Can't bring myself to get rid of baby clothes.

For mobile: Can't bring myself to get rid of baby clothes.

I really don't think we are having a third. Well, maybe. Well, that's my problem. As Benji has now outgrown 0-3 adn 3-6 month clothes, I don't know what to do with them. Should I continue to store them in case we have another? Should I consign them? Should I give them to someone who is having a boy? It's not really storing that's a problem...I can just put them in my basement. But psychologically it's like I'm being forced to make a decision on whether or not I'm having more babies right now!

Here's what I would do:

I would pack them up and store them in the basement for a year. If a year comes and goes and you still haven't made a decision, then I would consign them or give them away and keep a couple of the outfits that are

I'm with you. Our newborn stuff needs to go. I'll probably consign in our local JBF sale, since I buy Nate's stuff there - maybe we'll break even. I say, "Awww maybe a third baby?" My DH says, "Awwww, I'm getting a vasectomy."&n

haha, I'm the opposite - I am shoving stuff out the door as fast as I can!

We decided to table the 3rd talk until J is in kindergarten at least so there is no way I'm going to store stuff until then just-in-case. I already got rid

I'm already debating this and Mila isn't even here yet! My initial inclination is to donate all the big items since I'm 99 sure we're done. But that other 1 is holding me back...

ETA the mobile ate my percentage signs

I'd go through everything and save 2-3 outfits from each size that you absolutely love and anything that was super expensive (snow suit, holiday clothes, etc.) then consign/give away the rest. They're just clothes - you've got pictures of him in things wh

I'm having the same issue but I just can't bring myself to give them away=(. I really feel like if I give away the clothes and toys, thats pretty much saying we're done. And honestly, I don't think I am! So, I just stored them in the

We are in the same position. I'm 90% sure we are done with 2 kids because OMG I can't even think about being pregnant and having a newborn again right now. And ya know kids are expensive, we'd need a bigger house, etc, etc, etc. But I am also not ready

We were so fortunate to have a friend of DH's (a co worker) give us all of DS #1 (and now #2's) clothes. It was so generous of them to pass it on that I hope to do the same for someone else having a boy.

I have done a little bit of that already

We only have one but have NO space to store anything so like the PPs, I keep a couple of my very favorite stuff and sell the rest. I sell a lot through consignment but am just starting to sell a few things online. Babycheapskate has a FB group

lilmgirl · April 2013

I can't get rid of mine either. I've gotten rid of most of the generic stuff, but I bought so many outfits that he never really wore. I can't part with them yet b/c if we do have another (even a girl!), I don't want to shell out that money aga

I hung on to most of DS's clothes because we were pretty sure we'd have another and I knew if we gave it away it'd be a boy.. now we're expecting a girl so I've been going through all of his old things to give them away (I have several close friends and f
