Do you have double items in both rooms?

crysbena · September 2011

I'm trying to figure out if I need two gliders/chairs. I nursed DD a lot in the glider and we use it daily for storytime. Do I need one for both rooms or do you not use it with your older child?

What do you have double of in each room to make your life easier?

We ended up getting a second glider. We still use DS1's daily for reading/snuggle time before bed...I just couldn't take it out of his room, so we got another.

We pretty much have 2 of everything -- 2 cribs, 2 gliders, 2 changing pads (on dressers, not changing tables), etc. DS1 isn't ready for a toddler bed yet, so we knew we'd need another crib.

I don't have 2 of anything. DS1 is still in his crib, DS2 is in the cradle we had for DS1 when we lived in a 1bdrm apt. Changing table moved to baby's room since DS1 STTN and can just get changed in the baby's room now during the day. Rocker is in baby's room. When DS1 is ready for the crib I'm thinking he'll get it and we'll buy DS1 a toddler bed or a small twin.

We did get a 2nd glider.

We moved the nice one into #2's room and got a cheap one at a garage sale that I re-covered for the older child's room.

We read stories in their rooms every night and STILL use both of the chairs as we alternate rooms. I've also been beyond grateful to have a chair in each room on nights when one of them was sick and needed Mommy cuddles.

I didn't get a 2nd changing pad because I could easily change #1 on the floor at that point.

2nd crib = best money I've ever spent.

We got a second Poang (I prefer it to the glider which we actually moved downstairs and rarely use - we're going to sell it as soon as our families are done visiting with this little one and we don't need as much seating). Other than that and dressers, we don't have double of anything. We moved DS to an IKEA small bed at 18 months so his crib is empty now and just waiting for DD who will move from the cosleeper to the crib between 1 and 6 months. We only change DS on the floor now so DD's room gets the changing table.

DS just turned 2 and DD is 2 weeks.

We converted our guest bedroom into DS's big boy room and left the baby room intact, so we didn't bother moving our rocker recliner or anything. We had a regular rocking chair in the living room that didn't get much use out there, so we moved that to DS's new room. We got a second crib...DS is definitely not ready to move to a toddler or regular bed. We got a dresser for DS's new room but didn't get one that we could put a changing pad on like in the baby room. Instead, we'll just change him in the baby room when we can and when we can't we'll use the floor in his room. I bought DS a fabric bin (that can later be used in his closet or for toys) to put diaper changing supplies in for his room.
