Say Goodbye to the Baby Registry and Hello to the Postpartum Registry. A baby registry is probably on your to do list and everyone is probably asking for it. But why are we only focusing on baby? I challenge you to make your registry about Postpartum, equally about you and equally about baby. We spend so much time focusing and learning about all the stages of pregnancy. What size fruit is your baby this week? Then we take maybe one class about child birth. Then we do nothing to prepare for the days, weeks and months after the baby arrives and mom is healing. Let’s change the focus and let our friends and family help us prepare to have a well supported postpartum.
In reality a baby doesn’t need that much stuff so feel zero guilt for setting yourself up for success.
Baby List is a great place to create your registry since you can also add services to your list.
