2 questions...
1. Does your LO wear socks under his/her sleepers to bed??
2. Those of you that are planning on having more kiddos, are you keeping LOs clothes after they grow out of them just in case you have the same sex during the same season??
Thanks!

Re: 2 questions...
1) no
2) yes
1. No
2. Yes, plus I have sisters that I may pass them to. Also we dont have much of seasons so that part doesnt really matter.
1. Typically I do not and I especially don't if they are wearing fleece pj's. DS1 wears a sleep sack over his pj's and DS2 is still swaddled. On occasion I will keep socks on them.
2. I have 2 sons and I kept all of DS1's clothes. My boys are born in opposite seasons (May and October). DS2 has used maybe 1/2 of DS1's clothes.
1) only on a few super cold nights.
2) yes
1. nope
2. yes

1. Yes, DD's feet get soo cold at night.
2. Yes, keeping everything tucked away for later (hopefully).
1. Yes.
2. Yes! I'm stoked because my sis has one of each and is now finished, and I was gifted all her adorable clothes. Lovesit!
1. No
2. Yes - although it's not much of an issue for us. I HOPE we have another girl to use some of the stuff we have.
1. Lilly wears sleep gowns, so I do put socks on her...although she usually kicks them off....she also wears baby legs.
2. Yes.
Ok.. My cousin-in-law is having a baby in 2 weeks and I have a handful of DS old clothes that don't fit him anymore to give her.. but I wasn't sure how much of it I should keep! Our winters are cold so I'm trying to figure out how realistic it is for me to keep all the long sleeve newborn baby stuff and not just pass it on to her!
1. no
2. undecided

1. no
2. yes, even if our next DS is born in the spring/summer, a lot of DS's clothes are short-sleeved - we would put long sleeve onesies under them.
1) yes, our house gets very cold at night
2) we dont think we will have more but I am keeping DD's clothes just in case
1. No
2. Yes - and whenever I have some spare time (haha), I am planning to go through them and sort out the neutral stuff from the girl stuff and box it separately.
1. no
2. yes
1. yes
2. yes
1 He still sleeps swaddled
2 I emotionally cannot part with his clothes. We bought a lot of them during other pregnancies and I just cannot let them go. I am keeping them all.
You could let her know that you may ask for them back in the future. My SIL has lent me clothes for DS2 and I give them back when they no longer fit just because they are hers and I don't want to keep them.
To give you an idea of what DS2 is wearing in DS1's clothes, DS2 is currently wearing some 6-9mos stuff - granted they are still a little big. So he is currently (as in this week) starting to wear the long sleeve 6-9mos stuff of DS1's and long sleeve 3-6mos stuff if it still fits. DS1 also had some short sleeve 6-9mos stuff that he actually really didn't get to wear so those things DS2 will get good use out it this spring as they will fit well then.
Honestly, I think it just depends on how fast children grow to know how much use you'll get out of them. I've been pleasantly surprised at how much stuff I've been able to reuse.
1. No, he only wear socks if he is wearing a onesie to bed
2. Yes I am packing away stuff DS never even had a chance to wear. If we don't use it eventually I'm sure someone we know can take it. That or we will donate it/sell at garage sale.
1. No
2. Yes, we've been packing everything away clean and neat for if we have another daughter. Due to her hip dysplasia, DD pretty much lives in sleep-n-plays (very few cute outfits
) so I figure those will be used no matter what season another baby would be born in.
1) no
2) I did and even though my boys are slightly different seasons I've reused much of the same clothing!
1) no
2) yes
1 sometimes
2 yes

1) If she's wearing a cotton sleeper yes, if it's a fleece one then no.
2) Yes, just in case we have another girl.
1. NO
2. For our 1st DD - I kept EVERYTHING. Glad we had another girl. The seasons are off - but some things we can use. Plus DD2 is bigger than DD1 was so some of her winter clothes we have been able to use. Now once DD2 is done with clothing I am getting rid of it. I have kept a few outfits. Not sure if we will have another, but if we do it will be in a few years.
Yes
I've kept some of his clothes.
1. no
2. yes.. why would I want to give them away and possibly have to re-buy everything?
1. no
2. yes, my two will be same season - my wallet is hoping for another boy or else I'm going to go crazy buy girl clothes
1. nope
2. yes
1. No, just a fleece sleeper.
2. OMG yes! My sister and I have a baby item collection for use with future siblings/cousins.
