You may want to check your car seats to make sure it hasn't expired or has been recalled if it has you may want to add that to your list.

Hardly anything. Bottle brush, ointment, burp cloths. I had a baby book on my list but still haven't actually gotten one. I got a new changing pad bc ours was pretty torn up. We reused DD1's crib but got an extra mattress pad since she still uses one on her toddler bed. I would even hold off on clothes. Maybe it was bc DD2 was born right before christmas but we got so much clothing for her as gifts. I returned a lot and just kept store credit for the future. Even having them in different seasons I kept a few gifts and mostly used what I already had.

Hamper
Diaper pail if you're still using one

For #2, I really tried to buy as little as possible. (After the first you realize how little you actually use!).

-I sterilized all the bottles and bought new nipples.
-I bought new pacifiers. Those turned out to be a waste b/c my DD didn't take one. I thought it was the type of paci, so I bought even more. Even more money wasted lol.
-Like the PP said, another humidifier.
-A lot of the larger sized undershirts (6 months and up) were not stained so I rewashed them and used them for DD.

Some random things you need for a newborn that you might not have lying around for the older ones-
gripe water
vaseline

Pretty much everything that could be handed down to my DD from DS was. I hope she likes blue because her sleep sacks, swaddles, sheets, towels, wash clothes, pjs, everything is blue lol.

Pfft. We ran the bottles under hot water. Good enough. Lol. Truth is my kids never had time to wait for a warmer.

Oh yeah diaper genie!

We will do all new bedding since the girls are still in cribs and will use everything for toddler beds.

Thanks!!
