My cousin is going to a garage sale tomorrow that's advertising a lot of baby stuff and wants to know if I want anything...I am registering for a lot of new things, but what do you 2nd time mom's recommend getting 2 of (to keep at Grandma's house, or to just have 2 of around the house?)
Thanks!
Pin me baby!

Re: What would you recommend having 2 of?
-Well, lots of clothes is great! You can never have enough. I made sure I was stucked from 0-12 months.
-More than one boppy would be good.
-Bottle warmer
-Pack&Play
-Diaper changing stuff, one of those pads, perhaps a diaper holder thiny...
-Toys
The things I keep there are: playpen, diapers, wipes, extra clothes and pajamas, bottle/sippy, and some toys.

This Momma's Journey
~Today I am pregnant and I love my baby~
I'm making sure that I have a mattress pad/protector and crib sheets at my mom's. My parents are going to be watching the baby when I go back to work. I also want them to have diapers, wipes, extra clothes, pacifiers so I don't have to pack a huge diaper bag every time I drop him off. I also want them to have a carseat and swing or bouncy seat.
anything activity related (examples: swing, bouncy seat, exersaucer, toys)
pack-n-play (would never buy a used crib at a yard sale)
booster seat or very small high chair which can be put away when baby isn't there
swing
carseat base
pack n play
highchair
I loved having two pack'n'plays. I had a two story house and kept one of them on the main level. I used it for naps and I also used the changing station rather than going upstairs each time. then when we went somewhere I didn't have to dissasemble the thing I just too our second one with us.
DD is at both grandma's houses a couple days a week since we work. Both grandma's have a pack and play for her to nap in, high chair, swing (she would only nap in this for the first 5 months), bouncer, activity table, various toys and books. We always keep them stocked with diapers, wipes, extra clothing.
We bring a diaper bag each day filled with her small favorite toys and books from home, outfit for the day, her favorite lovey and blanket, and her bottles, solids, and snacks.
It makes it so nice that they have all of this stuff when we have family get togethers on the weekends too. Both grandma's also have baby monitors too which come in handy since they have larger houses.
