Alaina's Baby Registry

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"Common silicone kids dining sets have been known to trap odors, like old food or soap smells, which cause food aversion. There are ceramic versions of this set elsewhere on the internet, open to what you find!"

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"Really just going for glass here - if you find a cheaper alternative not marketed toward breast milk storage, do that!"

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"This tray is specific to ounces; if you have an ice cube tray that does the trick, or can find one at a better price that isn't marketed toward mothering, please do that instead."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"This pump mimics baby, which keeps the physiology of the body producing - some pumps don't trick the body enough into keeping up the routine, thus the 'fancy' device."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"We are using glass bottles with silicone covers; I assume we could heat milk on the stove like old times, but knowing the temp is nice."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"Seems like an insulated lunch bag could sub in cheaper - feel free to shop around."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"5 pack - 10 to 15 are recommended for new moms?! Give me your second hand if you got em!"

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"Trying to go for natural materials, but open to any second hand that worked well for you!"

"Trying to go for natural materials, but open to any second hand bibs that worked well for you!"

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"This is from an open box site; if unavailable, it can be found at Target or Kohl's. We are opting for lap feeding and a table chair to save space - high chair would cramp our small kitchen."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"Happy to take secondhand glass bottles off your hands; I assume latext nipples would need to be purchased new. Though, maybe you know more than I do, and have some in great condition - I'll let you decide."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"If you have secondhand glass bottles, I'd be happy to take them off your hands. I assume latex nipples would need to be purchased new, but maybe you have some in great condition and know better than I do!"

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"For newborn phase and bath time; liner for the tub, basically."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"Open to second hand if your device is wifi-free. Wifi enabled baby monitors can and have been hacked, a privacy concern."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"Ideal every day material for baby - Sheepskin rugs offer babies benefits like natural temperature regulation (warm in winter, cool in summer), moisture-wicking breathability, a naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial surface, and soothing, pressure-relieving support for sleep and play, thanks to wool's unique fibers and lanolin content."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"Scored a Baby Moses Bassinet brand new on FB Marketplace at a great price, but it needs a mattress! Baby says thanks. :)"

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"We have been gifted a second hand crib (Thanks Rory!) so this is for our heirloom daybed, which will be the baby's bed for life after crib phase. This would be for the foot of the bed; another rail is listed for the long side."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"We have been gifted a second hand crib (thanks Rory!) so this is for our heirloom daybed, which will be kiddos bed for life after crib phase. It’s a tall trundle, so falling out of that thing could be rough. Trying to mitigate."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"Fun fact, before disposable diapers were widely available, kids potty trained by 8mo (books + info available on this ✨fascinating✨ topic). Sounds crazy, but apparently babies are born with a reflex to stay dry and don’t enjoy wetting themselves if they can help it. Not saying I’m going to be the potty training master, but hey, worth a try!"

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"Newborn size - 210 mega box. I don’t think they have another quantity option. Majority ‘all-natural’ diaper brands are -get this- PLASTIC LINED 🤢 how dare they. This is the only brand I’ve found that is 100% cotton, no plastic lining, period."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"My parents cloth diapered, supplementing disposables when needed. I do not fear the mess - I've cleaned up after dogs too long to care. Save the planet, yo."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"If it's clean, open to second hand."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"This may have a 10% off coupon on Amazon - check before buying. This dresser has an insert to make it a normal dresser after baby doesn’t need changing anymore."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"We love Amallow tallow products! Was so glad to see they had a baby balm - all natural and super friendly for all skin types."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"I have stopped moms in the street while walking my dogs to ask about their carriers, and was told this one goes all the way to age 3-4. Requires an insert for newborns, but these moms have also told me a baby wrap is best for newborn phase. Highly recommended online, and by moms on the street. Lol"

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"Somewhat optional - other moms have told me a baby bod wrap works best for newborns."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"The natural material needs to be replaced every 6-8 weeks, thus the multiples."

Note from Alaina and Ron:

"This thing seems gross, but it's actually quite practical. NO, I will not be swallowing my child's boogers. Price point was the best, simple device."

Note from Alaina and Ron:
