Question

With old baby clothes? Are they worth selling? This is my first baby so I got a little excited and bought him a ton of clothes when I was pregnant.. I also got a tonnnn of clothes for my shower, etc.. my son is big, just about 22 pounds so he’s already wearing 12M. A lot of clothes I had for him never even got worn. I’ve kept them all because we plan to have another baby in a couple of years but I’m not sure if they are worth keeping that long? Would I want new clothes for a new baby? Or if we had a girl (which I doubt lol) I wouldn’t use most of them.. idk. I was thinking of having a garage sale once it gets nicer?

Answer

My mom got me space saver bags to keep everything, blankets, bibs, hats, socks, everything. She said if I dodnt have another girl maybe my kids would and bam a whole wardrobe right there. All we would need to get would be the non reusable things like diapers and wipes. She said even if I didnt want to store it she would. So, yes, I think everything is worth keeping. Selling it could get you a little extra cash, but I'd keep most of it if there were things you didnt want.

Answer

Totally worth keeping. I just had my third baby the there are 4 years between the first and second and 4 years between the second and third. Even though those are long gaps in soooooooo glad I kept the clothes. It’s worth the storage space because it saves a lot of money, but it also brings a lot of joy to see the next baby wearing clothes you remember putting on your first.

Answer

Space saver bags ! I saved a bunch of it and have it organized by size . I also have given a bunch away bc 2 of my neighbors are pregnant. Lol

Answer

Luckily for me my SIL is pregnant with a boy so i gave it most of them to her, i also kept his baby clothes that i like even tho we’re having a girl right now i’m just going to put a boy on her with his big brother’s clothes 😂

Answer

Holding on to them for next baby

Answer

I'm using the old diaper boxes currently. They are filling up fast so I'm looking into alternative ways of storing them.

Answer

Saving a couple of bits. But if you’re planning on more I’d dsave them x

Answer

We got lots of hand me downs for our baby, so I've sorted through and out the stuff we actually used in one bag, and the rest in a bag to donate. I asked the friends who have us stuff if they wanted it back, some do, some don't. We bought vacuum storage bags so hopefully it won't take up too much room.

Answer

I’m not sure I will have another, but I’ve held onto things I loved and/or are gender neutral.  We didn’t know the gender of our daughter so a lot of her early clothes could work for either gender if we had another.  I’m not holding onto everything because that would just be too much to store IMO.  Right now?  What I’m saving fits in the boppy lounger bag with my maternity clothes.  I don’t want to get rid of those until I know I’m done and I’m honestly just not sure.  I’m either selling, or giving hand me downs to friends with the rest of her clothes.

Answer

I had my son 2 years before having my daughter. I have 5 big totes of clothing ranging from 0-24 m of boy clothes.  I go through and will take out proper size of anything that is gender neutral or not extremely boyish for my daughter. Pajamas I just take and use because no one is seeing it. She obviously has new clothes as well but a lot is just taken from my son's. I am giving my friend all my girl stuff and will be selling my boy stuff this summer. I know we're done so it's pointless to hold on to it.
