FAQs

How do I create a Babylist registry? ›

If you've never used Babylist before, visit the Babylist homepage and click on “Start Your Baby Registry” to begin. (You can also download the Babylist app for iOS or Android and start there.) If you already have a Babylist registry for your first little one, it's simple to create a second by using this link.

First-time-mom baby registries typically include between 100 and 120 items. This should be more than enough to cover everything you will need for your baby. Because with any type of baby registry, the aim is to only get things for your baby that you will actually need and use.

Babylist is a popular baby-only universal registry. It has a huge inventory on its site and lets you add whatever you'd like from other stores too. It's also a solid place to shop for baby gear in general, even if you aren't putting together a registry.

How many items should I add to my baby registry? The average Babylist registrant adds 125 items to their registry, though that's not always the final number they land on by the time they're ready to share it with family and friends.

Babylist is completely free for you and your Gift Givers to use. Gift Givers are only responsible for the cost of their gifts and any shipping fees.

You can create a registry in person at your local department store, big-box store like Target or Walmart, or independent retailer. You can also make a baby registry online through many retailer sites, a popular option being Amazon.com.

You can start early or wait. 20 weeks is a good rule of thumb if you're planning on adding gender-specific things. When should you share a baby registry? If you plan on having a registry, it's good to share your registry a few weeks in advance.

There's no charge to have a registry on MyRegistry.com. There is, however, a small transaction fee associated with a Cash Gift Fund.

That said, it's totally acceptable to put some expensive items on your registry. You can list the things you need, including items like car seats and cribs. Pooling together for group presents is popular, and several friends might pitch in to get a stroller or crib.

How many diapers to ask for on registry? ›

For a newborn, it's advisable to register for around 2-3 large packs of newborn size diapers, as babies can go through 8-10 diapers a day in their first weeks.

Planning For Every Stage

For newborn essentials, include must-haves like diapers, wipes, and onesies. Plan for infant gear such as strollers, car seats, and feeding essentials as your baby grows.

Want any item, from any store, on one registry? Then Babylist is for you. It works like Pinterest and lets you add anything from the web to your baby registry. Like that cute rattle from Etsy, a crib from IKEA, and a cash fund for college (or childcare or diapers or date nights).

Add any item you'd like to your registry that is sold at the Babylist Shop. Click “Edit” to start the group gifting process. Tap the red present icon under “Group Gift." Only products sold by the Babylist Shop are eligible for group gifting. The icon will be hidden or greyed out if this option is not available.

You can see who has visited your registry and signed your Guestbook when you login to your account and hover over Settings located at the top of the page. From there select the Guestbook option from the drop down menu.
