My brother and his wife recently had a baby. Now they're expecting another one.?

We threw a big baby shower with their first child. This new baby will be born just 13 months after their first child. I think it's too soon to have another baby shower. But, we want to do something to acknowledge this new baby. Do you have any unique suggestions?

    My youngest two children will be 16 months apart. They are both girls, so there is not much baby stuff we need. The main things will be diapers, formula, a second crib, and a dresser. So, since this is stuff I would rather pick out, money or a gift card would be the best present.

    If their babies are not the same sex, you could still have a baby shower. If they are the same, you could take them out to eat or throw a small party and give them a card and money (if a party, collect money from everyone and have them sign the card).

    Generally for subsequent babies it's appropriate to have some sort of meet and greet after baby is born. This still gives a chance to celebrate the baby but isn't as gift oriented as a baby shower is.

    Either have a diaper party or a shower that says "no gifts' on the invite.

    You could do a "Diaper Party" and have everyone bring diapers of varying sizes which is exactly what they will need with 2 under 2.

    in my experience most people only have a shower for their first... maybe take them out for a celebatory dinner and you and your family get together and buy them one big gift together like a crib or something?

    Throw another one! But make a joke of it, kinda thing. Like tease them about having it such a short time after. Maybe use the same congradulatory cards and things, but make it obvious enough that you are doing it on purpose.
