Re: Moms who plan on having more kids... What are you saving for your next baby?
I am saving everything. I don’t want the expense of having to replace everything when baby #2 comes around. The only things I have gotten rid of are old, stained clothes, bibs etc, things I totally didn’t use or see a need for (ie my wipe warmer), old toys or toys that take up a lot of space but DS didn’t really use them. We had gotten a lot of hand me down toys from family which were all in pretty good shape, but we got so much that I did donate quite a bit.
We have a huge basement and are adding attic storage space in the spring so storage space isn’t too much of an issue.

Re: Moms who plan on having more kids... What are you saving for your next baby?
If I decide to have another I will get new stuff...DD stuff already takes up too much storage. I will try to save the big things but they are also all gender specific so I'll see

Re: Moms who plan on having more kids... What are you saving for your next baby?
As DS out grew things I saved what could be saved. I had also saved the bedding, mobile, etc. When I got preggo now and found out that it was a girl I got rid of what I could but still saved a few things.

Saving all that I can- Im def not rich and most of her stuff is in good condition.
Most is all neutral gender so, it will work for boy or girl.

Re: Moms who plan on having more kids... What are you saving for your next baby?
Saved it all, except for soiled and stained cloths. DD is still young so alot of her newborn socks are in still great shape so kept those too. Im only buying a new Exersaucer adventually b/c the one dd used was a used one. Figure this way new baby at least gets something new.. Plus we have new bottles for him/her.
Im also just buying new accentials, like towels, washcloths etc.

Re: Moms who plan on having more kids... What are you saving for your next baby?
I'll be saving everything except her pacifiers and I suppose I'll toss her nipples too when we're done with bottles.. Anything with a stain gets tossed.
I have promised DH that I'll go through all DDs old clothes and get rid of half of them. She has sooo much clothes we're out of storage space already.

I am saving everything. It's all in my attic labeled nicely. I am hoping my second child is a boy just so i can reuse all the clothes!

Saving everything to use again. Most of her stuff so far is hardly touched......especially clothes. As far as the bottles since we're using Drop-Ins those will be used again too. We'll use whatever we can to save money.

I saved all Jared's clothing, toys, crib and furniture. We just got a new stroller, bouncer and swing...as well as some other items. Nikolas was born during a different season...so he needed warm clothing.

We have been saving everything from Jacob. When the time comes, we will go through everything and see what we really want to keep.
This is what I have been doing as well.

Everything that is in good condition. It would be a waste to throw out good stuff.
Same here, I don't plan on getting everything new when things are perfectly fine to be used again. Most things DD used are still in great condition and anything that isn't has been tossed out already

Re: Moms who plan on having more kids... What are you saving for your next baby?
BTDT 2.5 years apart.
Saved and used
Packnplay,exercauser,jumperoo,some clothes, socks,blankets, miracle blanket, bibs, bumbo
Saved and wished I didn't
Travel System and carseat. My DD was long like my son and out of the carseat at 3.5 months but she was light and I wished I would have upgraded to a new seat because I could have kept her in it longer and they are lighter now then they were in 2005. Needless to say we gave it away since we decided if a #3 comes along we want a new one.
Chucked
Highchair it was nasty and too bulky to store,bouncyseat (sold it and put the money away to buy a new one),walking ride on toys. All onesies since they are so cheap to buy new, bottles and pacis (I dunno I figured what are the odds the babies would like the same one plus I think saving paci's is gross) Needless to say DS used Dr. Browns and DD used Drop Ins so it worked out

Re: Moms who plan on having more kids... What are you saving for your next baby?
I'm keeping everything except any clothing that is stained or beaten up looking...most of it is from my nephew anyway. I can't afford all new things now, so I have no fantasies about being able to spring for a whole new wardrobe for future kids either. No baby shower for a 2nd child, so all the toys and other stuff is being sealed up tight and stored in the attic!

Re: Moms who plan on having more kids... What are you saving for your next baby?
I saved everything except the following: travel system (stroller and car seat), baby bath tub, bottles and nipples, two diaper bags that were gifts and NMS, the original bedding set that I purchased but then received a second set as a gift and liked it more. I gave all of the things to my cleaning lady (except the bottles/nipples) for her church.
DS kept a lot of things in great condition. We would like to try for another child.

Re: Moms who plan on having more kids... What are you saving for your next baby?
I am saving everything with hopes that I can resuse most stuff. I will buy new bottles and binkys and things that got worn out...but if I can save money I will reuse everything!

Re: Moms who plan on having more kids... What are you saving for your next baby?
I saved EVERYTHING from DD.
The big items like the crib & bouncer & swing I'm glad I saved. I need almost nothing but clothing this time around which makes life much easier. But baby #2 is a  . As it turns out, those frilly pink dresses that I saved are pretty much useless this time. I just recently went through all of DD clothes & saved the outfits that are special to me & got rid of everything else. We want a third, but I'm not saving DD's clothes for years just in case I have a girl in the same season next time. So saving so much clothing was a waste of space for me.
