Is it normal to have baby showers for a second baby? I keep hearing it’s not fork older people, but I feel like I hear about that more nowadays?

Out of all of my friends & family that have had a second baby, all of them have had a baby shower for baby #2! We’re having one, just not as big as our first one.

I think instead of a baby shower/sprinkle, I am gonna have a nesting party with my mom and maybe a couple really close friends to help me get the nursery restocked, wash and put away bottles and pump supply items, cook postpartum meals for freezer, etc. I am having another girl, so I don't really need girl clothes or crib or carseat, I moreso don't have the time to prep my house and make sure I am taken care of postpartum which is important.

🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ I’m kinda wondering the same thing

i’m doing a baby sprinkle for baby number 2, i’ve heard mixed things about it but at the end of the day it’s your decision and it doesn’t matter what others think or say. i’ve been told not to have one but i want baby number 2 to be celebrated just as much as baby number 1 was

my momma had 6 kids and had baby showers for all of us , my husband has two children from a previous relationship and only had one for his oldest but i genuinely think it is all about preference and personal opinions❤️

I didn't have one for my 2nd but I'll prob have something for this 3rd one since it's a girl this time and I live in the USA, I didn't before and it's not customary to have anything.

I’ve seen both! Usually in a second it’s smaller. We are having same gender and only need a few things and decided against it.

Hear me out: Do. Whatever. You. Want. We won’t need much besides opposite gender clothes this time but if anyone thinks I’m missing out on a chance to have a party for my baby and myself uh-uh. It will literally be less work because I only need like a double stroller and some clothes for the most part. So much less pressure on guests but we absolutely want to celebrate with family and friends!!!! Bring on the cake pops!
Literally everyone has an opinion about *everything* when it comes to babies pregnancy birth and parenting. Let. Them. Have. Their. Opinions. And then do whatever the hell you want. You will always be annoying or disappointing someone with your parenting choices but you and your baby and your family are the ones that actually matter.

I wasn’t going to do a second one but my bestie talked me into it, I think it depends how far apart the babies are
