Did you buy a new crib mattress for second baby?

[basil]

I know you're not supposed to buy a used crib mattress but can you use it again?

My DS is 2.5 and still in his crib...showing no particular signs of being ready to move. DD is set to arrive in May, probably will be in the bassinet for a few months and after that if we're still not ready we can use the pack n' play. Alternately, I could buy an Ikea crib and mattress when we move her to her own room. I like that option because it looks cuter, but DH doesn't see the point in having 2 cribs. But if there is some reason we may need to buy another mattress anyway, then???

I did get a new mattress for baby #2, I will do anything to lower the SIDS risk. Of course that means I have an old crib mattress languishing in my basement.

I didn't buy a second mattress.

I did. DD1 was still sleeping in her crib and I didn't want to move her when a new baby was on the way. So I bought a second crib and a second mattress. I gave DD1's crib to MIL to keep at her house when DD1 moved to a big girl bed.

I didn't and we just retired it in December after 6.5 years of use. It was of good quality and didn't show any signs of wear or sagging. DD1 used it for 2yrs and then DD2 for 4.

I'm using same crib mattress for DS2 when we're ready to move him into his crib few months from now. We moved DS1 to his full size bed from original crib so had to buy a full size mattress for him , freeing up crib mattress for DS2 now.
