We aren't done BUT we are planning on moving before baby #3, so we needed to get rid of it for storage reasons. I told her to let me know before she gets rid of it to see if I want to just buy it back (so ridiculous ha but we decide don a 99% sure #3 after we sold it, at the time we were just a maybe so I was like I'm done storing this and she needs/wants it.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-rid-of-baby-gear#post-2413762 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 10:11:45 +0000 catomd00 2413762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted it gome once we were done using it even though we were planning on more kids! I can't wait to get rid of all of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-rid-of-baby-gear#post-2413683 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 09:11:17 +0000 Adira 2413683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Immediately!!</p> <p>I have a friend who's son is 4 months younger than Logan, so as soon as he grows out of clothes, I give them to her. With baby gear, we got rid of a bunch recently to a friend who's due soon. Although I still have the baby tub... I need to just toss it because it's broken! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-rid-of-baby-gear#post-2413678 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 09:00:25 +0000 Finfan 2413678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our last baby (#2) is 9 weeks old. I'm a little torn about getting rid of things. I would like us to explore being foster parents when our girls are older so it would be nice to keep some things (and we have a large basement so we can).</p> <p>On the other hand, it feels so good to give away things! DH wants to give things to goodwill as baby outgrows them but it might be nice to save them in case our one local friend decides to have another baby since we have passed things back and forth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-rid-of-baby-gear#post-2413580 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 05:12:04 +0000 Truth Bombs 2413580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just had our second (and last) baby seven weeks ago, I fully intend to sell or donate all baby stuff as soon as he outgrows it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-rid-of-baby-gear#post-2413561 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 01:14:11 +0000 LindsayLou 2413561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not done yet, but I imagine that we'll be hanging onto stuff for a while. We're the first of our friends, and first of our siblings to have kids, so we'll keep stuff to pass along. I also think I'll have a hard time letting go, as we're likely to have less kids than my ideal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-rid-of-baby-gear#post-2413558 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 00:54:56 +0000 lamariniere 2413558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much the second we don't need something, I list it for sale or give it away if I know someone who can use it. Our apartment isn't huge and I love getting rid of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-rid-of-baby-gear#post-2413499 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 22:38:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2413499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have younger sisters, including ine who will be ttc really soon, so I'm sending everything her way! We are 98% sure we are done but it's nice that we could get it back if we change our minds. We live in a condo with very little storage so not hanging on to things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-rid-of-baby-gear#post-2413382 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 20:41:16 +0000 bunnylove 2413382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really torn about this atm... We were one and done before I got pg. I then had a terrible pregnancy, horrible labour and really rough recovery which only solidified my position. She's a sweet kid and fairly easy to look after but I'm 98% sure she will be it for us. She's 6 months and out of the bassinet, swing seat and baby bath. I've listed them for sale online but still have this uncertainty of getting rid of them. Crazy really. So, in a round about way, the answer to your question is not long at all, as soon as she outgrew it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-rid-of-baby-gear#post-2413344 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 19:44:48 +0000 Bao 2413344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once we decided we were done having kids, right when LO outgrew things we go rid of them. We had space to store some stuff but the big bulky things like the swing, infant car seat, bouncy, jumperoo etc just got in the way. It was a little sad seeing it go, but I knew there was no point in keeping it. We do still have the highchair although LO sits at a booster at the table now, but I think high chairs are nice to have around....especially since we have friends with LO's and it's not in the way. We are keeping some baby toys that are classics, for future grandkids! </p>
