What did you buy for your second (or subsequent) baby?

At least I don't feel so much like I'm forgetting something then. I was worried my list was too small. Everything on there are things we no longer hav (Eg DD killed a few bottle teats).

Car seat
Bassinet - not ready to move DD out of the cot and afraid of cosleeping not working again
A dozen extra Nappies because DD will probably still be in naps by then.

I remember feeling exactly the same when DS' arrival was imminent (of course I had to update some clothes as the sex/season and in the end size was different).

lol However with our little Miss DD2's arrival, we had to start all over again so everything is new for her - even the car.

A Close Carrier
An Ergo
A capsule as I never bothered with one for our first, and he was in his original car seat still anyway
New clothes as my first was a winter baby and our second was born in summer
Some more MCNs as I had two in nappies at that stage

Before he was born I got a new pram that the capsule could attach to and could also take a second seat for the two year old. Next to the carriers it was the best purchase we made.

As time has gone on we have bought a single bed for our eldest so we could swap bub over to the cot, we also upgraded his car seat when bub grew out of the capsule, so now bub is in the older convertible seat.

We really only bought a few things

• Ergo - I also got the newborn insert. The toddler actually gets carried in it (on my back) more than the newborn at this stage and the baby stays in the pram, they both seem to prefer it that way, and I dont have to worry about losing DS if he's on my back
• We bought a capsule for the car (that actually fits our existing pram system), I figured it would be easier to keep the baby sleeping while moving in and out of the car and looking out for the toddler - its made life A LOT easier than trying to resettle the baby after waking them when getting out of the car seat.
• Clothes (we had a girl this time, but even if we'd had another boy I would have bought a few special items that we just for the new baby)
• I bought new bottles for EBM
• New spew rags (old style cloth nappies) as the others were washed out
• New Bibs (same)
