Are you labeling your dresser drawers?

Jessimurph · December 2008

I figured I'd put labels on the inside of the drawers so if I asked someone to grab something they'd know where the right sizes/items were. Anyone else do this? How would you label and divide everything? Just by sizes or would you do sections for onsies/bottoms/sleepers/ect.

I'm trying to be super organized, but I'm not that organized so I don't know exactly what to do.

haha, this is crazyyyy! you dont need to label!

No because after baby gets here I will probably change my mind a million times about where to put everything...

That sounds like too much work for me!

Nope, not labeling anything.

Mrs.ADM04 · December 2008

not labeling, just separating by size, so the first drawer has 0-3, next drawer down has 3-6, etc. ?

I am definitely not this organized.....mine are just organized by type, like a drawer for t-shirts, onesies, sleepers, gowns, etc.

That's way too organized for me! I'm just happy when I get stuff put away in the right spot:)

Don't label!

DD's dresser has 9 drawers - only 2 of them have the same types of things in them now that they did when she was born (towels/washcloths and crib sheets). Every other drawer has changed a bunch of times depending on what we have more of, what season it is, etc.

Not labeling either. I have just have it organized by type of clothing (ie. Onsies, pants,)

i wouldnt label them, just say "top left drawer"

fortunately for us, we have a large room with 2 dressers and 2 of those plastic drawer things in the closet. So what I did was:

dresser 1: Has 4 large drawers..top drawer is NB clothes that they will wear right away. I have the clothes sorted by like sleepers, onesies, sleep sacks, etc. 2nd drawer: 0-3 months, 3rd drawer:3-6 months, 4th drawer: all clothes bigger than 6 months.

dresser 2: has 2 small drawers, 1 large drawer, and a cabinet on the bottom. The cabinet has blankets, sorted by type. the large drawer and small drawers have misc things i didn't know where to put (like those blankets they lay on and play with when they are older)

plastic drawers in closet..there are 6.

1.) wash clothes and towels

2.) socks

3.) bibs

4.) teethers/rattles, etc

5.) crib sheets

6.) burp rags

SO everything is organized, but nothing is labeled. it will be easy to just direct people where stuff is if they need to grab it for you.

I have a small dresser, so I did nb/0-3 in one, 3-6 in the next, and 6-12 in the last. 12+ is currently stored in the closet. I figure I will move each "section" up a drawer as she grows into them and retire the old section. that way I always tell people to go into the top drawer. And I did try to keep a separate stack for onesies, sleepers, shirts and pants respectively. Not sure how long that will last once she is actually here though and my husband gets involved - its pretty stuffed.

lol great minds think alike!

Do you realize how often you'll be changing those labels? I'm sure if you organize everything by size, if you send someone to grab something, they can figure it out!
