Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

I've been saving it. DH thinks I will buy all new clothes because I like to shop. I'll decide when and if the time comes. But I will definitely reuse the pack and play, swing, bouncy seat. Everything is $$ and you only get to use it for a few months.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

Yes, I have been progressively adding to the storage bins as he gets bigger and moves up in sizes. I don't know what I'll do if I have a girl in the future but if I have a boy I'll be all set!

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

of course! Especially since we're planning on having 3.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

We don't plan on having any more children but I cannot part with Charlotte's clothing. It was hard enough parting with the jumperoo that she barely used

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

Yes, most of his clothes are almost brand new and many of the clothes that I bought are gender neutral -- so I can use again with a girl -- especially the onesies and pjs. I'm sure I will buy a lot of frilly dresses if I have a girl lol.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

I kept most if not all of DS's stuff from 2007. Now it is 2009 and I have another DS and he has worn a lot of DS#1's stuff....onesies, sleepsaks, outifts etc. I am glad I held on to these things.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

I am keeping everything (I am hoping to be pregnant next year) If it is a boy then it will all be good if not I will need to buy...

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

The things that I can part with, I will give away-- some of the stuff I will keep I guess.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

Im saving all gender specific things. I am giving away non gender specific things to a family member who can use them. It probably won't be much but it is something.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

We kept everything!
Found out we're having a this time around. That's ok..we'll still hold onto it for friends or relatives or even us if we decide to have more.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

We saved pretty much everything. I really cannot image spending all of that money on all of that gear again.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

I am keeping things for now but I will probably give them away as some more friends have baby boys.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

Another one who's saving everything. If I can't use it then I'll give it to a friend or family.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

I kept everything since I didn't know what I would be having in the future. It turns out it is another girl so I'm in luck. DD has a lot of clothes she only wore 1-3 times and some she never wore at all so those are the ones we will probably be using. Anything stained will be for play, eating at home since I won't care if she makes a mess. Then I will just buy some new items so she has some things that aren't hand me downs.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

I've kept almost everything. I gave away a few outfits but I have a hard time parting with her stuff. You just never know either.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

no. I did in the beginning...but TTC is frustrating..my sister had a beautiful baby and it seemed silly to have all these nice clothes sitting in storage.

I am getting ready to take jumperoo to consignment shop and a few other things. He wants a wagon...so I can put the money towards that instead of staring at this unused baby stuff. Its a downer to look at.

oh yeah....and I HATE having stuff. I am not a saver...hate clutter...hate looking at things that aren't being used.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

I keep the sentimental items...the items I loved so much on him. As time goes by I give some away and hold on to others. If there are no more little boys in our future I will eventually give them away.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

Kept everything for when/if #2 comes along.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

Yes! I have it all saved. And I've let friends borrow things in the meantime and I just labelled it all.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

Yep, kept EVERYTHING!! It has driven DH crazy!!!

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

We have saved everything from DS so far. If we are having a boy, we will use that stuff again and also buy some new. Everything that we saved is still clean and in good condition.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

no, I give it to my sister in Florida who has a boy.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

We are keeping everything...all her toys (swing, excersaucer, playmat, etc) are gender neutral, but just in case we have another girl I'm keeping it. There are some special outfits I'm keeping packed away to give to her when she's older.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

I don't keep anything with a stain. And a few unworn outfits I have given away.

But for the most part I keep everything.

Re: Do you save all your baby's outgrown items for future unborn children that have yet to be conceived?

We've saved everything pretty much, except stained or worn out clothes.
