Minimalist baby registry It’s easy to get swept away with all the baby gear available today, but registering for what you actually need can help your family keep your home uncluttered. Filtering out the items that won’t be used and focusing on high-quality pieces that are functional, safe, and can grow with your child is key for minimalist moms-to-be.

Whether you’re a minimalist parent-to-be or just want to limit the number of items you add to your list, this list of must haves has everything you need. These items work in small spaces, are multi-functional, or can grow with your child so you can reuse them for years to come.

The Elvie breast pump is perfect for minimalist moms as it’s a small, portable, and light-weight option that allows you to do almost anything while you pump. It also comes with a storage case to keep it organized and ready for travel.

If you’re going to breastfeeding, be sure to include a few good nursing bras and nursing pads on your list as well as some lanolin. You’ll also need a few soft and absorbent diapers as you begin your journey as a new parent.

You’ll also need a baby monitor that checks the boxes of being lightweight, portable, and high-quality. I love the Infant Optics monitor, which can be thrown in your bag without much notice and it has all the features you’ll need to keep an eye on your little one. Lastly, you’ll need to register for a few crib sheets and a crib mattress cover. I like the Graco 4ever 4-in-1 car seat mattress covers and pad because they’re machine washable and have a water-resistant coating.
