I am trying to register for my baby. I am so confused. There are 5 different brands of infant/newborn bottles, 15 different brands of baby monitors, 3 brands of infant care products. How do I know which is the best? I am very overwhelmed. Please help.
None of my friends have babies. My sister-in-law has two children but they are 7 and 4. This would be foreign to her.
Ask friends, family, coworkers, etc. what products they like and dislike and why and that should help you make a choice. Be sure to save receipts and shop at "return" friendly stores just in case you find you don’t like a product. Target tends to have nicer things but I find they can be a bit of a pain when returning things sometimes. Wal-Mart has a much more lenient return policy.
If you want to e-mail me questions about products you’re unsure of I’d be happy to share my experiences with you. I have a 2-year old and a 6-month old and I think I’ve tried it all! I went through the confusion with my first and got a lot of things I didn’t like or didn’t use/need.
Good Luck!

Its overwhelming. Go with a mom friend.

For bottles, make sure they are BPA free like playtex nurses with drop ins, or born free, or sassy mam ultivents…I am so pleased with my anglecare movement sensor. Instead of a traditional monitor, it also lets you know if the baby has stopped breathing..it beeps when there is no movement. This helped me sleep in those times when you are up every second because of your fear of SIDS.
Infant care products like soap and lotion…make sure they are certified organic like avalon organic, or go with california baby..they will be pthalate free and paraben free which can harm babies.
Any other products, just google them, and read reviews at retailers online!
