Too many clothes?

  I've felt the same way at some points. we got a ton of clothes from the shower and as gifts and a friend donated all of their 2  little boys clothes to us. 

  at first i felt this rush to donate a lot of it but now that i see how many clothes lo goes through per day, I'm just hanging onto them. i figure if i have another boy ill be well supplied and if i don't.. I'm sure i can find someone who i can give the clothes to.

  i appreciated them coming to me even if i didn't plan on using them, so I'm sure someone else will want them down the road. i just try to make it clear to the grandparents that we are well stocked on clothes. if they listen, great, if not.. oh well.

  We only go through one change of clothes a day, so depending upon the baby you may or may not need tons of clothes. I found that my baby grew out of her clothes really quickly, and while I was gifted a lot of newborn, 0-3, and 3-6 months clothes, I don't have many bigger sizes. So, if your MIL insists on buying you clothes, either suggest that she buy bigger sizes, or maybe save them and exchange them for bigger sizes.

  I've been saving some of the ones that have tags so that I can regift them. The other stuff I will probably give away.

  I'll be consigning most of mine (except for a few extra special pieces) at a local shop, where I'll be able to get the next sizes up!

  I sorted the clothes by size and type.  I put the bigger sizes in labeled totes and stored them in our spare bedroom.  I will sell or donate anything that we don't like or doesn't fit.  DH and I worked together sorting the clothes, so it didn't take too long.
