We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us what item they were so glad they added to their baby registries. Here are their smart recommendations:
1. A Boppy nursing pillow you can use to help support your baby during feedings that also has so many other uses, you'll find yourself depending on it every day.
2. A pack of charcoal air fresheners to put in your diaper pail so those lil stinkers don't make your whole house smell.
3. A Pack 'n Play that's not only a play pen, but is also a great portable bed for when you travel — it has a removable bassinet, toy bar, and a compact fold.
4. Some upholstery cleaner to keep your couch free of spit-up and any other liquids that happen to make their way onto it via your adorably messy new little one.
5. A Fisher-Price Rock 'n Play with an incline and vibrations that'll help soothe your baby so you can shower for the first time in weeks.
6. The Haakaa manual breast pump, because breastfeeding can be a challenge and you'll do whatever you can to get as much milk as possible.
7. A Snuza Hero baby movement monitor that attaches to your baby's diaper and alerts you if something is up.
8. The Cozy Cover, which goes over your car seat so you can keep your baby warm and protected from all the elements.
9. An Owlet Smart Sock that some parents swear by to keep a close eye on their babies' vitals — it wraps around your baby's foot to track heart rate and oxygen levels.
10. The NoseFrida, which looks really gross, but actually doesn't ~suck~ at all because it really does get all the gunk out of their little noses.
11. The Ollie Swaddle, designed with moisture-wicking fabric to keep your baby at a comfortable temperature and with an opening at the bottom for easy diaper changes.
12. The Baby Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit, which might make your baby look like a little marshmallow, but will help them transition out of a swaddle and also just sleep more in general.
13. A BabyBum Diaper Cream Brush so you can get a thick application of cream and also save yourself from getting the gunk stuck in your nails. (Gross!)
14. The Hatch Night Light & Sound Machine, which will illuminate the room at night and help establish a bedtime routine.
15. A touchless thermometer you can get an almost instant reading from without holding it for what seems like forever under a tongue or armpit.
17. A pair (or two) of Socks Ons that you put over your baby's socks to keep them from falling off. You'll never lose a sock again. Talk about genius!
18. A toothbrush and teether combo to prevent you from going bananas when you can't get your baby to stop crying while teething.
19. The Skip Hop Pronto Changing Station that'll make diaper changes seamless when you finally venture out of the house.
20. A Boon Squirt Silicone Spoon, which holds and dispenses up to 3 ounces of baby food and makes feeding easier because you can say, "Look, Ma, one hand!"
21. A Milk Snob Cover with multiple functions, including covering the car seat, shopping cart, high chair, and even yourself when you nurse in public.
22. An Amazon Echo Dot that can act as a white-noise machine when your baby is young but also has so many other functions, you'll use it for years.
23. The Moby Wrap baby carrier to keep your little one close to your chest for years.
24. Munchkin Waterproof Changing Pad Liners, because you'll need a little extra protection when things get messy during diaper changes.
25. A Halo bassinet to keep your baby close to you at night without sharing the bed — so you're both safe, and so you don't have to trek all the way to another room every time they cry.
26. A WubbaNub pacifier to make finding the pacifier easier after it falls out, since there's a cute little stuffed animal attached!
27. And a baby swing that'll keep your little one occupied (and quiet) when you put them down for, like, two seconds, because sometimes you just need a break.
