I had also ditched our old baby tub so got a new one.</p> <p>Because I was SAH then (as opposed to work FT with LO1), I wanted a handful more toys -- some of those soft/crinkly books, etc. Basically a few select things that LO1 played a lot with at daycare!</p> <p>Because LO2 was a winter baby vs LO1 in early spring, I also bought a lined carseat cover, a 3-6m bunting (to make sure it fit all winter!), some zutano booties, and a couple pair of footie pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-for-baby-number-2-same-sex-different-season#post-2604745 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 12:20:56 +0000 brownepiano 2604745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same thing but I had my winter baby first and my summer baby second. </p> <p>-A seasonally appropriate blanket (DS 1 has fleece I had to buy muslin for DS 2- you might have the opposite problem)<br /> -Same thing with swaddles/sleep sacks for the first 6-9 months.<br /> -New bibs (I realized when my mom gave me a new one that the old ones were pretty gross and stained)<br /> -Winter clothes/hats/socks<br /> -new wet bag and some new covers<br /> -baby bath wash for sensitive/dry skin (at this point we are just using whatever for our toddler but winter babies tend to need more moisture)<br /> -baby toothbrush </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-for-baby-number-2-same-sex-different-season#post-2604512 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 08:26:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 2604512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: I also had 2 girls (opposite seasons October and March.) I would register for more white onesies (hand me downs get so dingy), burb clothes, new bottles/nipples, new sippy cups (food storage containers, ect.), we replaced wash cloths and needed a new monitor. My mom bought us a double stroller as well. </p> <p>Honestly gift cards is what most of our family gave us with a new outfit. It was still nice to have some new things to put #2 in. (and if you are anything like due to opposite seasons you'll be buying new.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-for-baby-number-2-same-sex-different-season#post-2604465 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 06:15:54 +0000 NorthStar 2604465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I created a private registry mainly to keep track of a few things I wanted to buy or if someone asks: cover from covered goods, new bathtub (prior one got nasty), solly wrap (some kind of carrier will be necessary w two kids), lillebaby carrier, boon lawn (prior bottle dryer is gross), and a few fun things, like a teether necklace for me to wear, a new toy or two for the baby. I had a hard time since we are team green, but figured it was ok spoiling this baby too! I know that we both went through a lot to get here.</p> <p>I liked the babylist site for registry as I could add from anywhere. Other things:</p> <p>Zutano booties for winter<br /> Hanna Anderson has a few cute hats and warm socks<br /> New wet bag and diaper pail liner from planet wise<br /> New cloth wipes for diapering<br /> New washcloths for baby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-for-baby-number-2-same-sex-different-season#post-2604455 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 05:46:46 +0000 Alba4 2604455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We registered for a baby swing (we didn't have one with DS1), ergo insert, hooded towel, new bedding, and a monitor. My best friends bought the swing. I bought a lot off the registry just for the discount. If we have gotten any gifts (much fewer the second time around) it has been clothing or books. One colleague sent an A&amp;A Dream Blanket, which is awesome for when DS2 is older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-for-baby-number-2-same-sex-different-season#post-2604452 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 05:39:33 +0000 ValentineMommy 2604452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the exact same situation a year ago (cept they're boys). We were NOT able to reuse clothes until just now (he's a year and in 24m clothes), so we needed clothes, although we didn't know that until after he was born.</p> <p>We registered for a second monitor, a double stroller, a new (convertible) carseat, a baby seat (we hated DS1's bumbo), and a bunch of little stuff.</p> <p>Was there anything that you didn't like with DD1? You could replace it with something else? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-for-baby-number-2-same-sex-different-season#post-2604386 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 20:26:25 +0000 PinkElephant 2604386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about some seasonal items (bunting/snowsuit, warm hats, cozy booties) in the tiniest sizes? Or a BundleMe for the stroller/car seat? Winter cover for the carrier if you baby wear? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-for-baby-number-2-same-sex-different-season#post-2604349 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 19:01:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2604349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same situation here, same sex, different season. Luckily I have been able to use a lot of the same clothes and only bought a few summer rompers because I wanted them. I was given a few fleece sleep and plays in size 0-3 which was also nice (December baby). </p> <p>Things that we bought or were given for our second:<br /> New monitor (could have added a camera but we didn't like ours anyway so mil got us a whole new one with two cameras)<br /> A&amp;A blankets- dd1 was very attached to hers and I didn't want to take them from her plus I wanted the new baby to have something new<br /> More burp cloths- a lot of them got really gross<br /> Second seat for our stroller (ub vista)<br /> New consumables like diaper cream, saline spray for nose, infant Tylenol,<br /> New hooded towel (dd1 still uses hers) </p> <p>Most of these weren't total necessities but it was nice to have some new things for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-for-baby-number-2-same-sex-different-season#post-2604343 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 18:54:01 +0000 GreenThumb 2604343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sapphire: I did add a few packs of newborn diapers, but we mostly cloth diaper, so we don't even need a lot of those! Food is a great idea, but most family/friends aren't local enough.</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: I agree - we don't actually need anything! But I know we will get gifts anyhow, so I think my mom wanted to steer people away from even more baby girl clothes :wink: .</p> <p>@agold: Yes, we don't totally need it, but it might be nice to have some new sheets. Good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-for-baby-number-2-same-sex-different-season#post-2604289 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:45:51 +0000 agold 2604289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about new crib bedding? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-for-baby-number-2-same-sex-different-season#post-2604288 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:45:36 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2604288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't need anything, people were really generous with our first.</p> <p>Ours were close in age so we did buy a double stroller and another car seat but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-for-baby-number-2-same-sex-different-season#post-2604285 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:44:36 +0000 sapphire 2604285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might just ask her to tell people to bring a pack of diapers or some food :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-for-baby-number-2-same-sex-different-season#post-2604265 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:23:54 +0000 GreenThumb 2604265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are very, very excited to be pregnant with DD2! I'm working on a very basic registry since we have most of the gear, but (I suppose luckily :silly: ) I'm having a hard time adding much to the list. A lot of boring stuff like diapers, wipes, burp cloths, pacifiers, etc. Can you help me think of some more "fun" things for people to buy that you needed the second time around? We don't need clothes because we will get back all of DD1's plus more from my sister. Only maybe issue is DD2 will be a December baby and DD1 was June, so they are opposite seasons.</p> <p>Note: We aren't having a sprinkle or anything like that, but my mom really wanted me to register so she can direct friends and family who ask her what we need. </p>
