Any second time mums (or more) feel overwhelmed with the things you have to buy for your baby?

Question

My first child is 4, and I do have some clothes saved up but I have nothing else. We can’t have a baby shower because we live miles away (different country) from our families and tbh they don’t care that much. Just the thought of having to start over with things is giving me anxiety!!!

Answer

Lots of great second hand options to choose from these days.
Last year I had a friend who post on Facebook asking friends if they had baby items laying around people wanted to donate or sell.  She got a HUGE response and a ton of things for free or next to nothing.  Some friends even loaned her things for a month or two...  
It was a great way to save money

Answer

I definitely feel that way. I am 35 weeks pregnant with #4 but currently our “baby” is 11 1/2 (12 in November). We were 100% done after her and saved absolutely nothing so we started from scratch. I think one of the best things to keep in mind is that newborns don’t actually *need* a whole lot & to keep in mind the difference between a want and a need! Good luck!!

Answer

Crib & mattress $110 on Facebook
Diaper bag $20 on Facebook (an older jujube!)
Diapers $275 on Facebook
Gender neutral clothes $80 at thrift store
Ring sling (I splurged!) $125 
Rag quilt fabric $30 (using what I already had)
Disposable diapers and bath stuff $30
The only thing left I need to get is a baby monitor and a coat that will work for maternity and babywearing. I found a coat extender so I can wear my pre pregnancy stuff. It's getting chilly here already and is quite cool in the mornings, I expect snow before babe is born in November.

Answer

1. Look for furniture and stuff at target that has been returned! It’s usually like 80% off brand new because they dont carry it.
3. Fall clothes should be about to go on sale because winter clothes roll out the day after fall starts!! ( so on and so forth with all seasons) 
4. Write your favorite company for coupons! Playtext sends me coupons for bottles and stuff!

Answer

Yes I had a girl last September and now I’m having a boy due February so I have to buy everything again as everything I have is pink 😂

Answer

Yes, I had my boys some time ago they are 10 and 6 now. We didn't think we would have another baby so had nothing at all for this baby, and I've spent soo much!
