Our good friend Alissa, mother to Cecilia, put together a list of her recommendations for essential baby products! She included some brands, but mostly just listed products themselves, to give you freedom to find brands you love. We are including her list in the blog in case it helps you to build your registries! All the best! Very Good Mothers Club
