Baby #2 arriving next month. What do I need?

This baby is arriving in 3-4 weeks and we haven't done anything yet! Haven't washed anything, haven't bought anything, haven't set anything up! DS and DS#2 will be exactly 2 yrs apart and the same sex so we don't really need clothes.

I plan to pick up the following.

Am I missing anything?

Newborn diapers
Bottles
Pacifiers
Double Stroller

I feel like I need more but my mind is blank.

Maybe more wipes than you ever thought you'd go through... A&D ointment if DS#1 isn't using it now? An infant tub (although you may still have yours)? Some extra toys to reward DS#1 because he may get jealous?

Re: Baby #2 arriving next month. What do I need?

#2 is coming in April for me. Just went through some of DS's stuff (we are team ) which kind of makes it hard but, I realized we need a ton of burp cloths. His were all stained. I like the cloth diapers to use for these. So much better than regular burp cloths imo. Also need some new bibs. We are also going to get:

a new video monitor
a sit and stand stroller
a new miracle blanket (best thing ever)
clothes if it's a girl lol
new nipples for playtex drop ins
newborn diapers


I'll let you know if I think of anything else

Re: Baby #2 arriving next month. What do I need?

fresh undershirts
burp cloths
alcohol (need for umbilical cord)
cotton balls
ointment
wipes
bottles
nipples
pacifiers
detergent (if you use different one for your older son)

Re: Baby #2 arriving next month. What do I need?

With DS#2 I made sure to get him his OWN set of nail clippers, rectal thermometer, infant tylenol, mylicon, nail files (for those new little nails when they are too soft to clip) and tiny tub of vaseline (for circumcision healing and for those times you need to lube up the thermometer)
I also got lots of NB and size 1 diapers, wipes, a few new baby towels (DS#1 didnt have many) new white onesies (1st were all stained) double stroller, new bottles (went bpa free) a nursing cover (never had one) breast pads!!! these are a must as well as lanolin if youll be breastfeeding. Oh and with breastfeeding storage bottles or bags. hmmm I keep thinking here. I also of course got big brother and little brother shirts as well as new pacifiers. There may be more but Im too tired to think! Good Luck! My boys were 20 months apart and they have been best little buddies from the beginning

Re: Baby #2 arriving next month. What do I need?

This is my list (I actually feel bad as with DS we got soo much and there was so much anticipation) this one we have barely thought about it!

- diapers
- wipes
- 2nd camera for video monitor
- new diaper pail
- nipples for bottles
- breast feeding supplies
- I am waiting on a stroller as DS will be 3.5 whne the baby comes so I am not sure we need a new one
- new diaper bag
- a few new clothing items
- bibs and burp cloths
- my MIL got us new bumpers and sheets for the crib
- new nail clippers, hair brush, etc
-milicon


Thats about it really....I still have to go through all the old stuff to see if there is anythign else...
I have these already (left over from DS but never used) but maybe some new towels and washcloths for new baby?

GL!
