Hi Willow,

I would keep it too. Like some of the other girls have suggested, I would put it away in a safe place for now and decide what you want to do with it when your next little bub comes along. When the time comes, you will know what feels right for you.

We went through a similar thing after our first baby passed away. We had bought everything in preparation for her arrival and had set up her room. We then had to pack it all up again and put it all away after she was gone. We did keep it all though and when we were awaiting the arrival of our second baby we got it all back out. It was very hard to bring out all the things that we had bought for her, but once our son was born and we got to use the cot, pram, etc, it was - like you said - a wonderful feeling putting him in them. It was a dream realised.

I think you've done the right thing. You don't need to rush into any decisions now. When the time comes your heart will tell you if you can use it again.
