Getting Nursery together....dresser question

Tennis Chick · October 2012

What are you keeping in your dresser drawers? Ours will double as a changing table but I'm at a loss what I should keep in the drawers, since now pretty much all outfits are hung.

We kept quick things in the drawers. Onsies, burp clothes, sheets etc. We don't have very much closet space so everything was kept in the dresser. The clothing that fit the baby right now also went into the drawers. The only clothing that was hung up was clothes that the baby couldn't fit and was needed for the future.

In mine I put "sleeper" type outfits (the type of thing I will change him into if it's the middle of the night and he has a blowout). The top drawer has extra diapering supplies and then in my bottom drawer I have extra sheets, swaddlers, sleep sacks, that kind of thing. I hung up all my "cute" outfits and then put the rest in the dresser. My dresser isn't THAT big so it's already full

DS' clothes were hung before he was born, but once they came off the hangars they stayed off; I didn't rehang things as I washed them. I always have his current size clothes in his dresser, and clothes he will grow into in his closet.

We have pajamas in one drawer, then pants/shorts, t-shirts, dressier shirts, one-piece outfits...and we used to have a drawer for onesies but since he's older now he doesn't wear them.

We kept socks, bibs, burp cloths, sheet, blankets, diapers, wipes, breastfeeding supplies, medicines, creams, toiletries... basically anything you can think of. Eventually, probably around 1 year old (maybe it was earlier) we had to take out the medicines and stuff that he could potentially get in to.

I have a changing table and have a bin of onesies, a bin of sleepers, and the extra sheets in addition to diapers, wipes, and those supplies.

Hanging onesies is a pain. I only hang dresses and sweaters.

I am planning on keeping only clothing in our dresser / changing table duo.

Top drawer is: pants / socks / mits / shoes
Middle drawer is: onsies / hats
Bottom drawer: Sleepers

We are hanging pretty much everything else. I wish there were one extra drawer so I could keep diapers in the top. As of now they are in a basket on top of the table.This is all tentative and we will change things if need be when LO gets here.

In DS's room (he's a toddler now), the top drawer of the dresser is pajamas & socks, the middle drawer is shorts & t-shirts, and the bottom drawer is sheets/blankets. All of his matching outfits, pants, long-sleeve shirts (incl. t-shirts) and jackets/coats are in the closet.

In DD's room, we have 2 small dressers: one has sheets, blankets, boppy covers, changing pad covers, etc in it, and the other has pajamas/swaddle blankets, accessories (bows, hairclips, etc), and... I forget what's in the 3rd drawer. Pretty much all of her clothes are hanging in the closet.

I'm setting up the dresser the same as I did last time around because it seemed to work pretty well. I had a girl the 1st time around & am this time also. Any dresses & sweaters are hung in the closet along with outfits(that generally don't make it back on the hanger after the 1st few wears).

I have 4 smaller drawers on top that have:
1-bibs
2-hats & headbands
3-socks & mittens
4-bloomers

Then I have 6 other bigger drawers that:
1-onesies & rompers
2-sleepers, nightgowns, &sleep sacks
3-shorts & skirts(for DD1 she now has a drawer for each)
4-shirts(long sleeved & short sleeved)
5-pants
6-towels, receiving blankets, burp rags

We have a 3 drawer IKEA hemnes dresser. So the top drawer is all his CDing stuff.

The second drawer is all his 0-3 stuff

The third drawer are his swaddles and blankets.

In the cupboard are all his 3-12 months clothing.

We have all of her clothes hanging. The only thing in her drawers are
drawer 1: socks, bows, mittens, pacifiers, in separate compartments.
Drawer 2: plain white onesies, sleep sacks and sleep gowns, swaddle blankets.
Drawer three: blankets, extra sheets
Drawer 4: clothes that are sized 12 mo or older as her closet is already filling!

DH was reading over my shoulder and said.... "Blowout!? What the heck is that? She mentioned that so casually..." Someone is in for a surprise when our first LO arrives next month... Stick out tongue
