Creating a baby registry for your first time (or even your third) can feel both exciting and overwhelming. With so many options available, from bottles and diapers to monitors and car seats, you may be uncertain of what to choose.
The First Years, whose mission is to encourage parents and caregivers to embrace every first moment of their newborn’s life, offers a wide range of high-quality, long-lasting products that’ll make your transition to parenthood a breeze. We’ve selected the top five items that are a must for your baby registry and will give you more bang for your buck.
The First Years Sure Comfort Folding Baby Bather
BUY NOWBathing your bundle of joy for the very first time is a monumental milestone in parenthood. While you may be excited for this moment, it can be tricky (and nerve wracking!) to hold onto your little one’s slippery body. With The First Years Sure Comfort Folding Bather, you can easily and safely wash your baby in the bathtub and in most kitchen sinks with its no-slip seat and raised mesh sides. The inclined bather, which is available only at Target, can also be used from the time of the baby’s birth up until they’re 15 pounds or begin sitting up unassisted.
Sit or Stand™ Potty & Urinal – 2-in-1 Potty Training System
BUY NOWWhen creating a baby registry, moms and dads tend to select items geared towards the first 12 months of their infant’s life. It can be a good idea, however, to add a few products that your baby will need as they continue to age. For instance, the Sit or Stand™ Potty & Urinal is great to have on hand when your toddler begins to show readiness for the potty-training stage. This 2-in-1 system is great for boys and girls alike, functioning as both a potty and a urinal that’s easy to empty and clean, features a built-in splash guard and can be adjusted to three different height options. Your child can successfully practice using the potty in a sit or stand mode, free of accidents.
Gentle Warmth™ Digital Bottle Warmer
BUY NOWA baby’s hungry cry can be stress inducing no matter the time of day. With The First Years Gentle Warmth™ Digital Bottle Warmer on hand, you can keep your infant happy and fed and make your life go a little more smoothly–especially when it’s 2 a.m. and you’re exhausted. Through its digital touchscreen, the bottle warmer quickly heats up breast milk, formula and even baby food jars based on the heating time and temperature you select. You can also sterilize multiple pacifiers at once, so you’ll always have them on hand whenever your baby gets fussy.
Modular Steam Sterilizer
BUY NOWOnce your baby makes their debut, you’ll want to do everything in your power to keep your newborn safe and healthy. By adding The First Years Modular Steam Sterilizer to your parenting arsenal, you’ll be able to kill 99% of common germs with natural steam in minutes. Through multiple tray compartments, you’ll have plenty of space for sanitizing bottle nipples, breast pump accessories, pacifiers, teethers and bottles, to name a few. The modular design also doubles as storage, saving counter space in your kitchen and keeping your baby’s products sterilized for an entire day. Available only at Target!
First Fresh Foods™ 3.5 Cup Blender & Steamer
BUY NOWOne of the most exciting moments of parenthood is introducing your baby to a world of foods and flavors–will they love or hate peas and carrots? Are bananas their favorite over apples? Experiment with different vegetables, fruits, meats and cereals with The First Years First Fresh Foods Blender & Steamer. Touting a powerful motor that allows you to process your own baby food to the perfect consistency, the blender can hold up to three-and-a-half cups of food, so you can quickly and efficiently meal prep for the week.
