being easy for you to register, it is super easy for your friends and family to purchase the baby gifts that YOU want from the list.

Amazon has the option to deliver the baby gifts from the registry directly to you or to the gift purchaser’s address. This is helpful if the baby gift is for a baby shower gift or if someone wants to give directly to the baby gift recipient.their home if needed for a baby shower gift or something as such.

Baby Shower Hosts – you can easily share the link to an Amazon Baby Gift Registry on the Baby Shower invitation or evite.

Take the guess work out of baby gift giving and get the baby products that you actually need for your baby.

Group Gifting

Amazon has a feature called Group Gifting. Let’s face it, some of these baby products on our registries are expensive. The Amazon Baby Registry Group Gifting feature lets multiple people contribute to the gift.

Group Gifting a baby gift is awesome for families, friends or co-workers who want to go in together on a gift. No one has to keep track of who paid what, everyone contributes what they can to the baby gift.

Amazon Diaper Fund

Another feature of the Amazon Baby Registry is the Amazon Diaper Fund. This is an easy way to collect money for diapers through your registry.

We all know that diapers are a huge cost – did you know that families spend close to $936 a year on disposable diapers in the first year of baby’s life? That is around $18 a week and can be a strain. The Amazon diaper fund can help! This annual diaper spend amount was from the American Academy of Pediatrics Diaper Need report in 2013 and and has surely increased since then!

How to Setup up a Diaper Fund on Amazon

The Amazon Diaper Fund is a brilliant way for multiple people to help contribute to the cost of diapering your baby! To setup a diaper fund, you will be prompted to do so when you create your Amazon registry.

Thank You List

Did you know that when using the Amazon Baby Registry, a Thank You List is automatically created for you? Yes! When someone makes a purchase, you can go onto your Amazon Baby Registry account and see a Thank You List & Returns. This will let you manager your Amazon baby gift thank you list, making thank you cards easy to write!

Amazon Baby Registry Checklist

To help reduce some of the pre-baby stress, we are here to hold your hand thru the process and have created an easy to use Amazon Baby Registry checklist guide. This helps you know what you will need to add to your baby registry.

My sister recently gave birth to my sweet nephew so in a way I feel like I am totally back in the baby game, getting to know all of the new products again. But as you will see from my baby registry must haves list – not everything is new! Somethings are tried and true.

First things first, make sure you have your Amazon Baby Registry created and now all you have to do is add in these suggested items to your registry! Let’s get started on your baby registry must haves list!

Here are the 15 areas of baby products to put on your Amazon Baby Registry.

1. Baby Monitor Camera
2. Diapers
3. Baby Wipes
4. Swaddle Blankets
5. Baby Bottles
6. Pacifiers
7. Baby Feeding Utinsels
8. Stroller and Car Seat Baby Travel System
9. High Chair
10. Bouncy Chair
11. Baby Swing
12. Bedding
13. Baby Clothes
14. Bath Stuff
15. Baby Lounger

Our top pic for baby monitor camera on our Amazon Baby Registry Checklist is the Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor and Wall Mount.

This is smart baby monitor allows you to see your baby from anywhere with crystal-clear 1080p video. Being able to see what your baby is doing is perfect for when your newborn starts sleeping in their crib and then when they are older and you are away from home and want to check-in remotely on baby.

With sleep tracking guidance, the Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor app will provide a time-lapse highlight reel of your baby’s night.

You can safely monitor baby’s breathing motion without sensors or radar using the Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor technology, Breathing Band. Breathing Band is included and works with your Nanit Pro monitor to track your baby’s breathing motion in real-time and alert you if they need attention.

Nanit Pro Review from Parents

Here are Nanit Pro reviews from parents.

This monitor has calmed my mom anxiety more than any other monitor. I love the free year of Nanit insights and the fact that it comes with the breathing band is great! I love seeing the temperature and the option to use it even when I’m not on the same Wi-Fi connection.

I love my Nanit. This thing is awesome. I’m glad i dished out the extra money for it. Installation was a breeze. The quality is perfect. The nightlight is exactly what you need for middle of night checkins/feedings. I have my iPad set up by the bed for the monitor and that is awesome! Obviously big clear picture. The white noise sounds great and has timer or can be left on all night. I like the insights Nanit provides. 

Diapers because, people – you have NO idea how many diapers you will need with a baby. With our first child, we received a generous amount of diapers of various sizes at 2 different baby showers, but it wasn’t enough.

As far as diaper name brand, that is up to you. As newborns, we always used Pamper Swaddlers. They are very cushy to the touch. We then used Luvs diapers size 2-5. Then when we were potty training (and we still have a bed wetter, so are still using at night) Huggies Pull-ups. 

Make sure to utilize the Diaper Fund option to help pay for diapers! Keep reading and learn more about the Amazon Diaper Discount you receive for your baby’s first year when use the Amazon Baby Registry.

While my youngest child is 5-years-old, wipes are still a staple in our house. Like diapers, you cannot have enough wipes.

These things will wipe everything from butts to boogers and occasionally will bathe your child. Don’t judge, I can’t tell you how many times my babies were covered in goo and needed a good cleaning but we were no where near a sink. 

As far as name brands go, you will need to find what works best for you and your baby. Our favorite baby wipes were Huggies One and Done refreshing baby wipes. They smell amazing and when you have a child that stinks – you want something that smells amazing. 

I know there is a lot going around about not swaddling your child, but if we hadn’t swaddled our babies, I am not sure how we would have survived. Seriously, swaddling was a God send to help mellow them out and put them in a quiet zone. 

We love the Aden and Anais swaddle blankets to use at home. Another awesome option to add to your Amazon Baby Registry checklist is a swaddle wrap for your baby. Our last kid lived in one of these swaddle wraps and slept like a pro!

Feeding Baby

Continuing on as we go thru the baby registry must haves – let’s talk feeding baby. Oh yes, the baby will need to be fed so might as well add a few items for feeding the baby to the baby registry. 

Every baby will have their preference in regards to bottles – our babies all used Dr. Brown bottles. Our first baby had severe colic, as well as our third. While Dr. Brown bottles helped with colic, they aren’t a 100% solution.

The design of Dr. Brown bottles DO help reduce gas which is great for all babies!

These Philips AventBPA Free Soothie Pacifier are like the pacifiers the hospital use.

No matter which ones we tried with any of the 4 kids, the soothie pacifier won them over.

Baby Feeding Utensils

You can never have enough baby spoons! These are affordable add-ons to your shower registry as well. 

Breast Pump

If you have health insurance, thanks to Obamacare – you should be eligible for a free breast pump. Make sure to check as this will save you hundreds! Here is the breast pump I recommend purchasing.

The Sonata Medela Breast Pump is small, quiet and it’s technology allows you to track your pumping sessions. That’s right – breastfeeding has gone high tech.  

Burp Rags

Burp rags come in all shapes and sizes. While I did make sure to register for a few cute burp rags, because nothing makes spit-up better to clean-up than a cute burp rag – make sure to register for some plain ones too! 

My favorite bibs are the bib bandanas. These are easy to snap around your baby’s neck, can be used for years and helps keep baby clothes from being covered in food and/or drool!

The bib bandanas are also a cute way to accessorize a plain onesie!

Baby Bouncer

Parents, you are going to need a break from holding that baby. But where do you put baby? In a bouncer! I can’t even with how many hours my infants spent in the bouncer.

While of course, that baby will be snuggled in your arms the majority of the time – you will love the bouncer and so will baby. 

Baby Travel System

Next on our must have Amazon Baby Registry checklist is a baby travel system. This is a combination baby stroller and baby carseat that snap together for easy transport.

In addition to a baby travel system, you might want to consider an easy to use stroller that isn’t as bulky as the one that comes with the carseat combo. Here is our pick for snap and go stroller.

The last thing you need as a new mom is to have to haul around a big stroller, lug it out of the car and set it up. The Snap and Go infant stroller is so easy and light-weight.

Sure its not fancy, but guys fancy isn’t what you need to be worried about as a new parent. Don’t stress about shiny and pretty – focus on function. (As someone who loves fashion over function that hurts me to write, but I am getting real here! Somethings are worth function over fashion – SOME!) 

Believe me, if you have used a bulky stroller – you will adore the Snap and Go. It totally lives up to it’s name. 

Baby Clothes

Let’s talk clothes. Here’s the deal – especially if you have a girl – PEOPLE LOVE TO BUY BABY CLOTHES. I too fall into this trap.

I mean, when you find a baby shirt that says #1 AUNT – I have to buy that for my nephew, right? But let’s get real about what you REALLY need in regards to day-to-day for baby. 

So as we are talking about baby registry must haves, make sure you register for things that you like as most people do use the registry when buying gifts!

The baby clothes item that is non-gender and never goes out of style is the white baby kimono shirts. Paired with just a diaper and baby socks, this iconic baby look is timeless.

My fourth child wore my first child’s kimono shirts because they are non-gender specific and last. They are cute and easy to get on and off.

Sleepers / Pajamas

Sleepers are magical, especially as your littles grow! 

Onesies

I have a love/hate relationship with onesies. On one hand, they are ugly unitards. On the other hand, they are handy and convenient. 

Baby Mittens

We had to use baby mittens with our first child as she would constantly scratch at her face! No matter how short we cut her nails, they grew quick. 

Baby Socks

Register for a few pairs of baby socks, but from one parent to another, we rarely wore socks because when we did THEY ALWAYS FELL OFF our babies’ feet!

Baby Carrier

Baby wearing was a must as a work at home mama. The first 2 kids, I sported a Baby Bjorn. With the last 2 kids, I wore a baby wrap carrier.

Whichever works best for you – use it! These are great to find on Facebook sales groups. They are easy to wash and baby wearing is a great way to bond with baby. 

Baby Bathing Essentials

The last thing I am going to recommend for this baby registry must haves list is baby bath stuff. Here are the baby bath items

I suggest registering for an inflatable duck bathtub. All 4 of our kids used the inflatable duck baby bath from the time they were babies sitting up until they became toddlers.

As soon as the baby can sit up your child can use this. We used this until they were around 18 months old and it’s super affordable. 

Baby Magic – I love their bath products, call me old school but that smell just says NEWBORN! 

Thermometer Bath Ducky – This adorable rubber ducky doesn’t just work as a bath toy – it also alerts you when the water is too hot by revealing the word HOT on the bottom of the duck.
