[The Rattle] Baby Swap

Day 15: 31 Day Challenge

My sister-in-law is due with her second child any day now. I'm so excited to meet my new niece or nephew! We got to talking this weekend and she was saying how they didn't have a lot of winter clothes for the new baby. My niece [her first] was born in the spring. Luckily E was a winter baby, so I told her she could have a bunch of E's old clothes that no longer fit. Then I was telling her how we wanted to get some older baby toys for E to play with now that he more active and cruising all over. She offered that we could borrow some of my niece's baby toys since her new little one won't need them right away.

THAT. Is a baby swap.

Do you have any friends, neighbors or family members that have babies or little ones at home that have outgrown their clothes or toys? Or maybe your babies are the same age. Have you ever noticed how babies seem to get bored with their toys after awhile, but love playing with someone else's toys? Swap a bag full of toys for a month.

If your baby is older and you know someone who is just about to have a baby, can you think of some baby gear that you don't use anymore that they could borrow? A carrier your baby has grown out of? Bouncers they won't sit still in? Take advantage of your mommy [and daddy] friends and let them take advantage of you right back.
