#2 - What to Buy?

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Oh thanks BG will let you know her sizes as she goes if we are lacking on clothes.. your an angel.

Hadn't thought of the big sister love factor but we have a portacot i could put up and #2 could lay and play in there if i need to leave the room, well aslong as A doesn't try and pull it ontop of herself to get in... lol
Maybe a small old school wooden play pen or something would do the trick otherwise.

Hmm never thought of that, any lovely ladies have any issues with this and what did you use to keep #2 safe from the older kids attention?

couple of my baby buddies have commented on it - things like the older child trying to offer toys and covering the baby's face. nothing major happened, but it made me think of the importance of making sure you can keep them seperated while you're not there to supervise (and as good as you are - you'll have to leave them - damn that bladder lol)

i would probably think play pen more so than portacot - i think it would work better and A would be less likely to try and drag it over...

any other hints... not long left now

[yummymummy]

wow this is a good thread as you're also having kiddies close together like me - i didn't even think of a portcot or playpen in case i have to leave the room!! such an awesome suggestion!!

I still need some hints!

We bought a babylove tandem pram off e-bay for $136 and it's in MINT condition, so easy to fold and is only the size of my single pram which means I DON'T HAVE TO SELL MY CAR.. well we think

Also SIL has said we can use her old turn-a-tot which is great means DD will keep hers and Z can have one aswell, then we can just upgrade once A is to big for hers etc etc.

If we get this house we are looking at buying i will need safety gates for the stairs which we don't have now which means i can section A off from Z, i can leave Z in the lounge and A can follow me around with the safety gate locked!

So what else do i need?

a sling i think is a must for a newborn with a toddler.

Remember 1 year olds poke at babies eyes... lol my friend always complains of her kids doing this.

Goodluck with the new bubba

Hehe yeah DD has a thing about eyes and noses at the moment.
I was lucky i was given a ring sling by my cousin who's friend makes them, just gotta figure out how to use it properly... lol

Decided we will get a tallboy now and her bookshelf with baby bonus money, will wash clothes as soon as i have the tallboy.

Any other suggestions?

*need to pack my hosp bag still - hmm*
