The Ultimate Baby Registry for the Second (or Third) Baby

By the time your second or third (or fourth) baby rolls around, you’ve probably had your fair share of trying all the new gadgets and tools that you used for your first and already know what works for your family. However, if you’re anything like me, there may still be a couple items that you still have your eye on for this next baby.

Deciding on what to buy for the second (or third) baby has its own set of challenges. You have to inventory what products and toys you still have that are worth keeping or whether they need to be replaced or even chucked without repurchasing. Inevitably there were things you just had to have, but now don’t make sense for the next baby, or didn’t work as well as you thought they would. Or you might just want the latest version of a favorite item for the next baby.

Whatever the case is, we’ve got you covered with this list of items that many been-there-done-that parents of multiple kids swear by — even after the first child is grown!

You may be searching for the perfect double stroller and this updated design comes with all the bells and whistles.

Noisy kids aren’t always easy to quiet when it’s baby’s nap time. Giving your baby the comfort of some white noise, soothing sounds, or a calming night light should help to give them the sleep environment they need. We love that this model easily connects to our phone so we can change the sounds as needed from the kitchen or other room in the house.

This gender reveal game makes it easy to play and allows you to create your own game that you know your people will love.

While you may have stayed home for the better part of the first baby’s first year, it’s hard to keep still for the second and third baby. Using a transportable pack and play that includes a sun shade is perfect for allowing the baby to join in on the outside fun.

For those who already love their current UppaBaby Cruz stroller, consider the ride-a-long board. This attachment makes your single stroller an easy ride for your older kiddo to hitch if they’re tired of walking but too much of a big kid to sit in a double stroller. This board folds with the stroller even when attached and can be lifted out of the way when not used.

If you decide to and are able to breastfeed your new baby, consider a suction-based breast pump to add to your arsenal of pumping items. If you have breastfed before, you will likely remember how much milk soaked your shirt from the letdown on the other non-feeding breast. Attaching this pump while feeding your baby will collect all of the additional milk that you can use in a bottle later — and save you precious time with more than one kid running around. No liquid gold lost on our watch!
