I’m kinda bummed to see that so many people are unaware that biodegradable, toxin free diapers exist. They are better for the planet AND our babies. Please check out Andy Pandy diapers on Amazon ASAP. They are made of bamboo and they don’t contain toxic ingredients. They have a wetness strip so you can see when the diaper is wet and needs to be changed. These are the only diapers I will ever use on my kids.

Great blog! My list consists of a 2nd humidifier, a double jogger ( kids will be 17 months apart), princess potty, a 2nd monitor ( prefer video this time around for the older child and then give hers to baby), a 2nd sound machine, diapers, wipes, potty training pants, toddler mattress and convertible crib, and a hospital grade thermometer. Pretty simple since we have a baby already and haven’t got rid of anything except a swing which we won’t need 2nd time around.

In reply to Emily. Oh for sure!! Double strollers are awesome, especially for kids close in age (I had twins first, so I started with a double stroller).

Depending on the age spread, a double stroller can come in handy. My kids are 11 months apart, and I’m not sure how I would survive without my double stroller.

In reply to Jessica. OH! Yes! Those things always seem to get gunked up and moldy and stop working far too fast.

I’m a second-time mom-to-be, and one thing I’ll also need is an extra humidifier!

Loved reading this post! My husband and I are trying for our second baby, so fingers crossed this will be me soon. I agree with everything on your list. I know the most important will be diapers. I also have a bassinet on my list, and something for carrying around baby with me during the day while I work.

In reply to Wendy. I agree! It is really nice when people do sprinkles, or even just diaper parties for those second (or fifth) babies. Every bit helps.

We’re due w/ our 5th in 7 weeks. My teen daughter and a friend are hosting a “sprinkle” for me since it’s been about 6 years since I’ve done this newborn gig! 🙂 I’ve asked for consumables like baby laundry detergent, baby wash and diaper rash cream as well as a new temporal thermometer. I also specified that I’m cool w/ gently used items. My SIL has loaned me her bassinet and a bouncy seat and family has been shopping at thrift stores for little clothes. Having been there-done that, I’m just thrilled to get some of the things we need again!

I’m so thankful that I am past the having a baby stage. Really. I usually give diaper, wipes and something personal when I ‘m giving a baby gift. Congratulations to you my friend.

In reply to Katie @ Clarks Condensed. Parties are always fun! I didn't go into the party idea too much for second time moms (post for another day?) but things like a diaper party are awesome! Or getting pampered with other ladies, or a simple lunch where people can gift you some needed things, are really great.

These are all great ideas! I’m not a second-time mom yet, but I think you are definitely right on – especially diapers. And I totally think it’s fun/fine to give a baby shower for subsequent babies – maybe just on a different scale (maybe just going out to lunch with your girlfriends, or a diaper shower? I just like parties. haha)
