? for moms of older kids

What is a product or baby item that is out now that you wish you had when your child was born?

Backstory: My cousins wife just had their 4th child. It's their first girl and the first girl grandchild out of 7 boys. Yes, my aunt had 3 boys and then between them they had 7 boys. So needless to say this girl is going to be spoiled. Anyway, my aunt is throwing a shower this weekend since my cousins oldest son is 7 and they need some girly items. I was thinking of buying a space saver highchair, but if I can't find a girl pattern, I need something else to fall back on.  I figured something she didn't get 7 years ago for her first childs shower would be nice since I'm pretty sure there is going to be an influx of cute girly clothes.

  • The Rock N Play sleeper.  Man, I wish I had one with Aiden.  It was a godsend with Claire.  And I do believe there's a girlie pattern.

  • I second the rock n play sleeper, that is something that wasn't around when D1 was born.  I don't have one for D2 but she's a belly sleeper so it woudln't have worked for us.

    I would buy her clothes though - with 3 boys, I'm sure her house is full of stuff.  She's going to be excited about girly clothes, so I would buy them.  I would just buy bigger sizes.

  • I'll definitely buy an outfit or two, but wanted to get something that was a little splurge. All the toys they have are boy related and anything "new" is from their youngest and he is 3.

  • I was going to say the rock n play sleeper too. We actually didn't have one, but I heard great things about it.

    Absolutely.

     There is a girly butterfly pattern of the Space Saver high chair, we have it.
