We were convinced our colicky/ acid reflux baby would love it as she loves to be rocked. She hated it and it was a complete waste! She does, however, love swinging in a hammock--go figure ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1/page/2#post-278597 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 16:13:00 +0000 banana 278597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coco bee: I would go back and get the brown or other color if I could. the black is a lint magnet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-278563 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:43:08 +0000 Mrs. Pen 278563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I have the beco too. I have never noticed it getting linty. I don't have the solid black one however, I have the brown and orange owls one.</p> <p>I haven't used an ergo, but I wanted to try it too because DS didn't like the beco as an infant, he only liked the moby or maya. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-278269 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 12:22:03 +0000 Honeybee 278269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing we got was a swing (my mom bought it). We hardly used it, though, because DS was not a swing baby. Neither was DD, but my mom insisted I needed one the second time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-278238 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 12:06:56 +0000 heffalump 278238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: I want the kind that I wear that my LO can chew on. She's 13 months old now and only has 3 teeth so I actually think it would still work for her.... maybe I should still get it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-278184 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 11:39:38 +0000 bienlivingdesign 278184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: check nobetterdeal.com for k'tan's on the cheap!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-278142 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 11:17:02 +0000 banana 278142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I'm constantly lint brushing it! I have the black with gray flowers on it. it's super cute but a major lint magnet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277998 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:58:47 +0000 sorrycharlie 277998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I have a black ergo (options) that I just got this week (no LO yet) and it's definitely linty. lol. it came that way though. and with a dog I'm sure it'll stay linty..something I didn't even consider! I'll just keep a lint roller in the car hahah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277996 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:58:27 +0000 Weagle 277996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I have the black with white polka dots. The lint isn't too bad, but I'm having to clean it constantly because she spits up every time I put her in it! White, chalky, dried spit up. But it's a sure-fire way to work out some gas :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277981 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:54:25 +0000 banana 277981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@c.sassy: thanks for that insight!! I'll see if I can borrow my friend's ergo to test it out! by the way, what color<br /> becco do u have? mine is black and it gets soooo linty! do u have that same problem ? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277892 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:13:51 +0000 sorrycharlie 277892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm feeling good now that we have a lot of the items people are wish listing! woohoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277863 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 08:58:48 +0000 dc yoga bee 277863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Subscribing this for later use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277833 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 08:46:05 +0000 Weagle 277833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I have the Ergo and the Beco Butterfly, and I prefer the Beco. I have way too many carriers, but I like to switch them up a bit. I haven't pulled out the Ergo at all since I got the Beco. The Beco just fits my body type much better than the Ergo... and it feels more secure. I suggest borrowing an Ergo just to test it before spending money on one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277831 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 08:45:37 +0000 LivsMama 277831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>totally favoriting this so I can refer back next time (years and years down the line...) For me, def the snug a bunny rock and sleep thingie, and possibly cloth diapers. Aside from that, we'll take it as it comes</p> <p>@bpcmarj: I have a Sakura Bloom Ring Sling and LOVE it. Its pricey, but it folds up small in my purse and is super easy to get on, even with an already sleeping baby. Love it.</p> <p>@cvbee: Feel ya. Like I said above, we have the SB ring sling (a silk one) but it came SO highly recommended we went for it. I havent regretted it since and its been used so much its probably down to like 10 cents per wear lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277773 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 08:27:44 +0000 bpcmarj 277773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bouncy seat was the only gear we didn't have. I am still hoping that I can find an ergo for cheap (or that I win one today on their last day for August giveaway!). If I don't find one, then I would love a soft carrier like the moby that is a little easier to get on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277670 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 07:51:16 +0000 cvbee 277670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm enjoying this thread. Makes me feel good about going slightly into debt buying an expensive wrap-sling carrier (blue celery) and the Ergo. Also makes me consider buying a teething necklace...........wait, um....@Mrs. Sunglasses: and @artbee: ... by teething necklace, you you mean the kind that you wear and baby chews on or the tiny necklace that babies wear with 'magic' amber stones or whatever they are?</p> <p>For most stuff, I think it would depend on whether or not we move. Now we're in such a small house that I can't imagine more gear. If we had way more space I would consider a swing machine, a good rocking glider chair, a jolly jumper, an exersaucer. </p> <p>Oh, and I would buy more newborn cloth diapers, as we only bought a bare minimum amount and I had to wash them every single day, which was fine, but it would be nice to do every-other day. I'd like more nursing bras too. And more cloth nursing pads. And more Halo velcro swaddlers. Pretty much I'd get more of what I know I like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277666 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 07:46:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 277666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I agree, a swing is totally a necessary item. </p> <p>We hadn't heard of the RocknPlay but I Think I may see if I could find one to try for #2. </p> <p>I love my Ergo, so happy we have that!!! I now know why its so hard to find them used, I would never give it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277651 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 07:34:27 +0000 purrpletulips 277651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are several things that I would consider for #2 that we didn't have for #1 but luckily most of them can be borrowed from a friend so I don't have to buy them outright. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277643 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 07:31:26 +0000 Mrs.B 277643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually have less for LO #2 but still have more "helpful" things instead of closet stuffers. This time around I have a good wrap and good carrier instead of a cheapy one, Swaddle wraps, noise machine, good breast pump, and blooming bath. I think that is it. I may invest in a nursing necklace as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277639 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 07:30:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 277639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apart from a double stroller, I didn't get anything this time around I didn't have the first time. Like @artbee: I might get a teething necklace . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277603 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 06:53:07 +0000 heffalump 277603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not many I don't think.... I would like a teething necklace though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277600 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 06:50:06 +0000 banana 277600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm thinking about getting the bjorn bouncer too! wendidnt have a bouncer for my son and mrs.bee was raving about it. might also get the ergo. I bought the beco butterfly for my son but I hear the ergo is more comfy. I want the rock n play toooooo! not sure I need it yet tho. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277588 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 06:18:44 +0000 mrs. wagon 277588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: @runsyellowlites: you guys read my frickin mind. I spent all last night researching how to get the baby k'tan and bjorn babysitter on the cheap. I also ordered the rock n play! It'll be here tomorrow!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277584 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 06:00:14 +0000 Rosie Girl 277584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I actually got less stuff for baby #2! I had so much stuff for DS that I didn't actually use </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277581 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 05:41:16 +0000 Andrea 277581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might get an Ergo. We also got rid of our bouncer and play mat so I will need to replace those. Otherwise, I think I've learned that you don't really need too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277568 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 04:34:58 +0000 Sweet T 277568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm seriously considering cloth diapers for any future babies. I would also buy more A+A blankets. We only had 2 because I bought them used for a dollar or two and was skeptical of spending so much on blankets.. I wish we would've had more though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277540 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:42:14 +0000 looch 277540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are probably done with one, but if we were to have a second, the only thing I'd buy is a real cosleeper. That's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277532 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:28:04 +0000 betsyboop 277532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swing, more miracle blankets (we started using ours late, after struggling with the a&amp;a swaddles for weeks) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277531 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:25:57 +0000 betsyboop 277531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: is there any way you could buy one used? I also bought one late (maybe when lo was 10ish weeks), but i got it used for a great price and it was in great condition. I have to say it has been so helpful, i can now have coffee and breakfast in the mornings and wash dishes, etc. i plan on selling it for hopefully what i bought it for once my lo outgrows it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-products-youll-get-for-2-you-didnt-have-for-1#post-277439 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 23:42:51 +0000 HLK208 277439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got so much more for #2 haha. A swing, baby gym, swaddle me's (life saver), infant bath with sling (so helpful), better carrier, better stroller and now a noise machine. We didn't have to buy any nursery, pricey items so we were able to spend money on other items.</p> <p>ETA: I wish HB was around when DS was born! When you only have "What to Expect the First Year" to read, you don't get a huge variety of ideas and opinions! </p>
