When building your baby registry, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff available -- not to mention all of the different options for each of those products. The world of sleep sacks, bottles, pacifiers and bassinets is vast and seemingly endless, all for this tiny creature you haven't met yet.

Evenflo

My lactation consultant recommended these bottles as the most similarly shaped to a human nipple, and best for helping improve baby's latch. They're easy to clean and pack in a cooler. Plus, they're a steal compared to the far more pricey Comotomo bottles I had on my registry. While my baby didn't seem to have a real preference for either, the Evenflo were the ones we stuck with. 

'I had to pay for years of childcare - with a mortgage like millions of others. They are utterly selfish to have put you in this position and suggest if you have a good relationship with your son talk it out with him.' 

It is just that as athletes we are people too - we have personal issues going on and stuff, and especially when you are not a doper, not a cheater, whereabouts and things like that are not necessarily always on the forefront of your mind.'

The Irish sitcom writer has been banned for 'hateful conduct', including using the word ‘groomer' in a years old post which was found by trans rights activists after he got embroiled in an argument with them.

Simple Houseware

This one is for the parents. I naively thought that I'd be able to fit all of my materials for nursing/pumping in a nice little caddy. I was very wrong. A small storage cart like this one will actually hold everything you need, like your pump, extra pump parts, snacks, water bottle, burp clothes and whatever else you'll need (and shout out to postpartum nurse and Instagram influencer Karrie Locher for the idea). And you can roll it from room to room so you aren't trapped on the couch all the time. 

Baby Einstein

What do you actually do with a newborn all day, when they aren't eating or sleeping (which, to be fair, is most of the time)? This Baby Einstein mirror may not be the most aesthetically pleasing, but my baby loved it - giving her a way to look at herself and at some high-contrast patterns made tummy time a lot easier for us in the early days. She also liked looking at the high-contrast animal cards, which would make her smile. 

Magnificent Baby

If you take one piece of advice from this list, make it this: Invest in as many magnetic onesies as your budget allows. These are pricey, but in my experience, totally worth it. No zippers, no snaps - just little magnetic buttons that let you quickly and easily open and close your baby's PJs, perfect for those bleary-eyed middle-of-the-night changes. The fabric has a nice soft, almost silky feel, and there are lots of cute patterns to choose from. (My baby's Pop-pop also loves them, as they're easy to operate even with arthritic hands.)
