Baby registry checklist, priced per unit

Registry lists are written by people selling registries. This one covers only the consumables a newborn genuinely gets through in the first month, and prices each one per diaper, per load and per bag — the numbers that decide whether a "value" pack is one.

Quantities cover roughly the first month. Prices are live medians across 190 tracked listings.

The “typical price” column is the median across every listing we track in that category, not an average of the cheap ones — so it is what you would actually pay without looking anything up. The gap between the two totals is what the looking-up is worth.
