[Amityeyer]

Is it okay to have a baby shower for your second baby?

Do what makes you happy!!!

[Amityeyer]

Okay , I've heard people say it's wrong to do thag

Im having the same question. But I decided to have a party to welcome a new family member instead of it being a baby shower :)

[mrspoofy0913]

Many people say it's wrong because they expect you to keep everything from your first pregnancy and baby shower.

My Mom is throwing me one for my second boy. I didn't put much on my registry though because I saved a lot of my stuff from my first son.

I'd say so, there's things that expire like car seats and I think I heard after bottles get so old they are unsafe to use. You'd also need diapers and probably clothes so there's pleanty that people can assist with as far as gifts go. Plus baby showers are fun

I have kept all my clothes from my son , I don't know what I'm having yet . But my best friend needed the baby furniture so I gave it to her not expecting to have another baby so soon

Ive never heard anyone say it was wrong to have more than one. I know people who have had one for each child. That have had three kids.but I guess it just depends on your preference.

I'm having a "bare necessities" shower. We're good on clothes for either gender and we've decided to be surprised. We really need diapers and whatnot (adds up fast when you have two kids in diapers!) But my sis offered to throw me one and so did my mother in law.

I just had my baby shower for my second last week. Not one person minded and everyone showed up. Traditions are changing. Just like older people don't think boys should be there. But mine was coed. Alsou sil only made enough necklaces for the girls to play one of the games so I had to go out and buy more because they thought only girls would play but actually a lot of the boys wanted to play and some even won games. Have a shower. If you still have a bunch of stuff then just let people know you just need diapers and stuff.

I really think it depends. My husband and I are military and we didn't have a baby shower for this baby because we are 1,400 miles away from family, but if we have another baby, I think if we were home our families would throw us a baby shower since we didn't have one the first time around!

I'm having a baby shower for my second baby but its only because I had a girl my first and then the summer before I got pregnant ended up selling the last little bit of baby furniture I was saving because I didn't think I could get pregnant then bam lol so I'm basically starting all over especially since I'm also having a boy so it wouldn't of mattered if I had kept any of it lol ...its really up to you..maybe instead of having a full blown baby shower you could have a sprinkle party a get together that your guests can bring baby gifts but to update what you already have especially if your having the same sex baby

Why not? And everyone has different opinions but mind you, it's true traditions are changing. My first baby shower males,and females attended . Which is seen okay in our family, until I read somewhere it's just for" females" but it was fun.

Lol what? Why wouldn't you

I think if we have any more than these two kids, I'll do a diaper dinner. Invite everyone to dinner (either cook it or pay for it) and have them bring a pack of wipes or diapers with them. It'd be a fun, laid back way to celebrate the new baby without needing to register or play silly games.
