Usually only their first. The thrill usually dies down of all the whistle and bells with the more children you have.

each baby lets say u wna register cuz ur having a baby shower u can have a baby shower for all babies that u have so that means u can register all u wnt

Joslyn

welll it just kinda depends on the parent!!

Maryam

It’s typically for the first baby but you can do whatever you want.

Romeo

i registered with both my kids, as they are all just important as the other

Carrie

for each one..each child is different…generally you register for the baby shower

Maeve

from what ive heard, its just the first one cause the assumption is that if you have another baby, yolu already have the stuff from the first baby.

Tony

Only the first baby. Typically there is a shower for the first baby and people will bring gifts. For additional kids, your family and close friends will probably get something anyway. It is assumed that by the second child that you already have the basics and will use them for the next baby (clothes, blankets, bottles, etc.)

Lucy

Proper ettiquette says shower for the first child only.

But I am pregnant with twins (#3 & #4) and I registered & am having a shower forthem next weekend!

Donte

if your friends or family says they will give you a shower then you can register.Many people do have showers for 2nd babies, nowadays. If no one says anything about giving you a shower then I wouldn’t register. severeal people will still probably bring a gift when they come to see the baby but to tell them where your registered would be tacky.

good luck and congrats

I think a baby shower is like a wedding shower…you really should only have one with your first. But everyone’s different and I’m sure not everyone agrees.
I personally won’t expect gifts with my second….I think its kind of tacky….other than maybe needing new clothes or bottles, you should have much of what you need already from your first

Maryjane

I think it depends on how far apart the kids are. Mine will be almost 5 years apart so I have NOTHING from my first. My mom is throwing me a shower.

Rylan

Generally, yes. It really depends on how far apart your kids are in age, though.

I, personally, don’t believe in having “multiple” showers if your kids are really close in age (I would much prefer hosting my own “Welcome Party” after the baby is born if I had my two close together). However, I am lucky enough to have a best friend and aunt who want to host one for me this time around as well (My daughter will be almost 7 years old at the time our baby boy is born in May. I didn’t keep anything from her babyhood and obviously, have no boy items at all).

I have decided to register for the “essentials” only. If people chose to purchase me a gift off of the registry or if they purchase something else, I’ll be grateful either way. I have found, though, that most people don’t appreciate shopping off of registry lists that are REALLY long and detailed. They get frustrated and end up purchasing something of their choice instead. So you may want to consider only registering for things you really NEED - If you register at all.

Good luck!
