Registry must haves - Bath time

One of my friends asked me to put a list together of registry items. I decided I would go ahead and make blog posts about it to share with everyone my must haves for baby items! The items I'm going to share are my tried and trued items. I am not sponsored by anyone and these items are ones I have used or currently use.

I know how overwhelming registering can be for your first baby. Trust me I used to go to the baby aisle at Target and get anxiety and just leave feeling stressed and defeated. With my pregnancies and babies I feel as though I have tried everything and if I knew back then what I know now I would have saved a ton of money.

The key to registering is to register at the places with the best completion discounts and to register for a variety of items in different price points. A lot of places will have welcome bags for you when you register so remember to ask for those, they are filled with samples.

Bath time

Body wash – Noodle and Boo is my absolute favorite. The smell is amazing and it doesn't strip your baby's skin of its natural moister. You’ll only need to register for a few bottles. One bottle will last you a long time. It's a little on the pricey side but sometimes they will be on Zulily for a discounted price. I don't think I'm too picky (some people may disagree) with current things but soaps I am. I do not like to use soaps with a lot of chemicals. We have also tried the Honest brand but I tend to always go back to Noodle and Boo

Lotion – Again Noodle and Boo is the way to go. It smells absolutely amazing

Noodle and Boo cleansing wipes -  In the beginning stages of life you don't need to give you baby a bath everyday so for the days where you don't these cleansing wipes are awesome. I have also used them on myself and for my toddler when we get home late and don't have time for a bath.

Wash cloths - I prefer using a loofa just something about seeing the suds however when your baby is young you'll need some wash cloths. Depending on how often you do laundry (we normally only do laundry once or twice a week) you need about 5-7 wash cloths. 

Loofa – Like I mention above we like using a Loofa more than wash cloths. I've even converted Chad over to using a loofa instead of a wash cloth. 

Hooded towels – Babies LOVE to poop right after their bath and right unto their towel so depending on how often you plan on doing laundry, its safe to have about 5-7 towels. 

Angel care bath tub – We have tried 3 different bath tubs and this one is by far my favorite

Nail clippers - When they are newborns I normally will just bite their fingernails because its a lot easier but eventually you will need a pair of nail clippers which any kind will work. 

Brush/Comb - Any soft bristle brush will work for a brush 

Toys - You really don't need any toys until they are about 6 months old and sitting up but these little bath books are too cute and change color with water. Plus every baby needs a rubber duck. You can probably do without too many bathtoys and just compile items from around the house. Grady used to love playing with a wisk in the bathtub now he just fills the tub with his cars and trucks.

Kneeler - You will thank me. I have not used one before and my knees kill me afterwards.

Non-slip bath mat - So no one told me about this and it is a must when your baby turns about 6 months and is sitting up. The bath is very slippery and it might make perfect sense to some people to have one but it did not register with me. 

As you can see in the picture below we don't use any fancy rinser. We actually had one and it got mold in the handle so we just use a good ole cup. Also watch out for mold in your bath toys as well.
