I figured you never know what will happen with baby #2. We may decide to not have another...or baby #2 might end up being the same gender. Most big purchase items end up being pretty much gender neutral anyway (swing, bouncer, high chair). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56852 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:49:11 +0000 Rescuemom10 56852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have wondered about this too. Even though we are not PG yet. But I think I would try to do mainly gender nuetral for a lot of things. I think gear and what not esp. Crib bedding and clothes I think I would be OK with going more gender specific. We will see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56830 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:25:31 +0000 Rubies 56830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our stroller, high chair, crib and other furniture are gender neutral but every thing else is girly (LO is a girl)...If/when we have #2 and it turns out to be a boy, then we'll buy boy things and give/sell the girl stuff (assuming we're just having two babies). New baby new things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56780 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:29:02 +0000 Mrsbells 56780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we arent having a registry but we are trying to buy neutral stuff. The baby tub we bought came in both blue and pink but we chose the blue one even though we are having a girl because blue just seems more neutral than pink </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56779 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:26:31 +0000 lavender 56779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I registered for all gender neutral items. I figured she won't know the difference between a yellow or a pink towel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56772 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:18:27 +0000 BananaPancakes 56772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also going gender neutral on everything but clothes and some nursery items. I just prefer more neutral items, anyways, but I also think it's important to be able to reuse them later if needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56620 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:13:22 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 56620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gone gender-neutral on most things, but that's just what I like regardless. The only thing I can envision buying new would be some clothes and maybe crib sheets/burp cloths and such. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56518 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:12:56 +0000 looch 56518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd get them all new for a new baby. I didn't buy tons of linens for my son, but after a year, they do look worn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56514 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:01:56 +0000 cyneswith 56514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go gender neutral on those things too. My brother and I shared a room until I was 3. However, he had a special quilt (from our great-grandma) that was ALWAYS on his bed, and his bed only. So a quilt was about the only thing that wasn't handed down to me as a toddler. I even got his Superman PJs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56512 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:54:25 +0000 SAHM0811 56512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Re: hooded towels and washcloths... DD #1 still uses hers from when she was a baby! She's almost 4 yo now, but the towels we got her were from Dwell Studio and they are huge. So those are hers and will always be hers til she transitions to our regular stash of "adult" towels (no idea when that is... still a few years from now). So yeah, DD#2's registry included new towels for her to use and those will always be hers. For pack n play sheets, if you have a gender neutral pack n play, then just get matching gender neutral sheets? Since you're having a boy first though, I wouldn't worry too much about a girl using blue sheets later on... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56507 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:30:26 +0000 Boogs 56507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to register for mostly gender neutral stuff. At the end of the day, we don't use the pack and play and ton so the sheets don't get worn at all. As for washcloths and towels, I say get what you like. I'm sure a girl would be just fine being washed with a blue washcloth and tried with a truck towel. ;) Depending on the spacing on your kids, if your boy is in a toddler bed, he would likely still be using his sheets, so baby #2 might need a couple of their own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56500 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:17:56 +0000 heffalump 56500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I were to go back in time, I'd do gender neutral for most things. All those little things add up and if I have a boy next I'm in trouble. But I feel like most boy things are gender neutral so you'll be fine. You an put a girl in blue, but you can't put a boy in pink. According to society at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56491 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 12:41:11 +0000 MegWag 56491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I figure when they're babies, cute is cute. I'm not too hung up on the "gender" of stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-registry-when-you-plan-on-having-more-kids#post-56488 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 12:14:27 +0000 winniebee 56488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We know that baby Winnie is a boy (yay!) and for all of our major gear (stroller, carseat, bundleme, boppy cover, pack n play) I plan on getting gender neutral stuff so that we can use it again. Clothing and bedding we'll get special for our little guy. But what about things like hooded towels, washcloths, pack n play sheets....are these things you would go gender neutral with? Or will these items be so worn out by the time #2 comes around that you would purchase new anyways?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
