I did. We were trying to sell our house at this time last year so I got rid of the big baby items since they took up too much room. The infant bath, bouncer, exersaucer, swing, infant car seat were some of items we donated (I think the swing I posted on craigslist).
I'm kicking myself now!! I suppose we could have gotten a storage unit but we had no idea when we would have had a third child, or if we were two and through at that point. I wish we at least still had the swing!

We gave a lot of outgrown baby clothes and gear to a couple of D's coworkers.

We have been handed down a ton of baby gear from my sister and my SIL, so as C outgrows it, I give it to my parents to store! My dad grumbles but I tell him we won't have another baby unless he can store it until we do 
I wouldn't feel right selling stuff that was given to me in the first place, so even once we are done with it for sure, I'd just save it for the next sibling to have a baby (I have 2 younger sisters who will likely have children in the not so distant future, but probably after we have #2).

Yes! We sold/donated a ton (infant car seat, crib, changing table) even though our LO's are only going to be 21 months apart....kind of dumb looking back but it is fun getting to buy new stuff

We're in the process of selling lots of baby stuff even though I know I still want another baby. It's annoying that we're going to have to re-buy but it's not worth it to move the stuff since I would then have to pay to store it.

Not yet. DH just asked me what I wanted to do with the NB clothes LO has outgrown already and I looked at him like a deer caught in headlights.

DH won't let me sell any of the old clothing so it is taking over the kids room. We have sold some of the gear that we won't likely use again even if we decide to have more LO (although I say we are done).

@HLK208: I wish we were closer so you could just borrow ours!!!
We didn't feet rid of anything but let a very good friend of mine borrow lots of big ticket items (car seats, swing, tubs of clothes) bc their pregnancy was unplanned and our stuff was just sitting in storage, might as well help out!

Some stuff we'll keep, but a lot of stuff I'm selling to the second hand baby store in our neighborhood. We don't have a lot of storage space in our apartment, and we can really use the cash at the moment!

We have a storage unit and attic so we are keeping all the gear until we are done having kids. My mum kept some toys and gear from when I was little. We may sell some when we are done but we shall see.
