Moms of 2+: If you have a DS and DD....

cs1007 · December 2011

What did you do with all of DC #1's clothes etc. if you have a second/third child of a different gender? We find out in a few days what we are having, and I am wondering if we are having a girl-what to do with all of DS's old clothes? (I have a feeling getting rid of them would be very hard!)

Some of them we kept as memories, some we passed down to my niece, and some we sold to consignment stores.

We're still undecided on if we'll have another baby eventually, so for now we're keeping everything. That being said, my sister is pregnant and if she has a boy and wants any/all clothing she's more than welcome to it!

I kept DD's and DS's coming home outfit, the Christening outfits, and a few handmade blankets and consigned everthing else. When we found out we were pg with #3 and having another boy, I started saving the stuff that I knew would be worn again. I have a pile to consign in the spring though.

Knowing we wanted 3, we held onto our fav of both boy and girl clothes. We knew 3 was our limit, and when we founds out DS2 was a boy. I started getting rid of DD's old clothes. Luckily, I had a friend who was pregnant and due a couple of days after me who could use the girl. I was really attached to DD's clothes (I had wanted another girl...)

If the clothes were stained or I didn't really like them, I didn't save them. I still save DS1's clothes for DS2 but when he outgrows them they are gone as well as DDD. I either sale them at a consigment store or hand them down. We are D.O.N.E.

We're not sure if we're going to have another kid at any point, so I'm giving most of DD's old clothes to my cousin who is having a girl a month after me. I kept some cute outfits for sentimental reasons, everything else I'm giving away. I might keep this kiddo's clothes for a while, just in case, unless someone gets pregnant and has a boy.

We will be done after #2. So I gave all of dd's clothes to SIL who is due with b/g twins around the same time as me. She has an older son, so this helped her be all set with clothing for the babies.

I got really lucky when one of our friends gave us her ds's old clothes. It's always nice when people pass on the clothing, especially that first year when stuff is hardly worn. If you give them to someone you know, you will also get to see their lo in the clothing occasionally which is cool.

We're keeping everything for now because we may have a third child and we have a huge basement so storage isn't a problem. When we're sure we're done having kids, I'll keep 1-2 of my fave outfits from each child and either sell/give away the rest.
