Getting ready for the arrival of a new baby is hard. There are a million and one different things to take into consideration, and with each concern comes a new potential purchase.
This means that the preparation process isn't just hard; it can get expensive too. One way to handle these new costs is to call upon your friends and family for their love and support— and this is where a baby registry comes in.
Whether you want to host a baby shower or not, creating a wish list for items you and your baby will need is a great way to ensure you have everything you need when the time comes to say hello to your newborn.
However, when you've got a wealth of new concerns on your mind, keeping track of all your desired items and who's bought them may be a next-to-impossible task. This is where MyCrib comes in.
Gone are the days of pen and paper; instead MyCrib offers you the chance to create an online baby registry where you can keep track of what has already been bought, as well as find advice on products you need and keep track of RSVPs to your baby shower. Oh, and did we mention it's completely free?

What is MyCrib?
MyCrib is a baby registry service based in the UK, which allows expecting parents to draw up an online list of the items they need for their baby's arrival, which can then be shared with friends and family.
You can add any product from any website to your list— yes, really— and your friends and family can check off anything they've bought for you to avoid any duplication.
And it's not just a baby registry on offer here. MyCrib offers a range of other services, from product recommendations to creating baby shower invitations.
How does MyCrib work?

MyCrib registries are designed with the user at the front of mind, making it a really simple and intuitive platform to use.
Once you've signed up to the site, you can get cracking with creating your baby wish list. MyCrib is on hand to help you choose some products, or you can also add your own using the product's URL. You can also find a whole host of MadeForMums approved products on there. MyCrib will then sync all the product's information and add it to your list.
They also keep track of all the sites which are selling the product and what price they're sitting at, so that when it comes time to buy, products are available at the lowest cost.
It's easy to share your list with friends and family via email, WhatsApp or various social media platforms. When a gift from your list has been bought, it will automatically be marked as purchased to avoid any potential duplication.
Creating a MyCrib babylist is all about making your list your way. Choose whether you want gifts delivered to your house or the buyer's house, and whether you want buyers to remain anonymous or not.
Your registry will be completely private until you decide to share it, and you also have the option to password-protect it for an extra level of security.
Is creating a MyCrib wishlist free?
Yes, creating a Mycrib wishlist is entirely free.
How to create a baby wishlist or registry on MyCrib
Firstly, head over to the MyCrib website and sign up— the whole process takes less than a minute and you can get started on adding products right away.
If you already know which products you want, you can start adding them straight away using links from online retailers. However, if you need a little extra help, the MyCrib team is on hand to do just that.
There are a range of articles and buying guides on-site to help you choose the best products for you, not to mention the expertly curated selections of recommendations - including a selection of MadeForMums must-haves.
You can even check out the lists of other expecting parents to get even more inspiration.
Once you've decided on what you want, it's time to personalise. You can add a background picture and some optional information about your pregnancy. You can even add hearts beside certain items to show which items on your list you want to prioritise.
Your loved ones can then buy a gift from your list online, which will automatically be marked as purchased on your list to avoid duplicates. Gifts can be delivered to the buyer's house or your home, and gift-givers have the choice of whether to remain anonymous or attach a note.
If you would rather have the items delivered to your home, you can add your address to the list header, as well as a little note letting your family and friends know you'd prefer this.
