Same sizes for the baby and toddler woohoo!</p> <p>Same clothes.</p> <p>Oldest didn't take a pacifier, middle like Wubbanubs, youngest likes Nuk.</p> <p>Same car seats. Same high chairs.</p> <p>No bottles.</p> <p>Seems I'm pretty brand loyal. If it ain't broke don't fix it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615645 Sat, 03 Sep 2016 07:58:10 +0000 littlebug 2615645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up and Up wipes for D; Huggies for A (only because that's what the container we have on her dresser holds and I'm not willing to buy a new dispenser just for different wipes). Used California Baby diaper cream on D (needed CD safe) but it makes A break out in a rash, so she gets Triple Paste (no CD for her, unfortunately). Otherwise, it's all the same - Burts Bees bath and lotion, Up and Up diapers, making my own purees, Tommee Tippee bottles (D had anti-colic and A has regular), EBF for both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615625 Sat, 03 Sep 2016 06:45:28 +0000 lamariniere 2615625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the same diapers since we used gDiapers and I saved them all. DD was born in a different country from DS so we didn't have access to all of the same wipes and toiletries and things like that. Basically, if I could find the same tried and true products, I would use them, but other than diapers, I'm not super brand loyal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615480 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 16:59:27 +0000 travelgirl1 2615480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started off the same, but moved internationally when #2 was only four months so then I switched brands of wipes and diapers out of necessity of what was available. I used the same type of sleep sacks with both, tried pacis but neither took them... DS has sensitive skin though so I use Aveeno on him whereas I just used coconut oil with his sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615405 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 13:23:45 +0000 Alba4 2615405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the most part, although this time we are using different formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615275 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 09:38:48 +0000 snowjewelz 2615275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Up &amp; Up! </p> <p>We're probably using all the same things. Whatever I didn't like the first time, I probably switched at some point anyway! I won't switch bottles, etc unless DD2 is struggling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615167 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 22:57:15 +0000 gingerbebe 2615167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't really noticed it - we do the "swirl" thing in the Dr. Brown's bottles and I put some gas drops in the bottle because DS has reflux and gas issues, so maybe that's why? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615159 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 22:07:06 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2615159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: someone told me they thought the Kirkland formula was more bubbly when you mix it. Is it more than the other formulas youve tried? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615118 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 20:42:00 +0000 californiadreams 2615118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mostly the same for diapers, wipes, and pacifiers. I never bought any pouches or baby food last time, but i am thinking about it now to make life easier.</p> <p>i also feel like i bought some little gadgets or products the first time that i am not bothering with this time because i am realizing i never needed them. Examples would be pacifier wipes, portable bottle warmer, some gear i borrowed last time i never borrowed or bought this time (bumbo chair, bouncy chair, exersaucer), and i never even found all the pieces for our jolly jumper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615116 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 20:33:26 +0000 caterw 2615116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used up&amp;up diapers/wipes for DD and supplemented with up&amp;up formula- both were great for us! We are going to try out Kirkland and Aldi brand stuff for baby #2 if it's more cost effective. I rarely get anything brand name unless I have a coupon hahaha. </p> <p>I did feed a lot of organic pouches/ baby snacks and whatnot with DD and I probably won't do that as much with this baby- I'm just gonna use my regular blender for easy baby purees and do more BLW. Baby snacks will probably be just regular Cheerios/ Trader Joe O's since they are cheaper and less sugary than puffs (and I will have them already). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615110 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 20:26:55 +0000 KayKay 2615110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up switching diapers and wipes. But more because I found ones I liked better than to save $$! I also tried one new type of bottle because DD2 went on bottle strike around 3m (but I SAH, so it wasn't a huge priority). She didn't seem to like the new kind any better, so I just stuck with the ones we had instead of trying all of the kinds hoping something would take better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615107 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 20:25:03 +0000 PinkElephant 2615107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the same diapers, different wipes, and DD2 mostly refused bottles/pacis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615106 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 20:24:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 2615106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diapers and wipes, yes- I'm loyal to pampers diapers and love Kirkland wipes. Both breastfed so I guess yes on that too. :) </p> <p>For bottles and pacifiers I had a couple of brands from DD1 already so I tried them both with the baby too. Basically neither of my kids liked bottles much and refused pacifiers. By the second kid I figured it wasn't the brand of bottle that was the problem so didn't want to spend more so she could refuse more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615104 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 20:23:12 +0000 gingerbebe 2615104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkin Pie: We are supplementing with Kirkland with our second and it's been great so far. We even got it when it was on sale and the huge canister was $13.99!</p> <p>We still stick to Pampers however - my husband has a strong preference.</p> <p>We just use Dr. Browns because it's what we used last time but DS2 ended up having reflux too so it was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615099 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 20:19:12 +0000 birdofafeather 2615099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much! Except way more pouches for food this time around! 😳 No time to make my own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-the-same-products-with-each-of-your-kids#post-2615062 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 19:17:44 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2615062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are expecting LO2 in December, and I'm trying to think of all the stuff we'll need to prepare. With LO1 we used pampers newborn diapers, similac formula, tried several different types of bottles, etc. I'm wondering if we should try alternatives to what we used before. Diapers and formula are so expensive! I'm going to try the up &amp; up brand formula this time around. Maybe even the kirkland brand. </p>
