Saving baby gear if anticipating a 3 yr gap?

    We live in a small apartment and still saved everything. It’s really weird to me now trying to sell/give away stuff that lo2 is growing out of!

    I’m saving the stuff I really liked and got some use out or I think should have for a baby even if LO didn’t really use it. Selling things I know we aren’t going to use has been a lot of fun. In a way I am already curating Baby #2 stuff.

    We just had our first baby in April and for the big ticket items we purchased gender neutral things. We also did a TON of research and bought high quality items. We plan to use everything again when we decide on baby #2.

    We saved our gear and started TTC when our son was almost two. We have been dealing with infertility, including two miscarriages, for over a year and a half. I am so close to just throwing everything out.

    We have a 2 year 9 month age gap and I’m so glad I kept everything. It definitely took up a lot of space but it was nice having 95% of what we needed ready to go. I was so anxious to find out the sex, because we had stacks of boxes of boy clothes piled in the baby’s room. As it turned out we had a girl born in a different season, so most of that had to go.

    Will future LO have their own room? We store all of our stuff for future LO's in the bedroom that would become theie room. It is more out of the way than thw garage or basement.

    We saved a lot of it but the only big space item we had was our swing. We live/lived in small apartments so everything else had to be able to fit in closets.

    I kept most of th bigger stuff (crib, pack n play, jumperoo). I'm glad I kept all that stuff. I regret keeping things like bottles, nipples, feeding supplies- a lot of it looked really old and worn out (4 year age gap) so I tossed it out and bought new.

    I would only save the bigger ticket items
