When it comes to creating a baby registry, it can feel like an overwhelming task. With countless products marketed towards soon-to-be parents, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of options. As I navigated my own registry, I found myself adding items that ultimately just collected dust. So, if you’re feeling confused about what to include, here’s a friendly rundown of baby products that you can skip altogether.
1. Impractical Items
First off, there are plenty of items that might look cute or sound fancy, but they just don’t hold up in real life. For instance, those elaborate baby food makers may seem like a great investment, but you can easily make your own purees with a good blender. Plus, don’t forget about the bulky baby items that take up space and are a hassle to clean.
2. Future Items
Certain products are designed for older babies or toddlers, but they don’t belong on your registry right now. High chairs and toddler beds, for example, are great to have, but they won’t be used until your little one is much older. Save those for later.
3. Unsafe Products
Safety should always come first. Despite warnings from the American Academy of Pediatrics, some baby items remain on the market that are best avoided. Just because something is available for purchase doesn’t mean it’s safe. Always do your research!
