Blake Lively Reveals Her Amazon Baby Registry ‘Must-Haves’

Blake Lively Reveals Her Amazon Baby Registry ‘Must-Haves’

People

The actress compiled all of her ‘go-to’ baby items in one place

Blake Lively is making shopping for baby simple and easy — and helping other parents in the process — with her new Amazon baby registry.

The actress and mom created a one-stop shop for all of the products she recommends to pals, based on her own experiences and some tried-and-true testing.

Before I had my own kids, I asked all the parents I trusted most for a list of their ‘go-to’ items. My registry is made of all those products plus ones that I’ve discovered myself over the years,” Lively tells PEOPLE. “The neat part is I actually keep this registry active for years, because it’s an easy way for me to reorder all our basics, and it’s also a great way to share my ‘must-have’ list with my friends, as they did with me when I needed it. The baby registry is a community tool for me more than anything else.

Like Lauren Conrad’s baby registry, which was also created on Amazon, the list includes picks for both parents and babies, as well as nursery, feeding and diapering staples. And it’s all Prime-eligible, which Lively appreciates as an Amazon shopper.

Oh man, one click shopping is dangerously easy,” she says. “I tend to use Amazon for everything I can. It’s just so easy.

Her top finds include everything from the top-rated $38 Playtex Diaper Genie to Baby Jogger’s $450 double City Mini strollerDiapers from Jessica Alba’s The Honest Company also made the list.

Though super-serious about her recommendations, Lively is happy to joke about her maternity style (It’s “comfortable, comfortable, comfortable in real life and unrealistically awesome when I have to do press [as at the Detective Pikachu premiere, above]. But that’s only a couple days a year, if that. I really raise the bar for myself, then it’s back to pajamas, onesies and disappointment”) as well as her postpartum style (which she describes as “Lord Varys.” Yes, from Game of Thrones.)

And though she loves many things about parenthood – “Just sitting and telling stories together, drawing, building forts, dancing, picking up trash to protect their imaginary dolphin. All sounds cheesy, but it’s those simple moments I appreciate most,” she says – getting sleep isn’t one of them: “I plan to get lots of sleep when I’m dead,” she jokes. (For parents who also aren’t blessed with great sleepers, she has another recommendation: “Sound machines with white noise on low while watching Classical Baby... which had to have been made by actual saints.”)

Before you check out her picks, what qualifies a product for a spot on Lively’s “must-have” list? “I always hope to find items that are good for my babies and are also kind to the environment,” she says, noting that items like reusable water bottles and cutlery make “life so much easier because I’m much more prepared with snacks for my kids and myself.” In fact, her reusable water bottle makes her list of things that get rescued from her house in a fire, as well as “snack packs, a baby carrier and my daughter’s handmade bunny from Bird on Elephant.”

As to whether any items were specially requested by the kids in her life? “My oldest child LOVES Aviation Gin, but he’s 42,” she jokes.

Blake Lively welcomes baby no. 3 with Ryan Reynolds

Blake Lively welcomes baby no. 3 with Ryan Reynolds

The Hollywood couple reportedly welcomed the baby over a month ago, but are yet to publicly announce the arrival.

The lovebirds — parents to daughters James, four, and Inez, two — revealed they were expecting another bub at the May premiere of Pokémon: Detective Pikachu.

Lively, 31, posted a joyous picture of the pair on the red carpet which showed her resting one hand on her belly, with the caption “PokeMOM… Out now”.

The actors have yet to share details of the birth, however a source told US Weekly the baby “is about two months old”.

While the baby’s name or gender hasn’t been revealed, Reynolds told PEOPLE in 2016 that “if I could have nine daughters, I would be thrilled. Really, like I genuinely would be”.

In April this year, Reynolds gushed to cable TV show Extra that when his children “decide to go away to college… I’m going to be so needy”.

“I love being around them — it’s the best thing in the world.”

The couple met on the set of Green Lantern in 2010, when they were both in relationships — Lively was dating Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley and Reynolds was married to actress Scarlett Johansson.

They reportedly started dating around a year later in October 2011, and were married in September 2012.

The famous couple are fiercely private when it comes to their children, keeping them largely off social media.

Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds announce their third pregnancy at the ‘Detective Pikachu’ Premiere!

After months of speculation we can finally affirm, Blake Lively is pregnant with her third child!

The actress debuted her baby bump on the red carpet while supporting husband Ryan Reynolds at the premiere of his new movie Pokemon: Detective Pikachu on Thursday (May 2) in New York City.

Blake and Ryan, who have been married since 2012, are the parents of two children – daughters James, 4, and Inez, 2.

The couple keeps their children private, but they did bring both kids to Ryan‘s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony back in December 2016 and the little ones couldn’t have been cuter.

Congratulations to the happy couple on this exciting news!!!

Blake was wearing a Retrofête dress, Stuart Weitzman sandals, a Judith Leiber clutch, and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.

Blake to join husband Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool 2

The most recent Deadpool 2 rumor is that Blake Lively may be joining her husband Ryan Reynolds in the new movie. However, considering that The Shallows star is currently about four months pregnant with new baby, it’s highly unlike that she will be ready to film Deadpool 2. That doesn’t mean that Ryan Reynolds will drop out of the film though! The Shallows star became pregnant with her second baby back in April, after celebrating her first baby James’ birthday in December. She did not confirm until much later when her baby bump began to show… Ooo will she, won;t she?

More Baby Blake News

Blake Lively is all smiles on the cover of People magazine. She became a mom just last month, but has been primed for the job for years.

“I’m always teasing my sister’s kids that they are my own, and I’m always taking care of other people’s kids,” says the star, who welcomed her first child with husband Ryan Reynolds in December. (At press time the new parents had not yet revealed the baby’s gender or name.)

“Maybe because I didn’t grow up with little siblings, I’ve been making up for lost time. I’ve always felt like a mama.”

Now that she actually is one, “I don’t feel like it’s a massive change. I’ve always wanted a big family, and I understand that feeling when you have your first kid of ‘Let’s really be present in this.’ I do want to just enjoy this moment.”

But? “But I also feel like my first child is going to be the oldest sibling to the next kid, and that may change with each and every year. You don’t just raise your kids, your kids also raise each other – oh my Lord, the things I learned from my brother Eric. He’s influenced my life so much. So I’m looking forward to how one baby influences the other, and to my family as a whole, to every single chapter.”

Co-star and close friend, Amber Tamblyn was one of the last to find out. Tamblyn told People magazine that when she went to visit Lively, she had no idea there would be a baby present. “I went up there and I didn’t know, everybody knew but me, and she does that shit to me,” Tamblyn said. Apparently, Lively texted Tamblyn about new wallpaper that she was anxious for her friend to see. But that wallpaper turned out to be a newborn. “And I went up there, and there was her baby,” Tamblyn said. “That bitch! She tricked me!” Tamblyn joked.

Tamblyn said that all of the “Sisterhood” girls have seen the baby. “I’m very excited for her and Ryan, and to be an auntie,” Tamblyn said. “All of us are godmothers, so we are very happy.”

Baby Violet?

The baby’s sex and name were not known until now, but a message of congratulations from a woman who claims to work at Westchester Medical Center seems to have let the details slip.
The message from @kimbanksy read: ‘Congrats @blakelively #blakelively glad to have you and baby girl violet in our care.

The tweet, first picked up by Page Six, could not be immediately verified. MailOnline reached out to Blake’s representative for comment but did not receive an immediate response, yet.

Welcome, Baby Blake!

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are reportedly parents!

The couple welcomed their first child over the holidays, according to the New York Post’s Page Six. People also confirmed the news. The 27-year-old actress, who married Reynolds, 38, in 2012, reportedly gave birth near their home in Bedford, New York, just before the new year.

Although the baby arrived earlier than expected, Page Six was told both Lively and her little one are doing well.

Blake Lively Holiday Q&A

Pregnant Blake Lively discussed her favourite family traditions on Christmas for a video interview with The Kit.

The expecting 27-year-old revealed that her parents and her four older siblings – Eric, Lori, Robyn, and Jason – spend the day in bed together.

‘I don’t know how my family tends to…everybody gets in the same bed,’ the Savages starlet said of her showbiz LA family.

‘Somehow we just spend seven hours a day all together just chatting and it’s really nice to have that time, because it’s rare that we get together for such a nice chunk of time.’

Blake continued: ‘We never leave the house. We’re together all day whether we’re making gingerbread houses, or baking cookies, or sitting around and watching movies all piled up.’

2014 Angel Ball hosted by Gabrielles Angel Foundation

Blake Lively gazed into the eyes of her husband Ryan Reynolds at the Angel Ball at Cipriani Wall Street in Manhattan last night (October 20th). The parents-to-be – who are expecting their first child – celebrated their second wedding anniversary last month. The glowing 27-year-old took the plunge in a yellow long-sleeved gown, and she accessorised with Ofira Sandberg jewelry.

Ryan, who turns 38 on Thursday has been considering several names for his unborn child. ‘On the plane over here I was trying to think of baby names,’ Ryan told Canada’s eTalk. ‘I don’t want a name that’s anything pretentious or, like, Hollywood-y. So I’m going with Excalibur Anaconda Reynolds…that’s if it’s a girl.’

Blake said ‘I never knew what I wanted to do for a living but I knew I wanted to have a lot of kids because I had come from a big family, so it was always important to me. So it’s just the excitement of that finally being here.’

Last Friday, Lively – born Brown – shared snaps from her autumn-themed outdoor baby shower on her lifestyle/E-commerce website, Preserve.us.

‘With a new baby on the way there is so much to do! ‘But before experiencing the joy of 3am screams, seemingly impossible amounts of poop and having a favorite shirt covered in reflux…there are presents to open, onesies to dye, there is cake to serve, advice to be shared and all around celebration to be had. And that we did.’

We added photos from the event last night and the Preserve Baby Shower Shoot to the gallery …

Pregnant Blake Lively Showcases her growing Baby Bump

Blake announced her pregnancy about a week ago, and last night she proudly paraded her blossoming bump, at the God’s Love We Deliver, Golden Heart Awards in New York City. We have added x79 photos from the event.

Speaking to E! the star revealed that she feels she has ‘always’ been a mother. ‘I came from a big family, a big family of Southerners,’ she told them, adding: ‘I feel like I’ve always sorta… I’m the youngest of five, so I never raised any siblings below me, but I’m always the person who’s taking everyone else’s kid and putting them on my hip, so I’ve kinda always been a mama’.

Blake’s clinging dress featured long sleeves and flowed from her thighs-down. She styled her golden locks in loose curls which fell past her shoulders and dangling earrings. The Gossip Girl star’s make-up coordinated with her ensemble, consisting of a neutral Autumn-inspired palette.

The Preserve founder appeared to be without her husband Ryan Reynolds but she did have designer Michael Kors by her side on the red carpet. Other stars to attend the event included model Bette Midler, Nicola Peltz, Gigi Hadid, Halle Berry, Hilary Rhoda, and Jaime King.
