Welcome to the How To Prepare For a Second Baby | Blog Series. I’m currently pregnant with my second child, so there’s been a lot of preparation going on at moment. Especially as I only have 5 weeks left… Eeek!
As I’m now doing this for the second time, I decided to write a blog series to discuss many different aspects of preparing for baby no2.
If you’re also expecting baby no.2 and wondering what baby items you can or can’t reuse, what you should absolutely do before your 2nd baby arrives, how to prepare your first child for a sibling, and what must-haves you need in your hospital bag, then stick around. This series gives you all that and more.
Take a look through the following list of posts within this series. Feel free to skip to the one that is more relevant to you. If you’re not able to click some of the links below, that’s because those posts haven’t gone live yet. They will be added as the series develops throughout the week, so make sure to check back.
The first post in the series is available from 7 am tomorrow. The remaining posts will be published from each day following with the final post being available on Saturday.

- Items To Reuse With Your Second Baby
In my opinion, there are two big reasons why you should reuse your old baby gear if you can, and they are:
1) Potentially saving a huge amount of cash. 2) To be more environmentally friendly. - What Items You Shouldn’t Reuse With Your Second Baby
As with items you can reuse, there are also items you really shouldn’t reuse with your second child. Thankfully this list is a lot shorter.
