Laila & Rusty's Baby Registry
Hi friends,
please don't feel compelled to buy us things! No purchase necessary to be part of baby's life!
We are intentionally trying to be minimalist. There are a lot of things that we have very intentionally decided not to own. We intend to remain in an apartment in the city for many years to come. So while there may be some things that seem conventionally ubiquitous for babies that are missing from our list, that is largely on purpose.
For example, we are searching for a rotating toy service instead of stocking up now, and we will not have a dedicated nursery so prefer not to have too much additional furniture.
That said, we're also new to this! And we'd love suggestions for the sorts of things that we might never have thought we'd need!
We already have the parts for a baby surveillance system and have picked out a diapering service.
Finally, we are committed to sustainability where possible and are enthusiastic about using previously owned products. Babies grow so fast-- no need to buy everything that will only fit a few months new. Note that at two and a half months she's already outgrowing some 3-6mo pjs!
While we're also picky about safety and features, the bay area fb marketplace is *full* of a lot of the brands and gear we're looking for, so I definitely encourage anyone who *does* wish to give homage to our new little one to consider used items.
Some general preferences: Cotton. Both parents have pretty sensitive skin so we expect her to be so cursed
Color preferences: Jewel tones (deep reds and blues or even green, maroon, fuscha and deeper pinks) white, or undyed. (Peaches and salmon are only meant to be eaten not worn.)
Easy access with zippers and ties and sacks instead of buttons and snaps
Minimize plastic
Note if you try to do an Amazon purchase but have issues with the address, then you can use the backup Amazon registry directly (but please mark off here too). If you have address issues otherwise let us or one of our mothers know and we'll pass it along.
