A registry hand guide
You’re having a baby! How incredibly exciting! We’re sure that you’ve started Googling and that you’re probably already feeling a little overwhelmed by all of the advice that you can find out there. You’ll see hundreds of lists telling you that you need a myriad of different gadgets and gizmos, most of which you’ll barely ever use. Babalust was born as a result of two Mom’s who learnt this the hard way and we want you to know that we’re here to make sure that you don’t need to.
We’ve created a baby registry guide that will walk you through each of the categories that make up your baby registry and share valuable things to consider, so that you can create a list that is perfectly suited to you and your baby. We’ve made sure that it includes all of the baby must-haves you’ll actually use — and none of the extras you’ll never need. Look out for our golden nuggets from one mama to another, and don’t forget to reach out should you need any support from the Babalust Team.
