Note: I received a gift card in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.
Babies R Us is having some sweet deals for moms that register between now and November 15, 2013. Expectant parents and caregivers can earn up to $200 back on items purchased off their Babies“R”Us Registry created between now and November 15, 2013 through the Sweetest Registry Deal Ever promotion. Moms can earn 10% back on purchases made off their Babies“R”Us Registry (up to $200). This will come in the form of an e-gift card approximately 10 weeks after their expected arrival date, enabling parents to purchase even more products and essentials for baby.
I know that I never got everything I registered for on any of my registries, so having that bonus money back after baby comes will be a great hand in making sure I’m ready for baby to come! There are a few things that I always try to get for new moms and myself to be ready for the arrival of new baby.
- Koala Baby Receiving Blankets: I love the size of these blankets as they are perfect for swaddling baby.
- Lansinoh Breast Cream: This is great for first time nursing moms. It helps to take away any pain and keep from cracking!
- Nursing Cover Up: There are so many different kinds out there, but if you’re a new mom and uncomfortable with nursing, a cover up is a great tool to keep on hand. Such as this one.
- Baby Carrier: My absolute favorite type of carrier is the Mei Tei type. Babies R Us sells one by Infantino.
- Reusable Cloth Prefold Diapers: These can be used as burp cloths and to clean up messes. We still use ours any time there is a spill in our house because it pulls it right up!
This time I’m pretty sure I want some kind of jogging stroller as well. I don’t want it just for jogging, but to make it easier to push the baby over all terrains. We’ll be taking the baby to camp with us and festivals and some strollers you just can NOT push over grass. You obviously also need a crib of some kind for the baby to sleep in, carseat, bottles if not breastfeeding, and clothes. The above items are just extras that help me out tremendously.
You can register online or in store for your baby registry. While in-store, registrants will also receive additional perks, such as a special welcome package, which includes a Baby Registry Planner with a full checklist of essential items, invitation cards to inform family and friends that they are registered at Babies“R”Us, a $5 off $25 coupon, product samples and more.
In honor of the Babies R Us Sweetest Registry Deal, I’m giving away a $50 gift card to Babies R Us below.

My son is six months old now, but I’m still hoping to get him a Jumparoo before he’s too big for one. (It won’t be a waste even if he can only use it briefly, because my sister is expecting early next year so it can be passed along!)
