I used a lot of the clothes from my 1st baby to my 2nd baby. But I did buy some specific outfits for DD2 and I didn't need to go out and buy newborn singlets and all the small stuff they grow out of quickly. So I mixed it up a bit bought some new but didn't go silly as I had a lot of outfits that were still practically new from DD1, plus I didn't get given any hand-me-downs from any one.
