stuff to keep at parents' house?
My mom will probably be watching LO once a week while I work and i don't know if i need to buy extra bottles, crib or a pack n play, car seat base, etc for her.
Are you buying or registering for extra things to keep at your parents' house while they babysit or watch LO, or just bringing everything you need each time?
TIA

Re: stuff to keep at parents' house?
I think having an extra baby seat, bottles, clothing and pack and play would be good to keep at your parents' house so you dont have to bring so many things back and forth.
Plus with a baby seat you want to install it once and not have to worry that its installed correctly if you have to remove the base or anything multiple times.

I agree with the PP. I would probably include blankets, sheets, wipes too.

Crashing...
my parents watch the boys a lot, but they also have 8 grandchildren now
They were able to get a nice crib from a friend who's grandchildren are older
Wipes
diapers
small blankies
PnP - if they have two a two-story house. DS will play in it if my mom has to run to the bathroom or something or naps
extra clothes - usually some of the outfits I got as gifts I didn't care for. LOL. She also bought a lot
car seat base
usually extra toys (you'll get double so instead of returning bring to your mom's)
bottles/sippy cups
baby spoons
My parents pretty much buy a lot of the stuff, but they do have a lot of grandchildren. Cosco is great for extras like wipes and diapers
You can fill a dispenser with formula and bring it over when you drop off LO

Register for extras! I have a spare exersaucer, PNP, high chair, and a ton of toys stashed at my moms. It makes my life 1000x easier when we go there.

ITA! We were lucky that a lot of my mom's friends have grandchildren that outgrew the baby stuff so she got hand me downs of:
highchair
pack n play
toddler bed (I know you're not even thinking of this yet)
The pack n play and car seat base permanently in her car are the most important. You'll have bring your LO in the carseat, so she really doesn't need another seat in her house. Bottles are good to have there, but I actually always made and brought them.
When s/he gets older, toys and a highchair def need to stay there.
