One of the first things that will undoubtedly happen once you realise you're expecting is that you'll reach out to other fellow parents to find out what items they put on their baby registry [1]. Getting first-hand recommendations from people you know and trust is invaluable. But if you're even more curious than that, we tapped Babylist to find out what its most popular products from registries have been. From diapers to swaddles and even bouncers, here are the products that top the charts.
Philips AVENT Natural Bottle
A longtime favourite of the breastfeeding community, the Philips AVENT Natural Bottle [2] ($11) was recently redesigned to mimic nursing better than ever. A wide-neck design gives the bottle a breast-like shape, while the soft nipple feels relatively like mom's nipple. The best part is Philips AVENT's anti-colic system — it is a twin valve that does not leak air into the feeding baby — only into the bottle.
Fridababy NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator
Suck the snot out the safe way with the Fridababy NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator [3] ($20), which comes with 20 additional filters.
WubbaNub Pacifiers
Not only do WubbaNub pacifiers [4] ($14) look cute, but they also act as a weight, which means you'll be popping that paci back in a lot less.
Ubbi Diaper Pail
The Ubbi Diaper Pail [5] ($76) is the unsung hero of the nursery. The pail's steel body and tightly sealed lid keep the smell of dirty diapers at bay.
Comotomo Baby Bottles
A squeezable bottle? Comotomo Baby Bottles [6] ($24) are also designed to mimic the breastfeeding process with their wide-neck design and smooth, skin-like feel, but the bottle's flexible design makes it unique in a sea of hard plastic/glass bottles. Made from 100 percent BPA-free, medical grade silicon, the bottle is actually squeezable, much like a natural breast, so baby can grab on and get comfortable.
Sophie la Girafe Teether
What is a baby without a Sophie la Girafe Teether [7] ($23)?
Babiesco Countertop Drying Rack
Handwashing bottles can be a pain, but make drying them a breeze with this Babiesco Countertop Drying Rack [8] ($16). The cute design can help you avoid having baby products spread all over your kitchen counters.
Aden + Anais Muslin Swaddle Wraps
It seems like every parent loves aden + anais's muslin blankets [9] ($45); just visit any newborn playgroup and you'll see them everywhere.
Zutano Cozie Fleece Baby Bootie
Keeping socks on babies is a constant struggle. The Zutano Cozie Fleece Baby Bootie [10] ($21) has a wraparound fleece strap that fastens for a good snug fit.
Owlet Cam
New parents are increasingly more interested in tools that help them monitor their baby's health. From the people who brought you the Owlet Smart Sock, the Owlet Cam [11] ($149) is a monitor that enables you to see and hear your baby from anywhere, plus it pairs with the Smart Sock.
Dock-a-Tot
As if the Dock-a-Tot wasn't already the trendiest baby product to put on your registry, the brand just keeps on releasing more and more picture-perfect patterns that bring baby Instagram games up times 100. The Winter 2018-19 Collection [12] ($95-$195) features patterns in black marble, charcoal buffalo check (pictured), and natural buffalo check.
Baby Banana Brush Infant Teething Toothbrush
The Baby Banana Brush Infant Teething Toothbrush [13] ($9) is made from 100 percent food-grade silicone, making it a great choice for your teething baby. The "peel" handles make the item easy for little hands to hold, and the bendable material reduces chance of injury. When you're able to pry this cute banana away from your baby, you can simply throw it in the dishwasher or freezer. It's also a great way to teach children about oral hygiene from an early age.
Dr. Brown's Original Bottle Newborn Feeding Set
You won't know until you meet your precious little one which type of nipple they'll prefer to use (assuming you'll be supplementing or using formula), but Dr. Brown's Original Bottle Newborn Feeding Set [14] ($21, originally $25) is a good place to start.
Skip Hop Moby Waterfall Rinser
Skip Hop's popular Moby whale is back for more bath time fun! Rather than using a bowl to clean baby, this Skiphop waterfall rinser [15] ($10) features interior fins that create a steady flow of water, while the rubber lip fits on baby's forehead and prevents soap from falling into his eyes.
Britax Back Seat Mirror
If you fear driving alone with your little one in the backseat, Britax's Back Seat Mirror [16] ($20) alleviates much of the stress of the unknown when your new baby is behind you.
4moms MamaRoo 4
The 4moms MamaRoo 4 [17] ($220) is nothing new, but this version has a few additional features, including 25 different motion patterns and speed combinations (which you can control via Bluetooth on your phone so you don't even have to get up!). The seat now fully reclines, you can hook up music or sounds through a phone or iPod with an AUX cable, and the plush fabric is easy to remove and machine washable.
Skip Hop Baby Pronto Portable Changing Station
This Skip Hop Baby Pronto Portable Changing Station [18] ($20) is great to keep in the car, or even in your diaper bag as the main changing station.
Pampers Swaddlers Disposable Diapers Newborn Size 1
Pampers Swaddlers Disposable Diapers Newborn Size 1 [19] ($60) is a leading brand that parents routinely register for.
Summer Infant Contoured Changing Pad
You can place the Summer Infant Contoured Changing Pad [20] ($15) ontop of dressers to instantly turn the top into a changing station for baby.
Copper Pearl Multi Use Car Seat
The Copper Pearl Multi Use Car Seat [21] ($25) has so many purposes. Use it to hide baby from the sun (or germs!), and you can even use it as a coverup while breastfeeding.
Boppy Newborn Lounger
Parents love the Boppy Newborn Lounger [22] ($30) because it's a safe place to put baby during the early months.
Crane USA Humidifiers - Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier
Crane USA Humidifiers Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier [23] ($36)
