Baby Shower?

Question

This is my 2nd baby. Another girl! My husband & I have already bought a 3 in 1 play pen, car seat, stroller, bouncer seat, swing & diaper bag. Should we still have a baby shower?

Answer

Yes even if it's just for the pictures and memories and baby clothes

Answer

Absolutely not. My sister in law had a "sprinkle" for her 2nd girl and A LOT of people thought it was tacky. If people want to give you a gift when the baby is born they will.  The only time I think a 2nd shower is ok is when there is a large time gap between children and you have gotten rid of baby stuff.

Answer

Shower for the first one only and that's it.  You shouldn't expect your friends/family to continue to fund your life decisions.

Answer

Like my mom told me there can never be enough pacifiers, diapers, bottles, or wipes. Plus its a celebration and fun more than it is about any gifts.

Answer

I would do a diaper party rather than a full baby shower, if my next baby is the same sex. I already have all his infant clothes, toys, playpen, etc saved, so I don't need more boy stuff, but I will need a ton of diapers. If we had an opposite sex baby, then I might have a regular shower so people could but clothes if they wanted, but still mostly just want diapers... Lol.

It also depends on how long between the babies, if they're many years apart and the baby stuff is donated/sold/gone, then you need everything again. Otherwise it just seems a bit much to ask for more than diapers if you've got it all saved.

Answer

You can never have enough diapers!!!

Answer

If your 2nd is the same sex than I'd say probably not. But if different then maybe. We had a baby shower for our 1st, a lil girl. But we said if baby #2 is a boy then we would have a man shower aka a Beer & Diaper party.

Answer

My daughters will be 5 years 2 months apart. All my 1st daughters baby stuff is long gone aside from baby blankets that we've saved. We've already had family asking if we're going to have a baby shower but I can't quite think of what we need except diapers,wipes,clothes,bottles & maybe a breast pump.

Answer

Have a sprinkle and ask for diapers and such.

Answer

It's up to you. I would if it's been a year or more between babies. Baby showers are fun and some people get annoyed if you don't have one even if you've already bought all your stuff. You can even put on the invite "small gifts only please" so no one buys you double, though many include a gift receipt so you can return it if some one bought off registry.
