One great thing about having a second baby who will be born at exactly the same time of year as his brother (two mid-September babies) is that he\u2019ll very likely be able to wear all of James\u2019 old clothing (since they\u2019ll have been the same ages in the same seasons). And having them close in age means we still have all of James\u2019 newborn gear\u2014bassinet, swing, toys, etc. All this to say, we\u2019re lucky that we don\u2019t need too many new things for baby #2. But there are a handful of items we\u2019ve gotten or decided to re-buy. Note: Links in this post are affiliate links.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What We Bought for Baby #2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Newton Baby Breathable Crib Mattress
<\/a><\/strong>James is still comfortably sleeping in his crib, so we knew we needed another one for his little brother. We\u2019re so fortunate that my brother and sister-in law gave us my niece Victoria\u2019s crib, which is in great condition and still up to health and safety codes. All we needed was a mattress. Like a lot of parents, one thing I spent quite a bit of time worrying about with James was how well he was able to breathe at night (he only wanted to sleep on his tummy). Even as recently as of a few months ago, anytime I\u2019d see him sleeping face-down, I\u2019d have to go in and make sure he was able to breathe. This Newton crib mattress is breathable, waterproof, allergen-free, and completely washable. Best feature: it\u2019ll give me peace of mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bibs<\/strong><\/a>
If baby #2 is anything like his older brother, he\u2019ll be going through multiple bibs a day until he\u2019s about 9 months old. These Greensprouts bibs come in a 10-pack and are the best we tried. They\u2019re well-fitting (not too snug around the neck) and seriously absorbent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing pad<\/strong><\/a>
This is the same changing pad we used for James, but after over a year of heavy use, the one we had ripped at the seam. It\u2019s soft and yet supportive, with strong contoured sides to keep baby safely in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Onesies<\/strong>
Just a few footed one-piece pajamas from Baby Gap: a and a . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mam Newborn Pacifiers<\/strong><\/a>
The only <\/em>pacifiers James would take as a newborn and the only brand he uses now, at almost 2 years old (he uses the Mam Air ones). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LectroFan White Noise Machine<\/strong><\/a>
Hands-down the best white noise machine on the market. And trust me, we\u2019ve tried a number of them (Daniel and I sleep with fans and white noise every night). It has a variety of noise types and volume settings. It\u2019s not the cheapest but you can\u2019t beat it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
