Second time - when to break out the newborn gear

Dana

Hi mamas.

Need advice from parents who've had a second (or more!) child. I'm just about 30 weeks. I don't want to be underprepared but I'm struggling if it's too early to start setting up all the baby gear (bassinet, swing, diaper station, etc). When is it normal to get everything set up for baby #2? By this time with my first we had the crib and nursery at least mostly ready to go if not 100%. We are using all of our old stuff except we do need a new crib for baby and a monitor system because she'll be in a different room. What would you advise?
