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. :woman_shrugging:

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.

Honestly with all the money I wasted on throwing a baby shower I could have just bought my own shit :rofl::rofl::rofl: did one with my daughter age 4 now, got pregnant with her brother 6 months pp and didn’t even bother :unamused: was pretty much like yo we have a registry if anyone wanna help but if u don’t we good :woman_shrugging::sunglasses::rofl:

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”.

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 :grin:

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…

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!

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

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.

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 .

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.

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 :heart:

Yes every mom, every baby deserves to be celebrated. Who cares what people think :laughing: you celebrate that baby and becoming a mom again :star_struck::sparkling_heart: congratulations :tada:
