I guess it depends on the amount of years between each DC and the sex.

For example if you have a boy and this time it's a girl then I can see having a small sprinkle.Chat Icon

My first was a boy and I just had a girl so my mom threw a sprinkle for me. I didnt think it was necessary but she invited just close family, cooked all the food and had it at my house. It was a nice afternoon get together. People bought gifts but nothing big like the first shower, just lots of clothes.

I think its a nice idea for close friends to do something for the mommy 2b (lunch, mani/pedi, gift, etc), but I don't like the idea of another party involving family and extended friends all over again.

eta: I do think every baby should be celebrated.

I agree. Also if they are close in age but different sexes, I can see having one.

I agree, I'm not finding out the sex cause I didn't the first time, but I hope someone will have a sprinkle for me to celebrate this baby too!Chat Icon

It all depends on the situation.

How many years later is it?

I had 2 showers b/c my kids are 7 years apart.

Also, sometimes they sprinkle a girl b/c her first DC was a boy and 2 years later she' having a girl. And vise versa. A sprinkle is supposed to be very simple. No registry. Just a GTG to sprinkle the mommy to be with a few gifts.

I like the idea of a sprinkle.

Re: What do you think about showers for the second time around (sprinkle)?

i had 3 showers.. not big with extended families but with people that wanted to celebrate the new baby and not feel pressured to just "buy a gift".. in my opinion those that were there would have gotten the baby a gift anyway, so why not?

ITA.

A friend of mine had her two girls 7 years apart. Even though she saved all of her baby gear a few big items were no longer up to the safety codes.

She did not have a full shower. It was only a handful of us that got together, all chipped in to get a gift card in a large amount, bought some other cute items and we went out to lunch.

We celebrated the baby w/o obligating family and friends to a full-blown second shower.

Re: What do you think about showers for the second time around (sprinkle)?

I dont agree with them unless there is a huge age gap. And I dont think just bc you dont have another sprinkle or shower, your baby is any less celebrated. I know that is common response to having one - that its about celebrating the baby - but what does that really have to do with it? You can still celebrate your baby without receiving gifts in advance. JMO

I also think it depends on the amount of years between the children.

With my 2 kids there is about a 7 year difference and I had a shower. Plus my first was a boy and 2nd was a girl. So I guess it depends on the situation.

I think its a cute idea especially if you are having the opposite sex of the first baby.

its cute if you are having close friends and immediate family but when you have it at a hall/restaurant and invite 40+ women then I think its totally inappropiate!

I don't think there is nothing wrong with it especially if the new baby is a different sex.
