What did you buy for second baby and what did you reuse?
I’m 24 weeks pregnant with #2 (our second girl) and my daughter will be a little over 2 when she’s born. We kept all our baby gear from our first and we won’t have to worry about clothes; however, I’m feeling anxious and guilty because I realized I have purchased so many additional things over the past few months including:
-City Select (bought second hand) because we need a double stroller for at least a little bit.
-New infant car seat/bases- Our old one wasn’t compatible with any double strollers. Plus it was cheap and started getting stuck in the base.
- Bassinet (second hand- but never used) because we didn’t have a bassinet with my first and I think it would have been helpful in the beginning.
- Lovevery play gym (second hand)- we have a play gym already, but my daughter didn’t care for it so I wanted to give this one a try.
- Activity center (second hand)- another thing we already have, but I really like this one better. 🙊 We are giving the old one to my in-laws who will watch her so hopefully that’s justified. 🤷♀️
- High Chair (new)- I wasn’t planning on replacing ours, but there was an amazing sale on the newer/smaller version of the one we have. 🤦♀️ We also plan on giving our old one to my in-laws because theirs is so hard for them to clean.
We are reusing:
Swings, pack n plays, bouncers, crib, bathtub, changing pad, baby carriers, clothes, accessories, etc.
Did I go totally overboard? I just feel guilty because we already had most of the stuff we needed (with the exception of the stroller and bassinet), that people bought us for my first, but I wanted to upgrade some of the things I wasn’t that happy with.
What did you replace and what did you reuse for your kids?
