No registry. We live overseas (UK) and baby showers are not done here. I did get a few cute gifts from friends when DS2 arrived.

I'm thinking about the following:

- Arms Reach CoSleeper: our mattress has been on the floor for like two years for safety reasons. DS1 and DS2 are both STTN in their room now and occasionally DS1 comes in for a snuggle in the morning. It would be nice to get our mattress off the floor. I'll look for a second hand one.
- Stroller. We have a single BOB revolution and a single Mclaren umbrella stroller. We'll need a double with these DS2 only being 22 months when this one arrives. Maybe a Phil & Ted's. Also thinking about getting an UPPA Baby Vista again with rumble seat + ride on board for DS2. DH gets a decent baby bonus from work that would more than cover one of these strollers.
- maybe a new breast pump. Pumping has never worked for me in the early days but it would be nice to have this third one take a bottle occasionally.

Already have an infant car seat, Ergo, Bjorn Balance seat thing (fantastic!), glider, Bjorn travel crib.

We only saved my breast friend pillow, A&A swaddle blankets, bottles, bathtub, girl crib sheets, and some other random small things from DD. They will be 4.5 years apart and we didn't have the space to store or know if we would even have a second.

I have a registry started on amazon that is private to me so I can keep a list of what we need/want. Eventually I will make it public for family. We will not have a shower.

Friend is loaning us carseat and swing.
Crib, mattress
Dresser
Bottle Nipples
Pacis
Stroller
Some toys
another sound machine
monitor
breast feeding supplies and a foot stool
play mat
mattress pad/sheets
boon drying rack
ear thermometer

I'm not putting clothing or anything on there. I tend to buy all of that second hand when I see a good deal.

Too early right now and I'm not even sure if I will do a registry...we have a 5 year old so I have a lot of stuff still. I think I will make one only if someone asks...my hope is to buy a lot of stuff used.

But on my list of new would be...

car seat
crib (maybe get used if not on recall list).

[tigress]

I'm on baby 3.

I will need a new carseat and replace pump parts and bottles.

I want to buy a maya ring sling. I may borrow a rock n play from a friend if they will let me. But my kids love the swing in the past, so maybe I wouldn't even need it.

[starlily]

I did an Amazon list last week just to keep track of stuff we still need. I bought pretty much everything else already.

Pack n Play
Infant car seat
Monitor
- These three were all things we either borrowed or didn't have last time.

A couple board books
Crib protector pads
Bottles
Bottle drying rack
Pacifiers and clips
Bibs
Stroller organizer
Stroller riding board for DD1

[mrsnole]

Boy washcloths/towels
boy burp cloths
extra video monitor camera
RnP
My Brest Friend pillow
Sound Machine
A+A swaddle blankets
Sleep sacks and swaddlemes
Diaper Genie
Pacis
Mei Tai

[ringstrue]

Sophie Teether
travel system
pump parts
lanolin
pump bra
milk freezer bags
dishwasher basket
wubbanub
bottles
bouncer

Friend is giving us their glider

Since this is a boy and our first was a girl, we also have:
sleepers
onesies
t-shirts (for before the umbilical chord falls off)
a couple towels
more washcloths
paci clips
2 crib sheets
changing pads
5-pack of receiving blankets


Though I'm counting on buying most of it myself. I like to use a registry as a checkoff list. I actually have my eye on a cheaper bouncer at another store.

pacis and bottle nipples - BRU doesn't let you register for latex nipples and pacis, apparently, so I'll just get those on a store run.

There are a few things I'm not getting a boy version of. He'll have to suffer with a pink and brown bassinet and a girly boppy cover.

Ok, so I have a question. It's ok to reuse my bottles, right?

yes! I had plastic last time so I just wanted to get glass this time.

I guess you can, maybe replace any parts that could get worn out?  Nipples etc?

I'm not, but then I use the platex drop ins and I'd have to buy new nipples anyway, the shells aren't THAT expensive.

Yes, I was just advised (by the company) to replace the nipples. I had contacted them to see if my bottles (which I stupidly store in the attic) were still ok to use. They were.

I am not officially registering, but I am on the lookout for:

- a new car seat (skipping the bucket seat, so still researching my options)

- new crib bedding (which I might not actually need, but my previous bedding has been sitting in my parents' basement for a few years and I haven't seen it yet to evaluate what state it is in)

- a new carrier/wrap (just because I want to add to my stash)

- new bottle nipples

I'm hoping to get a play mat/bouncer/swing, etc. as hand-me-downs from friends since I gave all of DD's things like that away. But I still have all of her infant towels, burp cloths, onesies, and a bunch of other stuff. At some point in the next month or two, I will sit down and organize it. 

[statlerwaldorf]

I kept an Amazon registry for the discount and to keep track of everything I needed.  You can make it private and move the due date to use the completion coupon sooner.  They will be 5 years apart, so I needed new car seats.  I kept all of DD's baby stuff.

Infant car seat
Stroller
Convertible car seat
Wubbanub
Hooded towels and wash cloths (somehow I lost these)
Socks
Onesies
Shampoo/body wash
Diaper rash cream
Aquaphor
Diapers
Wipes
Bottles (decided to try a bottle that was supposed to be more like breastfeeding)
Bottle brush
Breast milk storage bags
Nursing cover (I just wanted a new one)
Reusable nursing pads
Disposable nursing pads
Lanolin
Ergo (I regretted not getting a better carrier with DD)
A&A stroller blanket
Burp cloths
Lightweight Swaddle Me (all I had were fleece)
Video monitor (I only had an audio one)
Play mat (I never had one with DD)
Rock N Play (they didn't have these when DD was born)

I also plan on buying a walk through gate.  I am hoping to find one that DD can use, but the baby won't be able to figure out.

I am.  I am just getting new nipples for the bottles.

Great, I will do that then. 

I know DD was getting rough with the bottles by about a year old, and a lot of the nipples and caps were cracking. I'll just replace them all to be sure.

[anaps28]

Not registering. I saved everything including bottles. Maybe I'll get some pacifiers bc my DS never took one. Luckily it's another boy so I can reuse all his clothing! My SIL just sent me a huge box of clothing and swaddles too.

[scribellesam]

Don't have a registry, since no one in our circle does showers or gives gifts for second babies so I'm not expecting anything. My to-buy list includes the following:

Beco Soleil
New pump parts
New bottles (Tommee Tippee)
Pacifiers and a Wubanub
Rock and Play (we borrowed one with DS)
Infant playmat (borrowed one with DS)
New burp cloths and baby socks
Some new clothes (if we end up having a girl)
Another video monitor
Possibly a double stroller, but I'm undecided
