Caitlin's Baby Registry

Note from Caitlin and Brandon:

"The AquaTru Carafe Countertop system is perfect for Dominique because it’s NSF-certified reverse osmosis, which means it’s proven to remove contaminants (see below) that regular filters can’t. The glass carafe keeps water plastic-free, the compact size fits easily on the counter, and it gives us a dedicated supply of ultra-pure water for mixing baby formula and later for drinking. It removes: Fluoride (linked to lower childhood IQ and thyroid dysfunction) PFAS (forever chemicals that lodge in tissues and cross the blood-brain barrier and are associated with developmental delays, immune suppression, and certain cancers) Lead (a potent neurotoxin that permanently harms brain development, especially in children) Chlorine & Chloramine (disinfectants that cause bad taste/odor and may form harmful byproducts) Pesticides & Herbicides (including atrazine, a known endocrine disruptor) Pharmaceutical residues (like hormones and antibiotics that slip through municipal treatment) Industrial chemicals (like VOCs and solvents) Microplastics (tiny particles increasingly found in tap water which cause inflammation, developmental risks, and disruption of the endocrine system)"

Note from Caitlin and Brandon:

"Trying to stick to all-natural, no plastic items"

Note from Caitlin and Brandon:

"The space beside our bed is TINY so a bassinet that is less than 20” wide is ideal, hence us selecting this one. Any that are safe and secondhand / Facebook marketplace is absolutely fine with us!"

Note from Caitlin and Brandon:

"Obviously our daughter will be this cool."

Note from Caitlin and Brandon:

"Dominique is half Brandon so she obviously needs a dodecahedron to play with."

Note from Caitlin and Brandon:

"Seeking to avoid plastic wherever possible, especially with items Dominique will put in her mouth."

Note from Caitlin and Brandon:

"Everything I (Caitlin) need for the hospital stay and one of the best rated products out there, and also then I don’t have to wear and use the crappy hospital free stuff (especially that scratchy starchy gown!)"
