Baby Registry Checklist | Fillable PDF
Sponsored Links
A baby registry is useful for letting friends and family know what to get you to help with the new addition to your family. Using a checklist lets everyone know what you need and what you don’t need, so loved ones don’t get you lots of baby clothes, for example, when you already have more than enough.

Many stores offer baby registry services, and you can use them by scanning the items you need while at the store. This generates a list of the items you need so your loved ones can go to the store and get you the perfect gifts before a baby shower. Using a baby registry also prevents others from buying the same item multiple times. You can find this service at places like Baby Center and Babies “R” Us.
