Chic & Practical: Top 5 Baby Registry Must-Haves

for the Modern Mom from a Eureka Newborn Photographer

Before we begin, I have to address the most common question I get which is, “when should I book my newborn’s session?” and the answer is; if you’re pregnant and reading this RIGHT NOW! Time passes quicker than we can keep up with sometimes, but typically I recommend to book is while you’re still about 25-30 weeks pregnant (or when you book your maternity session) so that we can reserve your date(s)!

This resource is full of great info to better prepare you for your session including great tips from choosing what to wear, and how to help your spouse and kids to make this the best experience possible! I highly recommend giving it a look!

1) First up, let’s talk about the unsung hero of mom life – the diaper bag. But not just any diaper bag; we’re talking about the Fawn Diaper Bag. This bag is not only gorgeous, with its sleek design and high-quality materials, but it’s also ridiculously practical. With pockets for everything (seriously, everything), it’s a game-changer for staying organized on-the-go. Plus, the chic design doesn’t scream “diaper bag,” making it the ultimate fashion-forward accessory.

2) Convertible Baby Stroller: Adaptable and Stylish – Eureka Newborn Photographer

2) Next on the list is the convertible baby stroller. Because let’s face it, we need a stroller that can keep up with our dynamic lifestyle. Whether it’s navigating city streets, hitting the trails, or strolling through the mall, a convertible stroller is a mom’s best friend. Look for one with a seamless transition from bassinet to toddler seat, offering both comfort and style for your little one.

 

 

3) Maternity & Nursing-Friendly Pajamas: Cozy Comfort That Lasts

3) Now, let’s shift focus to the ultimate self-care item – maternity & nursing-friendly pajamas. Trust me, your future sleep-deprived self will thank you for investing in comfy, stylish PJs. Opt for sets that accommodate your growing bump and make nighttime breastfeeding a breeze. Because who says you can’t rock the pajama look while feeling like an absolute queen?

 

 

4) Comfy Rocking Chair: Where Sweet Lullabies Happen

4) Every mom needs her throne, right? A comfy rocking chair is more than just nursery furniture; it’s a place where magical moments unfold. Whether it’s feeding, soothing, or simply stealing a quiet moment for yourself, a rocking chair becomes the heart of your nursery. Look for one that not only cradles you in comfort but also adds a touch of charm to your baby’s haven.

 

 

5) Keepsake Heirloom Album: Preserving Precious Memories

Eureka Newborn Photographer

5) Last but certainly not least, let’s talk about creating memories that last a lifetime. A keepsake heirloom album is like a time capsule for your baby’s journey. Choose one with a timeless design, providing a beautiful space to store those adorable first smiles, tiny toes, and every precious milestone in between. Trust me, flipping through this album years from now will be a tear-inducing, heartwarming experience.

So there you have it, my top 5 baby registry picks for the modern mom. Chic, practical, and designed to make this journey into motherhood a little more fabulous. Happy registering, and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime! 💖👶✨
