Our second child was another daughter but we weren't aware we were having another girl. Before she arrived we bought:
- a (Maxi Cosi) capsule. Didn't have one with DD1 and so wish we did!
- a new pram, the City Select so DD1 could still ride in the pram and we could connect the capsule at the same time.
- a bassinet. We borrowed our first one and it was tiny. DD2 was in our Boori bassinet for just over 4 months
- big girls bedroom suite for DD1
- a new monitor for DD1
- another sling
- summer neutral 0000 onesies as DD1 was a winter bub
I bought extra bibs and spew rags once DD2 arrived. DD1 wansn't a chucker at all so the supplies we had for her didn't cut it at all. You may get a non-chucker this time so I'd hold off on the bibs. They were a total waste with DD1.
Taurean - don't get my hopes up with the thought of a non-chucker lol. I was bad as a baby, as was DH. DH's sis was apparently the worst in their family and my DD was apparently way worse than that. Can I really hope to go from one extreme to the other? I'll take your advice though and only buy a few bibs to begin with. I was always so jealous of bubs who didn't always have their outfits covered with bibs.
i had to buy heaps of bibs for #2 (chucker), but hardly used them for #1. you might be ok with #2.
i bought a totally overpriced sophie giraffe for #2, on a day when i felt bad for him only getting hand me downs. and i missed out with #1 when every other kid had one.
- A craddle and new mattress (borrowed one last time)
- Bedding for the above
- MCN's (used sposies last time)
- 0000 clothes (borrowed them last time and DD was wearing them for about 4 weeks)
- New stroller with capsule (DD is starting school next year & I thought this would be the easiest way to carry bubs)
- Some more muslin wraps - DD was a winter baby so I had heavier blankets
- Some wall decals
- Nappy bag - the one I had for DD the zip broke
- Bibs
- I want a sling but haven't purchased yet
I've kept alot of DD stuff & if this baby is a girl then I won't need to buy much at all.
Love the idea of different winter and summer wardrobes. Don't you need jumpers for all the family all year round? I have jumpers, bodysuits, trousers and sleepsuits in all sizes. There were days when Liebs needed them all. Then the next day it was a nappy with a muslin cloth over him in the pushchair (too hot for a wrap). And it's coooooold at night. Baking hot day today, jumpers ce soir.
