JAX Creates Her Babies”R”Us at Kohl’s Registry

Hey Mamas-to-be! 👋 So many of you asked about my Babies R Us at Kohl's baby registry, and I'm so excited to dive deeper into it! When I first started, I felt a little overwhelmed, but it's actually been so much fun picking out everything for my little one. If you're wondering how to get started or what to add, you've come to the right place! First things first, let's talk about the Kohl's baby registry box. Yes, it's a real thing, and it's awesome! When you create your Kohl's baby registry online or in-store, make sure to complete a certain percentage of your registry (usually adding a minimum number of items). Once you hit that milestone, you can often pick up a free welcome box packed with samples, coupons, and sometimes even a little gift for baby. I remember getting mine, and it was such a pleasant surprise – a little taste of what's to come! Definitely worth doing, as those little samples can really help you decide what brands you like before buying full-sized products. Check their website or ask an associate for the most up-to-date details on how to claim yours. Now, onto one of the biggest decisions: the infant car seat. This was a huge one for me, and Kohl's has a fantastic selection. When I was looking, I focused on a few key things: safety ratings, ease of installation, and how well it would fit into our lifestyle (and our car!). I spent ages researching different brands like Chicco, Graco, and Evenflo, all of which you can often find at Kohl's or order through their Babies R Us partnership. Ultimately, I went with a convertible car seat that could grow with my baby, but many first-time parents prefer an infant car seat that clicks directly into a stroller for easy transfers. Make sure to check the expiration date, as car seats do expire, and always register your car seat with the manufacturer for recall notifications. Don't forget to look for sales and use those Kohl's Cash rewards – they add up fast! Beyond the car seat, selecting top baby registry items can feel like a marathon. Here’s a quick rundown of some categories I focused on and why: Sleeping: A safe crib and mattress are non-negotiable. I also added swaddles (game-changer for sleep!), sleep sacks, and a white noise machine. Having a few different types of swaddles was a lifesaver for figuring out what my baby preferred. Feeding: Whether you plan to breastfeed or bottle-feed, you'll need supplies. For breastfeeding, I registered for a pump, nursing pillow, and nursing bras. For bottle-feeding, different bottle brands, sterilizer, and a bottle brush. It’s smart to get a few different bottle types because you never know what your baby will like! Diapering: Diapers (in various sizes!), wipes, diaper cream, and a changing pad were high on my list. Consider a diaper pail to keep odors contained – trust me on this one! Bathing & Health: A baby bathtub, gentle baby soap/shampoo, soft towels, and a baby first-aid kit (thermometer, nail clippers, nasal aspirator) are essentials. Clothing: A variety of onesies, sleepers, and outfits in newborn and 0-3 month sizes. Remember, babies grow fast, so don't overdo it on newborn sizes! Play & Gear: A baby bouncer or swing, play mat, and a few sensory toys are great for development and keeping baby entertained. Don't forget a baby carrier – perfect for keeping baby close while getting things done. Creating my Kohls Babies R Us baby registry has been such a fun part of preparing for baby. It’s not just about getting gifts; it’s about organizing all the things you’ll need and feeling ready. Don't be afraid to add items you think you'll need, even if they seem minor. Also, take advantage of the completion discount that most registries offer – it’s a great way to snag those last-minute essentials or bigger ticket items you didn't receive. Happy registering, everyone! You got this!
