With a Coterie diaper subscription, you’ll never have an “oh shit we ran out of diapers” moment again. This diaper brand is developing a cult following among parents, and for good reason. They’re insanely absorbent, their materials and ingredients meet the highest safety standards, and the fabric feels like cashmere. Give yourself the gift of putting diaper and wipe deliveries on autopilot with a Coterie subscription on your baby registry. You will thank yourself later!

I didn’t think I’d be bathing my kids simultaneously, but now it’s become a nightly tradition. Water safety with newborns is essential, especially with a rambunctious toddler who loves to help. This bath seat is a second baby registry must-have that’ll make bath time bubbles fun and safe for both little ones.

Most baby registries will be less than 100% completed, so this gift card is the perfect option to help you purchase the remaining items for your baby, but from a marketplace that sells quality open-box and gently used baby products from the top brands. Bonus, you get to shop sustainably and buy something that could have been seriously pricey at a discount.

Once your baby develops core strength and can hold their head up independently, you’ll appreciate a safe and entertaining seat for your little one. We call this the “bathroom” chair. It’s where my youngest sits when I shower, get ready in the morning, and other moments when I need hands-free time. It’s a practical choice since it grows with your baby, plus it’s easy to clean. If you didn’t have this activity center with your first, we highly recommend it for your second!

Multi-tasking and perfecting efficiency is a parent superpower and something that’s even more refined with multiples. If you’re a pumping parent, we recommend adding the Willow Smart portable pump to your baby registry. Rejoice! No more being tethered to an outlet! With the Willow, you can run errands, empty the dishwasher, enjoy a meal, or visit a coffee shop, all while discreetly pumping.

From one mom to another, I understand wanting to feel good in your skin but not wanting to wear an actual outfit. Well, this set provides just that! The robe and joggers are functional, buttery soft, and comfortable. Trust me. You don’t need an outfit for visitors. You only need this. Even better, the bra’s skin-to-skin fabric will be your new breast friend and the Rescue Balm doubles as chapstick and nipple ointment. Self-care doesn’t have to be elaborate. Sometimes, it just needs to feel like you.

I will never tire of encouraging parents to add items on their baby registry that support them just as much as the baby, and an upgraded coffee pot deserves a spot front and center on your second baby registry! This coffee maker has a single dial that lets you choose how many cups you want and allows you to set the automatic wake-up timer to begin brewing mom’s morning coffee. It’s basically magic, and you deserve some in your cup.

It’s time to upgrade your first baby carrier to this new Ergobaby Aerloom carrier. They’ve magically redefined comfort by designing a fabric that stretches and shapes to fit your body’s unique contours, creating a supportive, custom fit for both you and your baby. Fun fact: 87% of the knitted fabric is made from recycled plastic. So not only is this carrier’s carbon footprint light but so is the carrier itself, weighing in at only 1.45 lbs! Who wouldn’t want to be carried in this?

When introducing a second baby, it won’t be long until your oldest becomes a little clingier to mom and dad. This hip carrier is the perfect option to protect your back when your toddler (or baby) wants up, down, or up again. It’s like a little hip shelf! Grandparents also love this product since it reduces muscular strain while they hold young children. It doubles as the perfect diaper bag, too. This product is a must have for parents of multiple littles!

My oldest daughter has been in daycare for 3.5 years, and when I tell you I’ve personally tested every nasal aspirator on the market, I am not exaggerating. Meet Dr. NozeBot, your tried and true best friend during the cold season. It will suction out the most stubborn snot, plus your toddler might even enjoy doing it themselves! Did we mention you don’t have to suck on it to get out the boogers? You’re welcome!

A quality humidifier is the best friend in your cold season defense lineup. Look no further than the Canopy Nursery Bundle. Filtered, hydrated air can calm coughs and help alleviate cold and flu symptoms. We love that it comes with dishwasher-safe parts, and the smart technology makes it one of the only humidifiers to combat mold growth inside the humidifier. While it’s busy battling mold, it’s also tackling daycare germs. Good riddance!

Spills and spit-ups are part of parenting life, even more so with two. With a Ruggable Rug, you can worry less about both, knowing you can easily throw your rug in the washing machine, and it’ll still look good as new once it’s dry. Your nursery is a sacred space where you’ll spend a lot of time with both kids, and this rug means you can make more memories and fewer stains. It’s a win-win for everyone!

We can’t stress the importance of being hands-free enough, especially as a parent of two. When you want to catch up on a podcast, stream something on your cell during the middle of the night feeding, or listen to music on a walk, you’ll be grateful for wireless headphones. No more tiny hands pulling on your headphone cord and ripping them out of your ears!

If a crock pot wasn’t designed for families, I don’t know what was! Your time is valued and limited, and when you’re exhausted from a full day’s worth of parenting littles, cooking a meal is the last thing you might have energy (or time) for. Parents— this is stress-free cooking, and don’t you dare feel weird about putting it on your baby registry! This product is the gift of time, and I know someone would be delighted to buy it for you!

If your kids will be in separate rooms, it’s time to consider upgrading your baby monitors. We love the Miku Smart Pro Monitor with Care+ for a few reasons. You can access the monitors on your phone from basically anywhere. You get notifications if anything seems amiss. And you can hang with your hubby knowing your littles are being looked after. The Miku is worth investing in for everyone’s peace of mind.

A high-quality, gender-neutral diaper bag that’s roomy enough for diaper necessities for two (or three or four), a material that’s easy to clean, and durable enough for road trips, car rides, and everything in between. We also love this bag’s versatility, as it can easily convert from diaper bag to work bag, travel bag to overnight bag. The diaper bag backpack also comes with a water-resistant, washable zipper bag that comes in handy when there’s a blowout and you need a place to stash the dirty clothes. If you’ve considered upgrading your diaper bag, this is for you!

Depending on your lifestyle, the Veer cruiser might be the best stroller wagon to enable all the adventures and memories you hope to make with your growing family. It has the functionality and safety of a premium stroller, so you don’t have to worry about that! Veer also makes select infant car seat adapters compatible with eight major brands, so make sure to find yours and add it to your second baby registry, too.

There’s a 50% chance you have an UPPAbaby stroller. And if so, this ride-along board is a must! Once your oldest has outgrown the stroller, they’ll love riding on this “skateboard.” There’s a sense of independence for the oldest kid, making towing two kids into the grocery store a breeze (with plenty of snacks, of course). We use this daily, and we think your family would love it, too!
