Your 2nd child
posted 24th Oct
Assuming they are close in age and you basically have everything from the 1st one. Minus double stroller.
What would you say was a must have? What made it easier with 2?

I liked the bumbo, mine were 16 mo apart, and with the bumbo i could sit baby in it next to me on the table (gasp!) and eat and feed my 16 mo old and watch my baby, and I think it helped him feel included untill he could crawl and be with us in general

The only things that I bought for my second were new pacifiers, new nipple and bottle parts and some clothes... not really a "must have" but like you said, I had everything from the first already. If you don't have any kind of baby carrier, I'd suggest one of them. I wore my second all the time so I was able to get stuff done while still having free hands to take care of my 19 month old.

Mine are 21 months apart I carried my first just in my arms with the second one it was just to much to hold the baby and have my other childs hand. So I needed a baby carrier and to me was one of the most useful things we purchased besides the double stroller which you mentioned.

So in pretty much set. Besides the newborn cloth and paper diapers. And Binkys and bottles (gon to boob feed for 4 weeks then start pumping. Hoping it all goes well. As clothes of its a girl. A few new things for boy but I saved everything.
I have the gear and the moby plus the beco. We have a swing bouncer bumboo.

Swing because it broke when my first was like, 4 months old. And I got all new pacifiers and bottles even though I breastfeed so I'll probably be giving those away. That's pretty much all I've bought so far besides diapers.
