I never fold anything so I just rummage through it. I do hang his nicer button down shirts and some sweatshirts. I guess I also hang his coats. Otherwise, everything has a drawer so it's not too big of a mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626969 Sat, 10 May 2014 21:40:37 +0000 Beehive 1626969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep most things in drawers - long sleeved things in one, short sleeved in another, pants in a third, pjs and sweaters in a fourth - the only things we hang are things that wrinkle, like button-down shirts with collars. Also coats/jackets are hung. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626958 Sat, 10 May 2014 21:26:06 +0000 Pepper 1626958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Onesies, sleepers, socks and sweatpants/causal shirts in the top drawer.<br /> Sleepsacks, larger PJ sets for when he's older in the second drawer<br /> Sheets in the third drawer</p> <p>All other clothes hung in the closet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626932 Sat, 10 May 2014 20:52:59 +0000 GrapeCrush 1626932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I have one of each, and feel the same about both the boys and girls sets. . . I want them together. I don't even know why really. It bothers me when people who dress them separate them. . . Like I know that top belongs with different bottoms haha</p> <p>The only boys sets my son has now(he's 2) are like 'workout' sets(not sure what to call them) or sets with shorts, and most of the shorts are khaki, so they seem to match fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626866 Sat, 10 May 2014 20:09:45 +0000 Mae 1626866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Onesies and pants that came with onesies are in drawers, dresses, and shirts and shirt/pant combos are hung up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626821 Sat, 10 May 2014 19:29:38 +0000 blackbird 1626821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost everything is hung up, but now we're putting shorts and pajamas in drawers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626816 Sat, 10 May 2014 19:25:03 +0000 artsyfartsy 1626816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jammies, onesies, and pants go in the dresser.

Everything gets hung up except for 4 drawers:</p> <p>1) Pajamas<br /> 2) Leggings and jeans<br /> 3) Play/Casual tops<br /> 4) Socks/tights and odd pieces </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626756 Sat, 10 May 2014 18:31:17 +0000 hilsy85 1626756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both. Closet is for sleepers, Anything that zips or buttons (coats, sweaters, shirts), and stuff that is still too big. Dresser is for everything else. Our dresser is our changing table, so it was easier to have more everyday stuff right at hand while changing him.<br /> Top drawer: diaper stuff, two piece pjs (although he didn't start wearing those til 8 months or so), socks, undershirts, burp cloths<br /> 2nd drawer: current clothes<br /> 3rd drawer: stuff that was too big, extra crib sheets, moby wrap, ring sling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626730 Sat, 10 May 2014 18:05:03 +0000 Foodnerd81 1626730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly dresser but we have more dresser space than closet, and her changing table is the dresser so it's more convenient. I only hang dresses and sweaters and coats. </p> <p>I do keep sets (like Carter's sets) together, it's just easier, though occasionally I mix them up. And yes she's a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626720 Sat, 10 May 2014 17:53:05 +0000 sandy 1626720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she was super little I hung all her outfits as a set. What a waste of time and energy. I bought the baby hangers from Target and then bought hanger clips to attach so I could keep pants and tops together. It ended up being a waste bc I kept her in footed sleepers pretty much 24/7 for the first few months. I had daytime ones that were cotton and colorful and bedtime ones were fleece. She was born in November and it was pretty cold for several months. Even as she got older I hated outfits that were onesies and pants. As she got older I would put her in leggings and a top...some matched and some didn't. I ended up buying a lot of jeggings and neutral leggings that went with a lot of her tops </p> <p>So for the first year of her life I definitely preferred the dresser. Ours has 6 drawers </p> <p>Onesies - short sleeve and long sleeve. Also plain shirts for layering<br /> Pjs and sleep sacks<br /> Pants<br /> Daytime sleepers and sirts<br /> Cloth diapers and burp cloths<br /> Sheets </p> <p>Now that she's older I hang all of her tops and dresses. We still use the dresser a lot though</p> <p>Pjs<br /> Socks and underwear<br /> Plain shirts for layering<br /> Pants<br /> Pull ups for nap/bedtime </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626676 Sat, 10 May 2014 17:01:01 +0000 Dandelion 1626676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put too big stuff in the closet and keep M's current clothes in the dresser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626675 Sat, 10 May 2014 17:00:36 +0000 Smurfette 1626675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One drawer pjs, one pants, onesies/shirts, diapers, burb cloths, and one for day care clothes. Then we hang rompers, outfits, dresses, nice outfits, etc. we also have a hanging closet organizer that has A&amp;A blankets, onesies, other blankets, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626666 Sat, 10 May 2014 16:53:50 +0000 spaniellove 1626666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those of you who feel strongly about sets, is your LO a girl? (just curious!) These boy sets don't seem very...matchy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626660 Sat, 10 May 2014 16:47:35 +0000 tinyperson 1626660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both! We have a dresser full of pants and tops and casual dresses for the summer, and then her closet has her dressier items or hang up tops and skirts. We kept her onesies out when she was smaller and we keep her jammies out in a basket on the dresser where her change pad is for easy access. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626649 Sat, 10 May 2014 16:35:46 +0000 Kimberlybee 1626649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hang all her dresses, tutus, and whatever I consider too pretty to be folded. I fold T-shirts, leggings, jeggings, onesies, shorts, and skirts. P-Js are also folded and have a separate drawer. I also hang up everything that has been hoarded for next season or bigger sizes (the tags are still on them usually). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626647 Sat, 10 May 2014 16:30:51 +0000 Charm54 1626647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put pyjamas , onesies(long and short sleeved) &amp; pants in the dresser.

Dresses, shirts, rompers, sets(I hate hate hate when sets get separated!) get hung. I fold pants and put them on a shelf in the closet. Onesies, pajamas, swim stuff all goes in drawers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626637 Sat, 10 May 2014 16:18:20 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1626637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both!</p> <p>I put all her pajamas in one drawer. Another is all pants/shorts. </p> <p>Onesies were folded and put in drawers. </p> <p>T-shirts and dresses get hung! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closet-vs-dresser-put-away-vs-out-in-open-organizing-baby-clothes#post-1626578 Sat, 10 May 2014 15:17:15 +0000 spaniellove 1626578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help! I can't seem to make sense of what to do with this stuff. If you have a dresser and a closet, how do you break it all up? I'm curious to know how you guys do it. Do you keep sets together? Break them up? Somehow I ended up with ten million onesies but really hate putting things in drawers. </p>
