Do you give someone a shower for their third or fourth baby?

No. None of my friends/family did.
We didn't find out the gender of any of our kids (well...we knew since the technician both times leaked the info but we didn't tell anyone else) and kept everything gender neutral for our first child making it easier to reuse items for our second. Everything was pretty gender neutral for their first 6-9 months.

So one should just assume they still have all their baby stuff and don't need anything? I'm just not sure. With my third no one gave me a shower and I had to make do and scrape by without the things i needed because we couldn't afford it..

Our small group (which we weren't part of when we were expecting our first child) gave us one for our second daughter.

I guess. It's just not common here to have more than one. I'm guessing you have any chance of having another baby, you should keep the items you have 'just in case'.
I didn't need anything for my second one other than newborn diapers and I did purchase new bottles.

My family it depends.. if it's their first together they'll throw one, if not then they might help out here and there.....

I dunno, my SIL had one for her 2nd child. But I think it's strange, my feeling is that a shower is for new parents, to get all the stuff they might need. I'm thinking the same as K~most people would keep the items they think they'll need for any future babies..... :dunno:

I'd also say it would depend on how long between the last one and this one... couple years still should have most tuff about a decade or more... you've prolly gotten rid of stuff and need to restock.....

Good point.
I tend to give gifts to all my friends having kiddo's but no shower is given to them.
Now my SIL desired no shower and was quite clear about it. She ended up being convinced to have a shower after her first child was born. But she had NOTHING so while she was in the hospital my sisters-in-law and myself purchased items she needed for her... :wave:

IMO Do what you feel is right and what the person needs. Ettiquitte smettique! If someone is in need then give them a shower - 1st 2nd or 10th baby.

I never had a shower for my first two so my friends gave me a shower for my 3rd. Most of them pitched in to give me special things for the third.

Besides consumable items are always needed.

Heck - any reason for a party is good enough for me. Even have a shower for the 10th baby. You know the parents are gonna need some help then!

LOL. We have so many parties that we wish we weren't always invited :faint: LOL...

:belly:

I've never had a shower so I wouldn't mind one to fill in the gaps of what we didn't already have. I mean my kids live mostly in hand me downs but it's nice to have a few new outfits. And there are things that wear out through several kids as well.

now that the cat is outta the bag...then i say ABSOLUTELY....

you should have a baby shower with EVERY baby....

We usually just throw a party for the first boy and first girl. So it's after the baby's been born and you know what to shop for.

Our church will even offer to throw a baby shower.

Hey..let's have two cyber-showers :bounce: :bounce:
