Putting together a baby registry can feel overwhelming. There are a million gadgets, gizmos, and “must-haves” out there—but if you’re leaning toward a more natural lifestyle, you may not want half of what the big-box registry checklists push. Instead, you want safe, simple, and effective products that are actually going to get used every day.
Here are some natural baby registry items that real moms swear by (and that you’ll actually be grateful to have on hand):
1. Glass Baby Bottles
Plastic-free, safer, and longer-lasting. Glass bottles are easy to clean and don’t leach chemicals into your baby’s milk. Plus, they heat up more evenly if you’re warming bottles.
2. Organic Muslin Swaddles
Forget scratchy, stiff baby blankets. Lightweight muslin swaddles are breathable, soft, and versatile. Use them as a swaddle, stroller cover, nursing cover, or even a quick burp cloth in a pinch.
3. Tender Tallow Everything Cream
Baby skin is delicate—and the last thing you want is a lotion filled with fragrance, preservatives, or ingredients you can’t pronounce. Tender Tallow Everything Cream is a simple, natural beef tallow balm made from grass-fed beef tallow, designed to soothe everything from dry cheeks to diaper rashes. It’s gentle enough for newborns but effective enough for the whole family (because trust me—you’ll end up using it on yourself too).
Registry hack: Add more than one jar to your Babylist registry—one for the nursery, one for your diaper bag, and one for your bathroom counter.
4. Wooden Teethers & Toys
Skip the neon plastic teethers and rattles. Wooden toys are durable, safer to chew on, and way less of an eyesore in your living room.
5. Organic Cotton Onesies
Simple, soft, and breathable. Babies live in onesies, so stock up on a handful made from organic cotton that won’t irritate sensitive skin.
6. Cloth Diapers or Reusable Wipes (Even If You Don’t Go Full-Time)
Even if you don’t plan to cloth diaper 24/7, having a few on hand can save you in a pinch (hello, blowouts). And reusable wipes? Total game-changer.
7. Natural Rubber Pacifiers
If you’re using pacifiers, opt for natural rubber ones. They’re softer and free from chemical additives.
8. A Baby Carrier You’ll Actually Wear
A good carrier is worth its weight in gold. Look for one made from natural fibers (cotton or linen), and don’t be afraid to try a few styles to find your perfect fit.
Final Thoughts
Your baby doesn’t need a thousand gadgets—they need love, snuggles, and a few thoughtfully chosen products that support their health and comfort. By focusing on natural, safe, and multipurpose items, you’ll save space, money, and stress.
And if there’s one product that moms tell me they can’t live without? Tender Tallow. Add it to your registry—you’ll thank yourself later.
