ALL babies deserve to be celebrated
I’m having a baby shower even though it’s my forth child but different gender though
To each their own. I personally probably wouldn’t but would be all for a diaper party lol
Each baby is unique and worthy of special Celebration of their life .
Each baby should be celebrate , do your baby shower and do not invite them
Each baby deserves to be celebrated. I’m on my third & having one for this one to!
You have one for each baby, right ??? Then, yes !!
I’m on my third boy and we were just thinking about doing a diaper party.
You can choose to have a baby shower if you want to if people don’t wish to participate and have a bad attitude towards it they don’t have to participate
I had a very small turnout to my first baby shower which kinda broke my heart as a single mom seeing how few people actually cared. With my second and third babies I haven’t bothered. My sister in law put so much time and money into my first baby shower I could never ask somebody to do that again just to have such a small sad turnout and I certainly wouldn’t be spending the time and money to throw myself one. I believe every baby deserves to be celebrated but unfortunately a lot of people don’t feel that way. It’s becoming pretty popular to have what they call a sprinkle though which is supposed to be more like a mini shower/diaper party. I don’t see why you couldn’t call it that.
Maybe have a Welcome Baby party after they’re born because a lot of things from your first baby you can use for your second, so the gifting part of the baby shower isn’t really necessary except for things like clothes for a different gender.
Every baby deserves to be celebrated!
Honestly with all the money I wasted on throwing a baby shower I could have just bought my own shit did one with my daughter age 4 now, got pregnant with her brother 6 months pp and didn’t even bother was pretty much like yo we have a registry if anyone wanna help but if u don’t we good
For my second baby i did a raffle type thing… if your guests bring diapers or wipes they get entered in to win a gift basket. So everyone brought diapers and wipes and we ate some finger foods, cake, and hung out. It was a little more relaxed than a regular baby shower.
I think that close together a second is called a baby sprinkle. It’s more for like, clothes and diapers.
With them being that close, id say have a baby “sprinkle”.
Every baby should be celebrated. My friends are throwing me a shower for my third next month
It’s normal to have two but maybe not so close together. I had a baby last year and am pregnant again this year and pretty much have everything I need from my last pregnancy except diapers. I could understand if you’re having the opposite sex and needed new clothes too. But don’t feel bad people judge others all the time. You do what you feel like you need to do.
To each his own, of course. I chose not to have one.
They don’t have to come if it’s a problem geez
I just had my baby abs I told my boyfriend if we ever have another baby we are not doing a shower we will get everything ourselves! To each there own tho! If I was invited to a baby shower weather it’s there 1st baby or 4th baby I’ll show up
I agree with everything the previous people have said. I know people have baby showers for every baby they have. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Is this baby the same sex as your first? Because that could be a real good reason to have a baby shower if you need clothes for different sex
I had two (work then family) for my first girl (9), didn’t have one for my 2nd girl (7), had one for my 3rd girl (15 months), and had one for my son (4 months)
Do a baby sprinkle & instead of gifts do a diaper raffle. I don’t think it’s bad for wanting to celebrate another baby, close together or not. But I wouldn’t expect crazy gift-giving either.
Baby showers are typically for the FIRST pregnancy. If you choose to have multiples it’s typically a diaper party or a sprinkle for subsequent pregnancies. They are smaller and less formal parties where the baby and parents are still celebrated with family and friends but the expectations of gifts is not there like with a shower.
I think baby showers should be about celebrating life.
Instead of asking for baby gifts ask people to bring wipes and nappies or something small like formula, baby bottles and dummies.
Do lucky raffles, have a BBQ or other dinner foods and just celebrate life and family.
Just as your first baby needed those gifted items, your second baby needs the same items too…
I had 3 kids and got 3 baby showers. If they judge you they aren’t your friends.
It’s time to celebrate
if you want one, do one. it’s nobody else’s choice but yours.
You can have a baby sprinkle instead. Asking for necessary items, but not as big as a shower. And have a diaper party included!
Maybe have a friend plan it? Send family, friends, co-workers whoever and invite? Maybe ask for diapers/wipes or gift cards to Walmart. The economy is bad, people are tighter with money. So maybe for the ones that went all out for the first want to, but can’t afford it? It’s possible. So, finger foods, cake, cute table, just something small, but great to celebrate? Like maybe put a $25 max gift amount limit on it… some may can only afford $10 pack of diapers, while others may can do more, but perhaps that would relieve pressure… and hey gift cards add up and are so helpful! Also, let people know even if they can’t afford a gift you’d love them to show up and shower you and the baby with love and support!
Why are we telling others that only the first child deserves to be celebrated?
Yes! Have that baby shower! Screw people. There are no rules on baby showers.
Eh, I don’t judge anyone for having a second but I wouldn’t! Now after two and imma judge tf outta you.
Imo every baby deserves a celebration!
Honestly do what you want to do for your babies. Don’t ask these random women on Facebook who say rude stuff to anyone that’s not like them. Best of luck
Only have one baby shower for first child., anyone that gives to second child is a blessing , honestly I think it’s rude to have 2 so close. Just my opinion !
You could make it a baby sprinkle since it’s your second baby. If you ask them to bring any gifts or if they would like to bring anything, they could just bring diapers + wipes
I’ve always heard of friends or family throwing baby showers, not the mother planning them. But I’m old! What do I know?
It’s funny cuz I had a baby born in July and now this baby is born in December so I am having a baby shower even if my baby is just turning two because obviously I need stuff like for it’s room and all the newborn winter gear. People who say baby shower is just for the first baby, that’s bullshit lol
I had 2 baby showers. One for each kid. If you want a shower then have a shower
It use to be taboo to have multiple showers. I’m having a second one for my second baby. I think all babies deserve to have a day to be celebrated
A second or third child, typically, gets what is called a “Sprinkle” not full on shower. Especially when they are so close in age.
For a first child most people do not have all the necessary equipment, clothing, etc for a baby.
And so close friends and family, recognizing the expense of preparing for the arrival of a new baby want to help.
For subsequent child, especially, for those so close in age the expense is not so great as the parents have the basic equipment.
For subsequent children, baby items can be passed down and reused.
Most people have much smaller showers for second and third children, otherwise it looks kinda greedy.
Also this is the worst economy in probably the last 40 or 50 years, people are hurting financially.
Also you shouldn’t be planning your own shower, someone close to you should give you a shower.
I had one for my second, but my kids are 10 years apart and I had nothing for a new baby. I would say since they’ll be so close in age, a sprinkle or just a diaper party would be more “socially” acceptable, but they really aren’t that much different from a typical baby shower.
It’s okay to celebrate all babies, but don’t “expect” big ticket gifts. Mine are 18 months apart and not as many people came to my second, which was fine. We asked for smaller items and bought bigger items ourselves, such as the crib and double stroller.
Every baby deserves to be celebrated! You could always have a meet and greet after baby is here and people could bring presents if they like or snacks…

There’s nothing wrong with having multiple baby showers. They’re supposed to be getting together to make the mom feel special and beautiful and celebrate the new little one arriving soon. In my opinion no one has to bring gifts even for that first baby shower.
if you want you could include gifts are not required on invitations, that way people know you just want to celebrate the new baby and your not asking for free baby stuff .
I had 4 baby showers
It is usually seen a little tacky, especially when close together.
Maybe a grandma shower or just a welcoming party
In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it. Never stop believing in yourself.

Every baby deserves a celebration but maybe tone this one down bc obviously you’ll have everything from your last still and unless the genders are different you won’t need much.
Just call it a “sprinkle” and everybody wins.
Baby sprinkles are a thing for close in age, same gender babies. I threw one for my sister!
No! You do not get another baby shower especially, since it wasn’t that long ago you had one! This is hilarious! Have you ever heard of the term “ONE & DONE!?” Today’s society! You’re not entitled to a baby shower for each child! Go buy what you need & want! SMFH!
Yes. Many people have two baby showers.
Every child should be celebrated don’t understand why people would get judged
I don’t think the issue is having a second baby shower, it’s have one so close to your last one. You already have baby stuff. You can celebrate the baby another way without asking for gifts again. If anything, have a diaper bash.
Not so quickly no I agree with them
Every baby deserves to be celebrated! Maybe just do a diaper party or something similar, unless second baby is opposite gender, then do full on. It’s your baby, your family! If they don’t want to come great, more fun for those who want to celebrate!
If the baby is the same gender as the last one maybe do a diaper and wipes shower that way u get diaper if u already got everything from the last shower
You could do a “baby sprinkle” similar to a baby shower, since it’s so close.
The first baby is like a huge deal milestone. A second shower is greedy IMO especially so soon.
Do a sprinkle to celebrate the baby. Each baby should be celebrated! But don’t expect gifts and etc from guests since you just had one.
Just have a celebration and make it clear you do not expect gifts, just a day to celebrate a new life. I think they call it a sprinkle or something when you already had a shower.
Since when do people give themselves baby shower?
My daughter got pregnant again when her són was 9months we had a baby shower for her then as it was her 1st baby I asked her if she wanted to have 1 this time as she is having a girl this time and she said no bcuz she already has all the big major stuff from the first time around(crib, car seat, swing, stroller,changing table etc etc). So we just told the immediate family and her best friend that were asking what to buy to buy girl stuff ,clothes, bows ,diapers etc. She told every one what color the room is (lavender&gray) and that she was going with elephants and koalas and the immediate family and friend have just been buying girly clothes and girly stuff then stopping buy and dropping it off. We will be having a big family celebration dinner after my granddaughter is born instead.
No. Too soon to have another
If people think it’s tacky, they don’t have to come
Literally do it. It’s not “too soon”, it’s another celebration. Do what you want!
Ehhh… I mean I get their concern. People also have their own expenses, and that is mighty soon. However, the people who really love you are gonna always help you as much as they can and not judge you for your choices. Do what you want! If you need the extra help then go ahead. If not then maybe just make a baby registry and let people help you that way. Good luck, don’t stress yourself love
Baby showers are to celebrate the baby. If you want one have one!! The people that are judging you, don’t have to come.
Have a celebration party instead, tell people you’re not expecting gifts just want to celebrate your baby just like you did with your first. People can still bring gifts if they want.
Have a diaper party or sprinkle. You still get the celebration without people feeling obligated to bring a gift.
I think having a huge shower is a little overboard but a small baby “sprinkle” celebration should be had no matter how close the children are together. Every baby should be celebrated.
I’ve had 3 kids and all 3 had a baby shower mind you I had all boys i had a space of 5 years between my oldest and my second and 2 years between my 2nd and 3rd but my family is huge and big on celebrating pregnancy its up to you let them judge

Typically, showers are given for first babies and for subsequent babies only when there is a long time between the babies.
.
The thought being that gift items are outgrown quickly, usually before they are worn out. And so the gift items can be passed down to siblings. And it is a terrible imposition to ask for more gifts in a short time frame.
Most people have small baby showers for second, third and fourth babies that are now called “sprinkles”.
These “sprinkles” are noticeably smaller, typically, just close family and very close friends.
Also the gifts are not as large and extravagant.
Sprinkles are considered is better taste as all babies should be celebrated without imposing too much on the good will of friends and family, especially in these hard economic times.
But you had large age gap.
That is very different than having a shower every year or two.
People care but have their economic constraints.
Yes every baby is a gift that should be celebrated
Yes every mom, every baby deserves to be celebrated. Who cares what people think you celebrate that baby and becoming a mom again congratulations
Idk should you? Why you asking us
