What should I throw out?

Mr. O turns one at the end of the month. I'm going through his infant stuff and trying to decide what to keep, what to donate and what to throw out. We're not TTC #2 and won't for another year or so. Would you throw out pacifers, bottles, etc. if you weren't going to use them for another two years?

As a random side note, I can't believe I have to try to salvage his high chair. That thing is nasty, but I can't justify spending another $60 if/when we have a second.

I would throw away pacifiers and keep the bottles that seem to be in good condition.  You can always sterilize them and buy new nipples if you have another baby.

As for the high chair, I have a space saver that sits on a regular kitchen chair.  I have never owned a stand alone chair.  You can find them on sale for anywhere from 30-40 bucks.  If you don't want to keep your old one, you could always switch next time around.

My boys are 2.5 years apart and I kept pretty much everything but the bottle nipples and pacifiers.

We have no plans to TTC any time soon so if we have another there will be 4 yrs between (or more), but we are keeping the clothes and some big items that we really liked.  Some things though like the bouncer and swing you can get at good prices places like OUAC so we sold them.  We also pitched all the old pacis and once we're done with bottles we'll get rid of the nipples and start fresh next time.

to clean our high chair we just put the entire thing in the shower and wash it off in there. it is sooo much easier to clean that way.

I kept all big items (high chair, PNP, bouncer, etc), most bottles, etc. and then any clothing items or toys that I loved.
