Preparing for your baby's arrival can feel overwhelming, but a baby registry helps cut through the noise. Think of it as a personalised wishlist of baby essentials, making it easy for friends and family to gift items you truly need.
What Is a Baby Registry and Why Do You Need One?
A baby registry is a curated wishlist of baby items that you’d like to receive from friends, family, or colleagues in preparation for your baby’s arrival. Instead of getting duplicate gifts or things you don’t need, a registry ensures that your support network contributes to practical, meaningful items.
In 2025, baby registries are smarter, more sustainable, and easier to manage than ever before. Many platforms even offer completion discounts, group gifting options, and product advice tailored for first-time parents.
Where to Create Your Baby Registry?
Several websites offer convenient platforms for creating and managing baby registries. Here are some popular options available to expecting mums in the UK:
Platform | Best For | Perks |

Quality & in-store help | Free gift wrapping, in-store consultations, extended return policy | |
Stylish essentials | Baby events, furniture bundles, advice service | |
Combine lists | Add from multiple stores, universal registry | |

From feeding and sleeping gear to health and safety necessities, this guide will help you create a well-rounded baby registry tailored to your needs.
Gifts for Parents (Not Just Baby!)
Because babies aren’t the only ones who need care. The early days of parenthood are exhausting - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Between sleepless nights and round-the-clock feedings, finding time to cook healthy meals can feel impossible. That’s why adding a meal bundle or nutrition-focused gift to your registry is a game-changer. It supports recovery, promotes energy, and most importantly, gives new parents one less thing to worry about.

Prenatal Essentials for Mums
Being prepared for baby starts with taking care of you. Supporting your own health during pregnancy helps lay the best foundation for your baby's development.
Navigating the early weeks of pregnancy can feel like a rollercoaster - emotionally, physically, and nutritionally. 1st Trimester – Baby on Board is your prenatal powerhouse: a once-daily supplement formulated specifically for the first trimester, when your baby’s brain, spine, and organs are rapidly forming.
It’s packed with 18 essential nutrients - including the full daily dose of folate, vitamin D3, and iron - all carefully balanced to support early fetal development while helping you feel your best.
Key Benefits
Relieves Morning Sickness: Each tablet includes 100mg of ginger root, a natural remedy clinically shown to ease nausea and improve digestion.
Combats First Trimester Fatigue: With fatigue-fighting champions like Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, and Riboflavin.
Supports Baby’s Development: Provides vital nutrients like Folate (500µg) and Vitamin D3 to help form your baby’s brain, bones, and spine.
Strengthens Immunity & Bone Health: A robust dose of Vitamin C, Iron (15mg), Zinc, and Vitamin K2.
Gentle & Effective: Easy-to-digest formula without unnecessary fillers. All ingredients are lab-tested for purity, made in the UK under strict quality standards.
Taking prenatal vitamins during pregnancy is essential for supporting both the mother's health and the baby's development. These specially formulated supplements provide critical nutrients like folic acid, iron, calcium, and DHA, which may be difficult to get in sufficient amounts from diet alone. Folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects, iron supports increased blood volume and prevents anemia, and other key vitamins and minerals aid in the baby’s brain, bone, and overall growth. Consistently taking prenatal vitamins throughout pregnancy helps lay a strong foundation for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
Baby Registry Essentials: Must-Have Baby Gear
These are the big-ticket items that form the backbone of your baby care routine.
Car Seat: A rear-facing infant car seat is essential from day one. Convertible car seats grow with your child.
Stroller: Choose based on your lifestyle—full-size for daily walks, lightweight for errands, or a travel system that works with your car seat.
Crib or Bassinet: Make sure it meets safety standards. Consider a convertible crib that grows with your child.
Changing Table or Pad: A standalone table or a changing pad on a dresser works well.
Highchair: Look for adjustable and easy-to-clean options.
Baby Monitor: Options range from simple audio to advanced video monitors with Wi-Fi connectivity.
Baby Carrier: Wraps, slings, or structured carriers keep baby close and your hands free.
Baby Sleep Essentials
Sleep is gold in the early days. Creating a safe and comfortable sleep environment is essential for your baby's health and wellbeing. A sturdy cot or bassinet provides a secure place for your baby to rest, while fitted sheets ensure a snug fit. Swaddles and sleep sacks promote safe sleeping habits, while a white noise machine creates a soothing atmosphere conducive to sleep.
Swaddles/Sleep Sacks: A must for newborns - helps them feel snug and secure.
Crib Sheets: Have 2–3 fitted sheets on hand for middle-of-the-night messes.
Mattress Protector: Waterproof, breathable options extend mattress life.
White Noise Machine: Soothes baby and masks household noises.
