Registry: Feeding

The Basics:

The main thing you'll need is a high chair.  There are a lot of options out there and at a variety of prices.  My hubby and I wanted something that would grow with the baby and something that was easy to keep clean.  We opted for the Fisher-Price-4-in-1 Total Clean High Chair.  After you no longer need a high chair, it converts to a booster seat.  The plastic pieces of the high chair come apart and are dishwasher safe.  The high chair seat cover is removable and machine-washable.

You'll want some bibs to protect those adorable onsies.  If you want something basic, Green Sprouts bibs are rated very well and are reasonably priced.  They come come in various sizes, starting with infant  and then moving up to bibs for 3 to 12 month olds.  If you want something that's a step up, Bumkins SuperBibs are waterproof, wipeable, and machine washable. Additionally they have a crumb-catcher pocket.  These bibs fit babies 6 months old and up.

Bottles:

Of course you're going to need some bottles, which it seems babies can be pretty picky about.  I've registered for Philips Avent Natural bottles because a few breastfeeding moms that I know have recommended them and I have a few free samples.  Whatever you get, you'll want 6 to 9 in each size.

Also, don't forget a brush for cleaning your bottles and a set of dishwasher baskets if you plan on going that route.  Finally, you'll want a drying rack -  Boons drying racks come highly recommended. You can get the GRASS or the LAWN rack.  I opted for the lawn because its slightly larger and I want to be able to fit the parts from my breast pump.  And if you want some extra drying space you can get a few Boon TWIGs for drying small parts like bottle nipples.




Cups, Dishes, Etc.
