You can control who can find and view your registry by updating your privacy settings at any time.
Understand your privacy settings
Public
Make your registry searchable on Babylist so friends and family can find it easily.
- Turn on Google visibility to allow your registry to appear in search engine results
- It may take a few days to a couple of weeks for search engines to index your registry
- If you switch back to private, removal from search results can take up to two weeks
Private
Private is the default setting for all registries and keeps your registry more limited.
- Your registry won’t appear in Babylist search results
- Your registry won’t appear in search engines
- Only people with your direct registry link can view it
Password protection
Add a password for an extra layer of privacy.
- Password protection works with both public and private settings
- Anyone opening your registry must enter the password before viewing it
- Share the password directly with friends and family so they can access your registry

What to know about search visibility
Search engines don’t update instantly, so changes may take some time to show.
- New public registries can take several days to appear in search results
- Removing your registry from search results can take up to two weeks after switching to private
- Password protection adds an extra layer of privacy but does not remove your registry from search listings if it is public
