Like wedding registries, a baby registry serves the same purpose...to allow friends of the parents to get them stuff that they would prefer to receive (for the baby, of course). (Well, at least they won't be stuck with 30 new sets of newborn clothings etc...hahaha) Not so much of a practice over in this part of the world...
Should I start one? Initially, I had thought of just listing down the stuff I am considering getting for Baby Louisa. But then another thought struck me. What if Baby Louisa received 2 or 3 of the exact same item? Wouldn't that be worse? Besides, starting a baby registry in a particular store, means people would have to go there to pick out their items. More often than not, we find that in Singapore, it is possible to get the same item, at a much cheaper price elsewhere (compared with the store where the registry is located).
Anyway, I'm not sure how a baby registry would go down with some people. So, chuck that idea.
What we have not gotten for Baby Louisa yet though...are these few items:-
(a) Car seat - Saw one (Aprica brand) that is for newborns up to 4 yrs old (or X kg - I can't remember how heavy). Sounds like a good and worthwhile investment, since it can last that long...
(b) Stroller / Pram - The Combi brand seems really light. Will definitely need to get one, just not sure when. Now, I'm worried Baby Louisa's back and neck are still too soft for a stroller. But without one, it may be tiring to carry her around...
(c) Baby bouncer - Fisher price type? Looks really cute. Think she will enjoy the toys hanging there...
(d) Baby thermometer - Braun brand? It looks good. Should we get one now or wait till those post-Christmas sales? Hmmmm....
Just washed the mosquito net last night. Not sure how useful it will be...hahaha.
Oh, Baby Louisa is now 3.3kg...(have I mentioned that earlier?) What would her weight be when she comes out? Would she look like Daddy or Mummy?
