Second baby checklist

Question

Calling ALL Mommies and Daddies with more than one child!!!
What are some of the most essential baby items that you needed with baby #2+
Obviously if there is a gender difference the clothes would have to be different but what else did you put on your checklist/ shopping list to buy before baby comes or wish you did buy before baby comes?
Just need some ideas

Answer

Seriously, though.  
In honesty, I didn't find the jump from 1 to 2 that hard. Have a good sound machine for where baby will nap.

Answer

Depending on the age gap between your children, something to enable you to be handsfree! I didn't have a carrier for my first, but my for second we bought a similar one to this (but in air mesh not cotton) and it was handy for the odd walk to the park or daycare pickup when my second was really little. Also a white noise machine or app for nap times, to disguise background house noise (or in our case, a noisy 2 year old) and allow baby to sleep uninterrupted. Those are the only things I did differently for baby number 2. We have two boys so I had a fair bit of clothing, blankets etc already. But that said, it was interesting as the swaddles my first son liked my second one hated so I had to get different ones. And my second took to a dummy (pacifier) and a different bottle brand so I had to buy those too second time around. I guess my point with that is don't be surprised if baby number 2 isn't the same as your first when it comes to what you already have (like I was, I honestly and naively assumed my second would be the same as my first, completely forgetting all babies are their own little person from the get go 😄)

Answer

Other than the basics (diapers, wipes) and clothes (different gender), we didn’t purchase much. We needed a new monitor (ours didn’t work well anymore) and then doubles of some stuff or replacements of stuff that we don’t have anymore (car mirror, car window cling, night lights, pacifiers, comb, bath washcloths, butt paste, infant medicines). Our second is seven weeks old and we really don’t spend much on her. We kept a lot from our first and I’m actually having a hard time thinking of gift ideas for her come Christmas because we have so much already.

Answer

Second sound machine, double stroller, car seat mirror, add on camera unit for monitor, new pacifiers, haaka, baby book, swaddle set for baby announcement, ring sling. I already have a soft structured carrier. 
I’m also using glass bottles this time around.

This was a must!
