Registering for baby bath items can be fun and one of the easier categories to make selections for. Bathing stuff tends to be less expensive than other baby registry categories so it is less stressful picking out the “perfect” baby bath products. If something doesn’t work out you can always try something else at a reasonable price but here are my recommendations after having three babies.

Baby Registry: Clothing

Many people might tell you not to register for clothing.  For one, people are going to give you baby clothing as gifts regardless of what you register for because it is fun to buy cute baby clothes. 

Another reason is that you don’t know how big your baby will be when he/she is born.  Maybe your kid won’t ever even be in newborn clothes.  Also, you don’t know how fast your baby will grow.  If you buy too many clothes in advance the seasons might end up being all wrong.
