I realized DD2 likes to sleep being held so putting DD1 down for naps is impossible! I'm hoping the swing will solve that problem </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610689 Sat, 03 May 2014 11:50:02 +0000 autumnlove 1610689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a dresser, changing pad, crib, crib mattress, wipe warmer, newborn diaper covers, more cloth wipes, a few newborn outfits, pumping bags, cloth diaper pail liners, crib sheet, Tommee Tippee bottles, changing pad cover, double stroller, infant adapter for my BOB stroller, hooded towels, drawer organizers and a Rock n Play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610688 Sat, 03 May 2014 11:49:12 +0000 Boogs 1610688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far we need:<br /> -a crib mattress<br /> -a double stroller<br /> -a second (baby monitor) camera</p> <p>I've saved everything else, so hopefully we don't need much more. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610653 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:53:24 +0000 wonderstruck 1610653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Good to hear that others have re-used bottles too! It took a long time to find one L would take, and at first he would only take the super expensive kind, so I just bought a few and was able to switch him shortly after. So we have TT bottles, Dr Browns, and Medela Calma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610650 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:50:54 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1610650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: great deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610644 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:44:44 +0000 matador84 1610644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We reused our bottles, except she didn't take dr browns, so I got some tt's this week. We got a double stroller , second humidifier, clothing, everything else reused or friends let us borrow (crib, crib sheets) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610642 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:40:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 1610642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: @wonderstruck: I just won a bid on ebay last week on a second monitor! it was a second motorola (the 3.5" pan/zoom one) for $44! plus ship was 49.99. I was psyched. not even pregnant yet, but I use it in the living room to spy on my daughter if I have to get dinner going or do the dishes..she is TROUBLE lately!</p> <p>this thread is making my seemingly short list grow. lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610640 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:39:16 +0000 wonderstruck 1610640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: Our son hated pacis too, which is the problem...I don't know where any of his are anymore, he hated them and would spit them out and toss them aside to the point that we never had more than a few and they've all disappeared, haha.</p> <p>And thank you for reminding me about needing a second monitor camera! Adding it to my list now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610638 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:37:16 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1610638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it's gross but I saved some of the lesser-used pacis. I'm glad I did because the baby hates them. Otherwise new ones would have been money down the drain. And I don't think there's anything gross about reusing bottles.</p> <p>My biggest must have was a video monitor with two cameras (I had just used an audio monitor with my first son). We got a double stroller but really don't need it much. And I splurged on a glider this time so I would have a place in the nursery to nurse and to hide from big brother. Worth it.</p> <p>Otherwise everything was reusable, right down to clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610635 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:34:58 +0000 sorrycharlie 1610635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: I was going to go straight to a twin bed on the floor lol (to save falling, and money!) but someone I know is transitioning her toddler to a twin bed anyway..so hey, why not ;)</p> <p>I thought of, too, breast pump (hoping insurance will cover again) because I read that you aren't supposed to save between babies with an open-system. I have several bottles, but plan to EBF again, so I probably won't buy more!</p> <p>and 2 wubbanubs for new baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610627 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:30:24 +0000 wonderstruck 1610627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Our hopeful plan is to save the money on a toddler bed and just go straight to a twin bed with a mesh rail. I really don't want to buy another crib so I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to transition L and it won't be a problem! And your post reminded me of something else I want - a glider! I didn't get one last time, and it was one of the only things I really regretted not purchasing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610623 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:28:22 +0000 wonderstruck 1610623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: Yep, that's pretty much exactly what I'm wondering about the bottles! I've been saving them just in case since I'm not sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610616 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:21:11 +0000 HLK208 1610616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We needed...</p> <p>Dresser<br /> Crib sheets<br /> Crib mattress (LO #1 was in the toddler bed)<br /> Lots of clothing since they are different genders<br /> Swing<br /> Beco Gemini carrier<br /> Bottles<br /> Breast pump parts (but I'm reusing them for my third)<br /> Double stroller<br /> Infant car seat (we got rid of ours)<br /> Decor </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610615 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:20:39 +0000 sorrycharlie 1610615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>fun thread!</p> <p>we'll likely just get:<br /> -double stroller<br /> -infant carseat<br /> -humidifier </p> <p>we're being given a toddler bed and mattress, so DD's crib &amp; mattress will go to the new baby. we'll also just move the glider from her room into the new baby's room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610604 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:11:35 +0000 pinkcupcake 1610604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks good! I don't think we will have to buy much if we have a second. Going off your list, I think the only things I wouldn't get are changing pad (we just change LO on the floor bc she's too tall for the changing table now), nursing pillow (I have a boppy and MBF already), and double stroller (LO hates the stroller). </p> <p>I would need an infant insert for my ergo and a swing (we sold ours).</p> <p>I have the same question about bottles... I saved all of ours and I feel like they'll be fine to use once I run them through the sterilizer but I can't help but be worried that because they're older and used, there are germs living in the plastic </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-shopping-list#post-1610599 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:06:20 +0000 wonderstruck 1610599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The thread about must-have baby items made me start wondering what kind of stuff other people have needed when they have their second baby. I'm hoping to re-use a lot from my son - he'll only be 17 months when the baby is born, so all his gear is still quite new. How does this list look?</p> <p>For second nursery:<br /> - Dresser<br /> - Bedding<br /> - Lamp/night light<br /> - Humidifier<br /> - Changing pad and diaper pail (since they'll both be in diapers)<br /> - New bedding, mobile, and decor (okay, not a must have, but I want it!)</p> <p>Gear:<br /> - Double stroller<br /> - Breast pump (have one from the first baby, but I can get a new one from insurance, so why not.)<br /> - Breastfeeding pillow (didn't use one last time but thinking it will be more necessary with 2 little ones)</p> <p>And then the more obvious stuff like new pacifiers, bottles (maybe? do we need new bottles or just new nipples?), clothes to suit the different season this baby is being born in. </p>
