Cooking is the last thing you want to do but with an older sibling needing to be fed you kinda have to make sure meals are on the table. I was also thankful for our Amazon Prime subscription. Free two day shipping came in handy for ordering anything from nipple cream to diapers in the early days when a trip out is overwhelming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-the-essentials-you-stocked-up-on-before-baby-2#post-2164502 Fri, 01 May 2015 20:14:27 +0000 FannyMae 2164502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>other than the baby essentials I definitely stocked up the bigger/heavier things that are a pain to lug back from groceries - I just stored things in the garage until needed.</p> <p>toilet paper &amp; paper towel for the kitchen, napkins.<br /> dish detergent/laundry powders/dishwasher tabs<br /> any bottled drinks/cans<br /> shampoo/conditioner/soap/toothpaste/mouthwash.</p> <p>the stuff you always run out of last minute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-the-essentials-you-stocked-up-on-before-baby-2#post-2164500 Fri, 01 May 2015 20:11:56 +0000 MrsStar 2164500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-the-essentials-you-stocked-up-on-before-baby-2#post-2164486 Fri, 01 May 2015 19:47:28 +0000 ktdid23 2164486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: yes!

All stuff that we go through so quickly that I sometimes don't realize we need it till it's too late. And the paper plates are a maternity leave indulgence. I hate doing dishes and instead, we have to wash all the bottle parts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-the-essentials-you-stocked-up-on-before-baby-2#post-2164478 Fri, 01 May 2015 19:42:47 +0000 cmomma17 2164478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diapers, wipes (should have bought way more!), infant Tylenol, diaper pail liners, nursing pads, and stain remover for laundry!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-the-essentials-you-stocked-up-on-before-baby-2#post-2164458 Fri, 01 May 2015 19:22:29 +0000 Tidybee 2164458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going through all of my stuff from DD tomorrow to see what I still need...so I'll let you know! Right now my list is: new nipples and liners (playtex drop-ins), onesies and socks, new infant medications and "toiletries", pads for me, nursing tanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-the-essentials-you-stocked-up-on-before-baby-2#post-2164451 Fri, 01 May 2015 19:18:07 +0000 Ash 2164451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: socks!

She said too many things take batteries and with 2 kids, they might as well buy stock in Duracell, ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-the-essentials-you-stocked-up-on-before-baby-2#post-2164429 Fri, 01 May 2015 18:16:20 +0000 Ash 2164429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-the-essentials-you-stocked-up-on-before-baby-2#post-2163975 Fri, 01 May 2015 12:10:43 +0000 Ash 2163975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With lo#2 due to arrive early next month, I'm thinking of the things we should be stocking up on. So far, I'm thinking diapers (for both kids), wipes, baby washes &amp; lotions, and pads. Any other things you suggest we start picking up so we're ready? </p>
