Creating a baby registry can feel overwhelming, but Amazon makes it easy with everything you need in one place. Whether you’re a first-time parent or adding to your growing family, having the right essentials can make all the difference.
In this guide, I have put together my list of the best Amazon baby registry must haves, plus some optional items. I am a mom of 3, who loves writing about baby gear, and that’s why I put together this list for you.

Let’s get your Amazon list ready so you can focus on what matters most – welcoming your little one!
