I also loved the less practical gifts we were given (fancier clothes etc) because I'm frugal and practical by nature so I didnt buy a lot of that stuff.</p> <p>My Mum also gave us a lovely blue merino blanket which was nice because it was something that belonged just to our wee guy and again couldn't be flogged by his sister... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2415076 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 18:30:37 +0000 gracecat 2415076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes the most useful stuff was things not for baby but for me - food and books for me to read at the hospital or stuck at home with the newborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2415071 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 18:06:33 +0000 hellobeeboston 2415071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>New blankets, diapers, meals, zutano booties! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2415058 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 17:28:21 +0000 Mama Bird 2415058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a toss-up between the Razberry teether, a hooded bath towel, and a blanket. Everything else pretty much got handed down, but we'd lost all of DS's teethers, and didn't have a girly towel or blanket in our stash of baby stuff. Age appropriate warm clothes were also very welcome, because the kids were born in different seasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2415046 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 17:15:53 +0000 mrsrain 2415046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, as a second-time mom-to-be I would LOVE anyone who showed up with food for my freezer! That and maybe something for pampering myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2414953 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 14:57:14 +0000 Applesandbananas 2414953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently bought a friend bath supplies for her second. Some new hooded towels, some Johnson &amp; Johnson baby lavender soap and shampoo, and a few other small grooming things, I think like a new set of baby nail clippers, etc. just practical things that get worn out or used up between kiddos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2414918 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 14:05:47 +0000 ktdid23 2414918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diapers and wipes. But really, freezer meals. My sister brought me 2 weeks worth of meals or parts of meals for the freezer. Between those meals and pantry things like pasta, I didn't have to think about dinner for a month. </p> <p>We also received so many diapers and wipes that I haven't had to buy diapers (besides boxes were I had a ton of coupons and it made sense) and my son is 9 months old now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2414914 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 13:58:19 +0000 MrsSRS 2414914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A freezer full of stouffers. Not something I would have bought, but my aunt showed up with a giant box of freezer waffles, a gallon of ice cream, and a bunch of frozen family size casseroles. They were delicious. Onesies in multiple sizes are nice too. Then infancy stage disappears faster with a second baby so I was really prepared for that stage, but now I suddenly have a giant, mobile baby I need to clothe. Having a few outfits in each size to get me through until I could shop was so helpful on the days I suddenly realized LO2s clothes were snug! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2414900 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 12:57:40 +0000 knittylady 2414900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boppy lounger!

Haha that's easy enough! Maybe not "heartfelt" but hey - practical is good too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2414779 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 09:32:40 +0000 MamaBehr 2414779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diapers/wipes and anything mom might need after baby (nipple cream/breast pads/ pedicure with you) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2414776 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 09:28:51 +0000 matador84 2414776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diapers and tons of food.

I have a friend that had diaper showers, and didn't have to buy diapers until her baby was 5 months old. That sounds magical! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2414745 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 08:47:09 +0000 travelgirl1 2414745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diapers.

I would've killed for that! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2414716 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 07:30:05 +0000 bushelandapeck 2414716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a lot of post-partum stuff like nipple cream, snacks, water bottle, lotion, etc and I thought that was really nice. My mom friends also put together a meal train for us so that I didn't end up having to cook for the first 3 weeks after we got home. That was probably the most amazing thing I received. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-what-is-the-best-gift-you-received-for-your-second-baby#post-2414712 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 07:19:11 +0000 wrkbrk 2414712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello!</p> <p>We are throwing a "sprinkle" for a friend who is pregnant with her second baby (different sex). I wanted to get her a small gift even though we are not really doing gifts at the get-together. </p> <p>What was the most useful thing you received for your second child? I am kind of stuck ...</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>ETA: I have already set aside some newborn clothes my son has grown out of for her since she only has girl stuff! </p>
