The world of baby products is extensive and exhausting.

It’s often hard to know what to get and why you need it.

Luckily, there are experts like Sandra Gordon, author of Consumer Reports Best Baby Products.

The mom of two recently spoke to PEOPLE Moms & Babies about baby must-haves, and how to save a little money when buying them.

“Do your homework, go to the store,” she says. “Get an idea of what products are right for you and your lifestyle. Maximize those registry dollars and not treat it as a gifting free-for-all — it’ll save you from making returns and being stuck with things you don’t need.”

When Bryce Dallas Howard discovered she was pregnant a week after tying the knot with Seth Gabel, the actress was elated.

“I loved being pregnant. Yes, I threw up every day for six months, and yes, the stretch marks were (and still are) obscene. But I treasured every moment I had with this new life growing inside me,” the Eclipse actress, 29, writes in the latest GOOP newsletter.

Although the state of bliss continued throughout the pregnancy, those feelings suddenly came to a screeching halt moments after Howard delivered her son Theodore Norman.

“Nothing. I felt nothing,” she reveals. “Memories of the following events are hazy. I remember that I suddenly stopped feeling pain despite having been stitched without anesthesia.”

After taking a stylish turn at the Salt premiere Monday night, it’s back to business — family business, that is — for Naomi Watts as she totes PJ-clad son Samuel Kai (and some tea!) on Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif.

Kai, 19 months, and elder brother Sasha — who turns 3 this week — have traded the Big Apple for the West Coast as parents Watts, 41, and Liev Schreiber work on California-based projects.

Ann-Marie Hensley

The holiday season will be extra special for Dierks Bentley and his wife Cassidy this year — the couple are expecting baby number two in December, the country star tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“We’re so excited that our daughter Evie is going to get a baby sister or brother for Christmas,” says Bentley, 35, who told PEOPLE when Evie was born that she made life “twice as big.”

But, he says, no one’s more eager for the new addition than the 21-month-old.

“She’s pretty obsessed with a baby doll she carries around now … we’ll see how she does with the real thing!” Bentley says.
