Hi I just found out i'm pregnant with 2nd bub. Been thinking about what i would need to get for this one but i can't really come up with much. Is there anything obvious that people found they needed to get for the 2nd one?
Also, my other "baby" will be 14 months when this one is born, is it too early for her to go into a normal bed with a cot side thingy put on?
Thanks for any advice
Hi
My "baby" will be 17months when #3 is due and i got another cot because i didnt want to lose the day sleeps which is what happened when i put #1 into a big bed...i know lots of ppl who put toddler into a big bed early and its been fine. dd is 13months now and i wouldnt like her in a big bed because she likes to dive off the couch...the steps...our bed lol
oh have you thought about prams does the one you have have a toddler seat...sorry i cant help you out there i still cant decide which pram im going to get lol
MY DS1 was 22 months with DS2 was born - i moved him intoa bed at 18 months...
You could prob buy some time using abasinetter for baby until your older one is old enough to move?
I bought a 2nd monitor and also a few things i didnt have with DS1 that i wished i did
I also got a new nappy stacker so i could keep nappies seperate on the chg table
I foind i needed to organise things lke vhg table, nappy bag etc a lot more to keep things seperate
I also got a good sling so i can carry DS2 and push DS1 in a stroller
And I just bought a great double pram whvih is a lifesaver (I got a mountain buggy)
I am going through same thing at present.
Bed vs cot is hard call!!
I need to order toddler seat for pram. ANd Maxi rider for DS so that baby can have his reversable seat.
I have 3 different slings!
And have only ordered 4 all in 1 suits online.
Thanks for your replies. A few things were brought up that i didn't think of. Table for one - i didn't even click that DD will still be in nappies!! :nappy:Unless she miraculously becomes toilet trained by then - yeah right! I have a phil and teds sport so a pram is easy, i'll just get the double kit. That was the plan with the pram all along but just not this soon.
I have vaguely thought about car seat issues. I have a seat that goes from newborn to ??18kg so i guess i should get DD a new one and give bub the current one.
Oh well at least i have a few months to think about and save for these things.
you'll be surprised how few things you do need to get for the 2nd one... all the big items you already have (and lots of things you have worked out you dont need!!)
