How many bins do you have of clothes your DC outgrew?

DS is only 3 months old, in 6-9 mos clothes. I have 4 full bins already. 1 bin of newborn and 0-3, 1 bin of 0-3, 1 bin of 3-6 and 1 bin of size 1 & 2 diapers, and 1 bin of winter stuff he's not going to use anymore. How do you store your baby clothes so they stay okay for the next baby? Are just bins okay? Should I use the space saver bags instead?

Tons! Half the bins have clothes with tags on it b/c he was in a size for a short time and never got a chance to wear everything Chat Icon

He's 10 months old and wearing 12mon and PJ's in 18 Mons (depending on the brand)

Every day I feel like I take another article of clothing out of his drawer or closet

I had six or seven trash bags full. I don't know that we will have another and if we did there's no guarantee of gender, so I was very happy to pass it all on a few months ago to a friend, esp. since her DH was out of work. My DD grew so fast and most of her stuff was barely worn.

I have about 4 right now. I have been selling them at consignment sales to get rid of them. I have made about $500 so far doing this.....

Too many to count!

I am having another boy this time so it was worth saving everything. I don't have to buy any clothes for this new baby!

too many. I have a 2nd DS now who will thankfully be in the same sizes. But, I'm not 100% sure we're done having DC. So, I don't want to get rid of anything yet. It's getting out of control though, we have little storage space as it is and while I don't want to get rid of anything I'm running out of room to store it.

Wow, I feel like DD is deprived. She is 28 months and I have 6 total diaper boxes filled with the clothes she has grown out of.

I have one bin of 0-3 and a bin of everything larger than 6-9.

He's got 3 drawers full of 3-6 month clothes though - for any season - so we will need at least 2 bins to pack all of it up when he moves to 6-9 month clothes.

Only two at the moment.

But when my nephew was a few months old, I brought down 14 bins of clothes for him. Then his past Thanksgiving, I brought down 6 more. The aforementioned two are packed up for him now too

When DD was 3 I had 6 bins filled to the brim. With DS I have been giving them away as he grows out of them since we are done and I see no reason to store them.

Re: How many bins do you have of clothes your DC outgrew?

DD is just about 8 months old.

I did have 3 full bins full, but my sister just had a girl so I gave ALOT of stuff to her. Now I am down to 1 full bin of sentimental stuff (i.e. her coming home outfit and Christmas dress) and things that are out of season for my niece.

Re: How many bins do you have of clothes your DC outgrew?

DS is 10 months old and just started wearing 12 month clothes. I would say we have about 5 bins of clothes and other bins of other newborn stuff (boppy, small towels, etc...)

Re: How many bins do you have of clothes your DC outgrew?

I have only one bin of clothing that we are keeping. I pass along or donate the rest of it. I know we are done at two. None of our siblings are married yet so kids and clothing are way off in the distance. I feel like in 5 or so years when they may be ready the clothing will be either out of style or yellowed with age. I would rather it go to good homes of people I know. I did keep a lot of stuff between DS and DD. I have reused some things. I just gave DSs preschool 2 huge bags of clothing for their rummage sale. I regularly give my cleaning woman DSs clothing for her grandson.
