And sleepers are all in one drawer but sorted by size. Also have a drawer for swaddles and sleep sacks. We have a lot of drawers.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-414366 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:33:09 +0000 eeh 414366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Socks are in a drawer in a plastic shoe box, drawers are sorted by size (3 mo, 6, 9, everything else). Obviously this changes as she outgrows stuff. When that happens I grab the next size up that isn't already in a drawer and replace it. Drawers contain bloomers, leggings, pants, onesies. I hang up everything else and sort that by size. Towels, washcloths, medicine, ointment, etc are in he bathroom which is where we change her. I also keep a tub in her closet which I fill as she outgrows items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-414337 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 07:54:42 +0000 kml636 414337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the munchkin closet hanging organizer.

Her drawers and organized by size and type of item. Right now, she has 4 drawers of 6-9 and 4 of 9-12. I have a drawer each of sleeper/rompers/jumpsuits, onesies (in stacks of short sleeve and long sleeve), pants (seperated into stacks of legginga, fleece pants and jeans), and shirts/hoodies/sweaters. </p> <p>Her closet is done by size also. I have hanging dividers. I hang up dresses, coats, and any nicer outifts. Like, she has a ton of little Gymboree outfits that are a slight step up from just everyday wear, so they get hung up. </p> <p>Mostly, I hang stuff because her drawers are packed. Girlfriend has an extensive wardrobe. Lol. I have to stay on top of packing/selling/donating when she outgrows stuff because I have no place for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-414136 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 23:27:15 +0000 doodlepoodle 414136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: So true :) There's a pic on my facebook somewhere of J in his stripes/plaid (if you remember since I changed my name on HB from WB) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-414131 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 23:26:59 +0000 PrincessBaby 414131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to try ikea tomorrow!

Love.<br /> I did pretty much the same as everyone else....<br /> Hung formal stuff according to size<br /> Folded jeans/pjs and Onesies in size organized drawers<br /> Used divider baskets from Ikea for socks and loose stuff and then put them in his two top drawers<br /> Then I used the drawers in his bathroom for all lotions and soaps/shampoos<br /> And use the little closet in the bath for all his burp rags,towels,and wash cloths<br /> Oh...and I put all blankets and boxes of diapers on the shelves in his closet (up at the top where your supposed to put folded clothes)<br /> Thanks to my husband...this organization technique has to be redone every week because he just can.not.follow.it...for the life of him:/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-414084 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 22:48:27 +0000 Arden 414084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the drawer organizers from IKEA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-414063 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 22:30:13 +0000 doodlepoodle 414063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: No, he was pretty small at first, just long and skinny (83% height, 63% weight haha!) but he's started to chunk out. He could still wear NB at 4-6 weeks because he was so long/lean. Now he's quickly growing out of his 6 mo clothes at 5 mo. Chunky monkey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-414061 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 22:29:13 +0000 prettylizy 414061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have socks in the same drawer as leg warmers and some receiving blankets. The socks are in a basket in that drawer. </p> <p>Pants are in the drawer below that. All shirts and pj's are in cubby drawers in the closet.

My son is 9 mos old and still fits in 3-6 mos onesies!!</p> <p>I ended up just keeping his current size in the drawers/closet so as not to get confused. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-414057 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 22:27:55 +0000 matador84 414057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got great dividers for drawers from target.

TRUE. I love the man, but he does NOT read sizes. I actually had to label the baskets in the drawers "3mo onesies-ok" "6mo onesies-not ok" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-414021 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 22:09:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 414021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: bahahaha "He put a 6 mo onesie on our 4 week old baby." totally lol'ed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-414008 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 22:04:17 +0000 doodlepoodle 414008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: OH old shoe boxes is SO smart. Why did I waste the money on little baskets?! lol! </p> <p>@PrincessBaby: I had to "daddy-proof" the drawers. We're talking baskets, labels, etc. etc. He put a 6 mo onesie on our 4 week old baby. I mean serrrriously. I have both a dresser and clothes hung up in the closet. Closet is mostly: matching outfits (pant/shirt sets on the same hanger-daddy proof), overalls and nice dress shirts. Dresser is organized with little baskets inside for socks, plain white onesies, sleepers and then pants/shirts that aren't matching sets. Daddy isn't allowed to use those. Ever. I came home from work to find J wearing stripes and plaids. The only colors that matched were the white spots. Lord help me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-413998 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 21:57:52 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 413998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just had shelving, First shelf had boxes with little stuff: socks, hats, bibs.

I hang the nicer outfits or anything that has to go together. If an outfit is more casual and can be mixed with other pieces I've found those all end up in the dresser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-413980 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 21:46:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 413980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use old shoe boxes for organizing socks, legwarmers and shoes. </p> <p>In the early days his drawers/closet was organized by size- NB in the top drawer, 2nd drawer was 0-3 mos and so on. </p> <p>Now that he's older I socks, leg warmers, swimsuit and hats in the top drawer<br /> short and long sleeve shirts in the second drawer with shorts<br /> pants/jeans and sweatshirts in the third drawer<br /> and in the last drawer is clothes in the next size up so I have them on hand as he grows. </p> <p>In the closet: I hang one-piece outfits (romper style), sweaters, dress shirts, jackets and coats.</p> <p>I also bought a hanging organized where fold all his onesies in little fabric drawers. </p> <p>However on my wishlist are those awesome wood or cardboard dividers: like these: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Expandable-Drawer-Dividers-Natural-Available/dp/B002EIX12U/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1353897951&#038;sr=8-7&#038;keywords=wood+drawer+divider" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Expandable-Drawer-Dividers-Natural-Available/dp/B002EIX12U/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1353897951&#038;sr=8-7&#038;keywords=wood+drawer+divider</a></p> <p>I know they sell them at target too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-413978 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 21:46:34 +0000 lawbee11 413978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually added this post to my favorites awhile ago for future reference.

Right now, 1 drawer is short sleeves, 1 is long sleeves, 1 is bottoms/pants, 1 is sleepers/one piece outfits. We use his dresser as the changing table so diapers/cream/etc is in 1 drawer and the last drawer is extra crib sheets and a few extra receiving blankets. I have a basket on top with an open pack of wipes/lotion. I would hang up button down shirts, but his closet doesn't have that yet :) I do keep towels and washcloths in the bathroom. Oh, and I have a little divider thing in a drawer with socks too. Hope that helps a little! Sometimes the drawers get rearranged when I change out the sizes, but this is how it is right now!</p> <p>ETA: I have a bin of the next size up in his closet and a bin to put things he has outgrown as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-los-closetdrawers#post-413970 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 21:42:31 +0000 PrincessBaby 413970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: The ironing will be the death of me!

Then each drawer is organized by size and then style. Anything of nicer quality is hung up in her closet(and p.s.

And how do you organize the drawers? Like if your mother sent you 800 pairs of tiny baby socks- do you buy organizational dividers for that "loose" stuff? And do you keep blankets/towels/washcloths in the nursery/drawers or in the bathroom? </p> <p>I have 1000 Billion tiny articles of Dreft-washed baby items to organize and put up tomorrow and I want it to be functional!</p> <p>Any suggestions for drawer organizers or pics are appreciated! </p>
