Creating a registry for your baby is a fun and exciting process! But knowing what to add to your registry can be overwhelming when you see just how much is out there for babies! We at Lindsay Ann Artistry are so excited to bring you a list of baby registry must haves for 2024!

First and foremost, diapers! Ask for all sizes too, it's nice to have a little stock pile for when your baby is ready to change sizes. There is nothing worse than running out of diapers or wipes. Diapers can be tricky, between my three girls, each did better in a different brand just based off of their body types, but one brand that worked for all three and were less likely to leak were the Huggies Little Snugglers! Wipes tend to be a little easier to choose, but I personally like these Huggies wipes as well, they seem to stay moist longer and I like that they are fragrance free! There are SO many different brands, but trust me, you'll figure out quickly which ones you like best!
Next, let's chat things you will need for bed time! First off, soft and safe sheets. It's important to ensure the sheets you are buying fit the crib size mattress, our sheets are a perfect fit and are so soft for your sweet babe! We are partnered with myregistry.com so you can even add our sheets to your MyRegistry! A great option for both boys and girls are our best selling crashing ocean waves sheets.
You will also need a crib, this one is so sweet and can go with so many different nursery themes. Then another important things to consider is a travel crib. There are so many different brands of travel cribs out there, but most are relatively inexpensive and fold up to be about the same size!
Next, jammies! I can't recommend these pj's with built in fold over mittens enough. Little babies have sharp fingernails, baby soft skin and new reflexes to learn. Uncovered hands can mean scratching easily. Also, we need to take a second to mention reversible zippers are amazing, and buttons, while cute, can be difficult during middle of the night diaper changes!
Last for bed time is a sleep sack. I would choose 1 or 2 to add to your registry. This one from Love to Dream is fantastic, as are these armless sleep sacks. Another option we liked was the Merlin sleep sack. Each baby is so different, and what works for one may not work for others. But having a few options to start can help you to figure out which may work best for your baby. Why a sleep sack? Newborns have quite the startle reflex and are used to being nice and comfy in your belly! Sleep sacks can help your baby with those startle reflexes to get better sleep, and also can help them feel comforted while you are not holding them.
Rub a dub dub, sweet baby in the tub!
- Bath seat or tub - I loved sink baths and used a sweet, soft flower insert. But when my babies outgrew the sink this Angelcare baby bath support was my favorite!
- Hooded towel, did you know we carry hooded towels? Find them here!
- Soap - I don't really have a suggestion here because every kid is SO different, but have some baby soap on hand. Maybe grab a few different types in small bottles to see what works best for you and your baby!
Now, let's talk the necessities your baby will need!
- Baby care kit - like this one include a nose bulb, nail clippers, thermometer, and more. I got this same kit and have used almost every item in it. And let me tell you, when my first had her first fever, I was so thankful to not be searching my home or sending my husband out for a thermometer!
- A car seat - I love love loved my car seat stroller combo, it was super similar to this one from Graco! A stroller you can click the infant seat right into, and when your baby is out of their infant car seat, they can sit in the stroller for years to come!
- A diaper bag - I joke that leaving the house with a kid is basically packing up half the house to go with you. This one is so cute, and has all the right compartments!
- Bottles - whether formula or breast feeding having bottles on hands is a must! My girls all really enjoyed these Avent bottles, but again, bottles are a tricky one because each baby is so different.
- A baby carrier - There are so many different types of baby carriers; wraps, traditional carriers, carriers for hiking. My favorite - and my husbands, was the Ergobaby Carrier
