Baby Gear Recommendations
Here is the list of baby gear recommendations from me and other moms – the people with personal experience using these products. In most cases there are a few choices for each baby item type, so you can choose the one that suits you best. Most of the links are to Amazon and some go to Babylist, Target, or Walmart.
You can see if the store you registered at also carries the same item or maybe you already created your baby registry at some of the stores mentioned. The point is to help you understand which baby products are recommended by moms who have actually used them.
