2nd baby different gender; no clothes.

Hi everybody


This will be our second baby. With our first we did not buy any neutrals and did everything boy.


We will be having a girl, so have nothing have any of you been in this situation?


We wanted to remain team yellow, but hubby found out during the scan.


Did you buy everything new? We are scared to tell people it is a girl. As where we are they do tend to make mistakes, and what will we do with all pink clothes?

I'm having a boy this time (girl last time) and am buying new clothes. I got rid of a lot of my dd clothes anyway due to lack of storage and moving house. I have learnt from my mistakes with dd though and I'm being really strict about how much I buy. Dd had way too much in the first couple of sizes.

I'm having a girl after 3 boys and am buying new aswell as being given lots of a family member. I'm a little nervous about having lots of pink and a boy popping out though!! Have had it confirmed a couple of times and will confirm it again at a 4d scan xx

Slightly different for us but we're staying team yellow after 2 girls which we found out the genders of so, although I have kept a lot of their clothes, most of the new baby sizes we have are girly! I've bought some neutral clothes already but not too many (gonna get just enough to last a week or so) as if it's a girl she's pretty much sorted lol and if it's a boy we would likely want to go shopping for boys clothes asap If you're worried about the scan being wrong I'd just buy some neutral items and maybe just a few girly items that could be returned easily (most places will exchange items for you even with no receipt just you may get less back if they've been reduced)

I have 3 boys and still bought new stuff for each boy ( as well as utilizing the clothes i already had ) if this bub is a girl ill be going to town on all things pretty lol but i guess if im doubtful ill only buy a few things just in case.

Im actually having another boy but aside from a few key pieces which I fell in love with if my sons and a few newborn white bits i have bought new things for this baby. I gave most of DS clothes to my friends son who was born less than a year after mine x

I'm in exactly the same situation - I'm lucky in that quite a lot of the 0-3 month stuiff is white so I'm going to be dyeing that pink/purple/yellow - I'm using all of Nathan's old stuff with a small filter applied.

ANything that is too 'boy style' - so tank tops/shirts or anything with 'male' slogans (cool dude etc) will be passed along, but I'm re-using everything.

This is the first granddaughter on either side so I KNOW she'll get spoiled by grandparents wanted to buy pink stuff so it'll work out - baby clothes are expensive so I'll save money now and buy the bigger sized of stuff when I have less of Nathan's stuff that's 'suitable'.

Honestly a baby is a baby - and you can always buy bright pink hairbows/headbands or something elese that makes it clear she is a she - that's my plan anyway

Same situation! Luckily I gave away all dd's clothes when she reached a year or so old so apart from sleep bags and cot sheets I will be buying everything again! I went completely over the top buying for my daughter and to be honest for the first few months she was only in vests/gros (gave away tonnes of lovely dresses etc still with tags on) so this time I will be buying essentials and stocking up if and when I need to!

I'm also going to be trying to turn some of the baby blue stuff dark purple
