How Long should I save My sons baby clothes? ?

Question

He is going on 3 yrs, and I have saved everything so far. We think we want another baby before it is over with (I am only 26, and we already have two), but were not 100% sure. SO, I am wondering with that in mind, how many years worth of clothing is appropriate to save for a 3rd baby we dont know if/when will arrive and if it will be a boy. ..............

P.s. we are limited on storage space, but could prob make it work for one more yrs worth. I dont want to be a pack rat though

Answer 1

I saved my kids clothes for about 3 years. Then i was sure we weren't having any more and sold them all in a yard sale- got over 400$ that day. I saved my youngest daughters highchair,strollers,car seats etc until she was 4 and ended up giving them to another Mommy that really needed some stuff. If I thought i might have more I would have kept it, but i was sure.

Answer 2

I'd sell it on ebay. If you aren't even sure that you'll have another then why keep all the clutter around, you know? I saved my son's until he was about 3 and then finally decided to sell it, (except for a few outfits for sentimental reasons, of course). I felt great getting rid of the clutter and it put some extra cash in my pocket. I figured by the time I had another his clothes would be outdated anyway.

Answer 3

I kept my son's clothes until he was 5 years old at which point my best friend got pregnant so I gave them to her. If I ever decide to have another child my friend will let me have them and her own babies clothes so I can't lose. If you really don't have room for all of them maybe you could just keep the best.

Answer 4

Only you can decide that but I can tell you that I have a 3 1/2 year old son and a 6 month old son.  They were both born in February so all the sizes match up w/ the season and our youngest has been able to wear all of his big brothers old clothes.  We still buy him some new clothes, of course, but the hand-me-downs have saved us a ton of money (not to mention most of those were only worn a time or two anyway b/c he grew so fast).  I would save them, but that's just me.  : )

Answer 5

I'd keep them if you're still thinking about more children. We're keeping all our son's clothing because we want more babies. Obviously you won't know if it's a boy or girl until you find out but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Answer 6

Get rid of it.    I hate those spitup stains.  You're wasting storage space.  Onesies are inexpensive.  It's all dependent on season of the birth and the gender of the child.  Keep a coupl of baby blankets, maybe the REALLY nice unisex stuff, and donate the rest.   You should be keeping one small box maybe at the most.

Answer 7

Keep only your favorite of every size.  pass on the others to people that can use them now.  clothes box/friend/church

each child has their own personality not everything will fit your hope to be next child!

Its so hard to let go of that stuff I know good luck.

I have two and can not have any and I still have to bins I cant seem to let go of

Good luck
