is there such thing as too many baby clothes?

EbethM0231

Just wondering b/c my son already has a wardrobe of clothes and he's not even here yet!!  People just keep on giving us hand me downs, and of course, if I find a good deal, I just can't pass it up  I'm not complaining at all about this, but it's starting to get overwhelming.  I keep thinking that I have to wash all of it too!!  whew...that is gonna be a job!  I'm starting to wish that I will have more boys after this so the clothes will get used a lot.  Oh, and I haven't even had my baby shower yet!  I'm gonna have to ask for toddler sizes...haha!

Yeah...Last night my dh went to a bachelor party and I thought, well I will just wash up some of dd clothes.  The first major time consuming task is cutting off all the tags...seriously took me hours.  Then I seperated the sizes and washed them in loads accordingly...then I thought wow...where do I put all this.  Its not like you can just walk in the nursery and put it away...you have to figure out where all this stuff goes.  What to hang and what to fold.  Somehow in all this work I have already lost one sock.  Way to go mom!

GOOD LUCK!

Yes- When we went through the boxes of DS's clothes from babyhood, we found things that still had tags on them! My MIL has a shopping problem, and that generally equates into bunches of clothes for the LO's. It's nice, b/c it helps us out by not having to buy as much. Maybe some of the clothes that people get you at your shower, if they're not your style, you can take back for store credit?

I have the same problem. We have not purchased 1 thing for DD. I have received so many clothes that I will never get through them all even if she wears each outfit only 1 time. I feel guilty but many people gave gift receipts and I returned some of the clothes for credit toward things we did not get from our registry. This experience has taught me never to buy clothes for another baby shower...I will shop strictly from the registry.

Last night I was just going through clothes that we received for the little one and boy does he have a wardrobe already and the little stinker's not even here yet. I also haven't had my baby shower yet and I am hoping that people stick to it because we don't need anymore clothes right now...lol.

I'm in the same situation. The dresser is already full just with newborn and 0 - 3 months clothes. I had to pack everything else away b/c I have no room for it (we have a small house, and the nursery doesn't have a closet). I didn't want to turn down clothes people gave me b/c I don't know what size she will be and what will fit her. I guess it's a good problem to have, but still stressful!

I think this happens to everyone.  I know looking back at DS's clothes it makes me sad, I LOVED some of his stuff and he really didn't get to wear it too much.  I am hoping one of my close friends or my sister will have a boy.  It almost made me dissappointed that I am having a girl this time- since she can't use any of it.
