For us, the bouncy seat and baby wearing items have been put away. The swing, infant carrier and bumbo are close to being put away. I still need to put his summer clothes away, but I'm procrastinating on this one ...
Swing, rock and play, carrier, infant car seat and any clothing item that's 6 months or smaller. We still have the pack and play set up in our bedroom, but he's never it unless I'm keeping him out of stuff while I work. Lol. I'm thinking of going through his toys as well and sort out all the little things he doesn't play with anymore.
ETA: We don't use our baby bathtub or swaddlers either.
We rarely ever used the bouncy seat, its been away for a while.
I ebf and hate pumping so it doesn't get much use. Bottles too.
also RNP, bumbo, infant tub, swing, carrier/sling.
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
- PNP (we'll use it when we travel, etc, but haven't used it at home for sleeping since month 3)
We haven't put the swing away, but we never use it and haven't for a few months. We just installed her convertible car seat in my car tonight, so the base that was in my car is now stored. But we probably won't get a convertible for H's car until Christmas - so, on the rare occasion we all go out in his car, we'll still use the infant car seat.

Bouncy chair it will come out later when he can use it as a rocking chair

Jolly jumper he went too high once, nearly flipped over and would scream when I brought it out after that!
The bumbo and infant seat, and playpen are at grandmas.
Pretty soon we will put away the exersaucer, since he only plays with it from the outside now. Thank goodness we bought used!
cradle, infant tub, 0-9 mo clothes, infant carrier, bumbo seat, starting to put away summer clothes, swing, play mat-the ones they lay under, about to retire the exersaucer.
We've put away the infant tub and graduated to a bigger baby tub. We've also gotten rid of a lot of clothes, as she's grown out of them so quickly. Same with the swaddling sacks.
I see a lot of you say you are putting away carriers, like slings, etc. Do you have any plans for those?
We've retired clothes that were 0-3 months, and some of the 3-6 months (the smaller brands).
Also the sling in her bathtub.
And the cosleeper.
We use the vibrating chair a lot less, so that will probably go away soon. We still use the Bumbo.
The bar that allows her carseat to attach to the stroller (she always hated sitting in her carseat, so we barely ever used it in the stroller, just let her lay flat).
-nb to (most) 3/6 month clothes (we still have a few that fit her, but I feel like we'll be putting those away this week
For the record, I cry almost every time I put things away. I'm so happy to have a fun, mobile, happy baby... but I'm sad that she's growing up so fast!

- Rock n Play (although he still uses it to sleep in when he's at my parents once a week)
- travel bed
- his 0-3 and some of his 3-6 mo clothing, there's some that run pretty big so he still fits in them.
- swaddling items
- infant bath (I just hand him to DH when he's almost done with his shower and he just cleans and shampoos him up, DS doesn't mind it and it's so much faster than setting up his bath)

Ditto!
I do too. I told DH I would totally pay somebody to come and pack away his stuff for me. It makes me sad because if we don't have another boy, I'll never see it again
Re: What have you retired?
Good question!

Not all of this is put away yet - but we no longer use:
cradle
swing
bouncer
activity mat
snuggler piece for the car seat so she fits better
all clothing NB-6 months
sling in the baby bath tub
putting the baby seat in the stroller - she rides like a big girl now
AND we are probably retiring her car seat around christmas - as I'm hoping to get her a convertible one as a gift
