Gift registry for baby shower

Which store did you do your baby registry with? I dont really know how it works with baby registry. I tried with babiesrus but it doesnt let me add stuff to the registry that's out of stock. And so much stuff is out of stock... any other tips with baby registry? And what items do you reccomend to include. Also I'm in Canada. So stores that we dont have in canada I cant use.

I did amazon.com and buy buy baby

Target

Target has good stuff and Walmart

Amazon.com

Amazon is great for baby registries

Target and Amazon- you get free welcome gifts with both. Be sure to register for items in all price ranges, limit the clothes you put on there and be sure to select items they can use later (dishes, bibs, utensils, etc). It's so much fun to research different items but can get overwhelming. Just remember the most expensive items aren't necessarily the best. Have fun with it!!!

I did Babylist for mine because you can add from other places like amazon, Target, pottery barn, etc.

I did amazon and buybuybaby...but be prepared to possibly receive nothing off off your registry just in case. Most people do not buy off of them.

Target and amazon! I’ve noticed more people buy off of amazon for convenience and of course the free shipping, but I also wanted to have a 2nd registry (Target).

Target is a good place !

I used amazing and Walmart. I wanted to do meijer but they don’t do a registry anymore I guess.

We did two stores, and might add a third. I know there is a website called Babylist which you can make one registry but from multiple different places, might be worth looking into. But we wanted to be able to give options so we did Buy Buy Baby and Target.

Try Walmart they ask they sex of your baby and then they create it for you but it helps to find out what you need and just. Go from there

Target 💕

Target was awesome

I used myregistry.com for our wedding and I'm using it for baby items. You can add any item from any website so everything's in one place. The website makes it soooo much easier than having to decide on one store or having multiple registries.

I used Amazon and it was great!

I used myregistry.com so I could use every store I wanted.

I used Target and Amazon.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
