Hopefully, she'll transition into the other room before the next baby comes in April, and she'll be fine with the new baby in her old nursery. We plan to co-sleep for a while, though, so even if takes a year to complete the transition, we should be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-list-for-second-baby#post-2296 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 22:58:25 +0000 erwoo 2296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about a gift to your oldest from your newborn or even from you and your husband? Might make having a new baby a little less stressful for her. Or get matching gifts for both of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-list-for-second-baby#post-1915 Sat, 01 Oct 2011 02:46:44 +0000 looch 1915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A baby book or photo album! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-list-for-second-baby#post-852 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 17:51:34 +0000 geekinheels 852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, guys! We still haven't decided whether we'll be getting a new crib or just a Pack n Play for the BebeDeux...luckily we still have Claire's old bassinet so we still have a bit more time to decide.</p> <p>As for a stroller, we're just going to get a rumble seat for our UppaBaby Vista — that's actually one of the reasons we decided on the Vista, because you can fit more than one child on there!</p> <p>I hadn't thought of breast milk storage bags or vitamin d drops, so thanks for the reminder, Bee! Luckily we still have everything else leftover from Claire, or they could share. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-list-for-second-baby#post-797 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:58:09 +0000 Mrs. Bee 797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm going to keep charlie in his crib as long as possible... at least until 2 1/2. otherwise i have to worry about him wandering around and making mischief!</p> <p>also if you take away their crib, they may get really jealous/possessive to see a new baby in their crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-list-for-second-baby#post-795 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:56:32 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bee, really? you aren't transitioning Charlie in a big boy bed?</p> <p>Actually what Bee has written down seems just about right. But you will need a second crib seeing they are really close in age. I would imagine you'd want a double stroller as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-list-for-second-baby#post-740 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:10:14 +0000 Mrs. Bee 740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a post on this is in my drafts! but this is what i have so far...</p> <p>crib (Charlie will be 22 1/2 months old and still sleeping in his crib)<br /> mattress<br /> 2 waterproof mattress pads<br /> 2 fitted sheets<br /> dresser<br /> glider<br /> double stroller<br /> diaper bag<br /> bath tub (we gave Charlie's away)<br /> new bottles + nipples<br /> pacis (Charlie was never into them)<br /> new pump parts (I threw them away)<br /> breastmilk storage bags<br /> gender specific clothes<br /> size 1 diapers<br /> white noise machine<br /> gripe water, mylicon, vitamin d drops<br /> nursing pads </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-list-for-second-baby#post-724 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 13:27:14 +0000 geekinheels 724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although my husband and I were initially a bit disappointed that we were expecting another girl, one of the biggest upsides is all the money we will save! (And having them just 13 months apart, we still have ALL of Claire's old stuff.)</p> <p>That being said, with less than 6 weeks to go until my due date we really need to start preparing for BebeDeux. At first I thought that we would only need to get an additional carseat (we will get a convertible for Claire and have BebeDeux use Claire's current infant seat) and an extra seat for our stroller, but I'm guessing that this will not be enough?</p> <p>This is the list I have so far:</p> <p>-diapers<br /> -replacement tubing and valves for breast pump<br /> -nursing pads<br /> -new nipples for our bottles<br /> -gripe water</p> <p>Surely that can't be it? Can anyone think of anything else that we might need with BebeDeux? </p>
