As LO2 outgrows baby gear (Jumperoo, car seat, infant toys etc) I've been giving them away to anyone who wants them. I'm a little sad to see these things go because it's a reminder my baby is growing up, but I'm loving having the space back. I just hope I don't regret getting rid of these things in the future!
Do you regret getting rid of any baby gear?

I don't regret because I am not having another kid, but I felt sad when I do - like I am giving a piece of my memory away. Recently I just gave my Medela pump to a friend who is pregnant with a second child. That pump went through with me on thick and thin and I cried and laughed with it. Sounds pathetic huh 
For now I am still holding onto my boppy pillow. I have no idea why but it is there. Maybe I'll give it away when LO goes to college or something.

I'm planning on at least one more so I'm not giving any gear away. We did give away the sit in walker because my Canadian aunt wanted one for her granddaughter. But I just asked for one for DD 2 for Christmas.

DS1 wasn't a big bib user so we gave a ton away, but DS2 still needs them at 16m so I've bought a ton! Oh well. No regrets on giving/selling the other stuff

Usually when I'm giving gear away, because its been sitting in the way, unused for too long. Since it improves my living space, I'm usually more than happy to see it go.

I question myself every time I give something away. I'm positive that we're two and through, but sometimes the thought of a third creeps up on me. I'm trying to slowly sell or give everything away to resist temptation.

Nope! And we are constantly getting rid of stuff. Unless I know that we are very likely to use it again, it goes!

My mom finally gave away all of my brother's gear when he was six years old because their family was complete at 3. The NEXT MONTH she found out she was 8 weeks pregnant with me when she thought she had the flu!!!!!! Surprise surprise!!!

Not yet, although LO is only 7.5 mo. But I keep getting rid of everything as soon as she's done with it. I hate clutter. I figure if we have another we'll get it back from friends or buy what we really want from a resale shop.

I can't wait to get rid of the jumperoo in the kitchen! We'll just buy another used one for baby number 2. I hate clutter.

Never! I hate clutter! I just rounded up a bunch of infant toys today that I am going to try to give away in the next few weeks. I also need to sell our bouncer and play table.

Ugh I can't wait to give away our big gear. We're storing it in LO's closet (no where else to put it) and it's so hard getting in and out of there because of all the gear! I do get sad when I give away or sell some of her clothes just because I wish I could keep it all, but that's just not practical...I've kept some stuff, though.

My new mantra is don't give the stuff away until you've either taken permanent measures or your birthmom has!

I can't wait to get rid of some stuff!!! Not everything, though, since we still want more. I need some of the space back, though!

I would love to get rid of stuff but my fear is we'll regret it! I can't say we are 100% done.

I gave lots of great gear away because we didn't want a cluttered 2 bedroom condo. I regret it now because DH's coworker and good friend really needs any baby gear he can get. He just became a 2nd time dad with a surprise baby at 50 years old. He's actually a grandfather already but recently became involved with a much younger girlfriend who is pregnant with his baby. He's a great guy who raised his granddaughter so his daughter could finish college. His kids will be 26 years apart. The friend I gave it to didn't really need it, she just wanted double of everything to leave at the babysitter's house. I guess I could of reorganized to store some of those things but it felt so overwhelming at the time.

A little bummed I sold the snap n go, but we have the car seat adapter for both single and double city mini so it really isn't needed. I sold it before I knew we were having a second!

I haven't given anything away and I won't until I'm sure we are done with having babies. And by that, I mean my tubes will be tied!
