Spin off from the closet thread... How are LO's clothes organized in a dresser? Do you have bins or dividers somehow? Did you use dresser and closet combined?
-
We have tops in top drawer (long sleeve onesies, short sleeve onesies, long sleeve, t shirts).
Bottoms are in drawer two, then pjs on the bottom. I fold pjs in half and then put them all sideways so I can see all of them at one time. -
@Mrs Green Grass: Do you sub-sort by size then? They all seem so small to fold!!
-
When she was very little I used dividers for onesies, pants and socks. I hung up her sleep sacks and some outfits. Now all her pajamas and pants are in drawers and all of her tops and dresses are hanging in the closet.
-
We use both the closet and a dresser.
For ds1, shirts and jackets are hung in the closet; socks, shoes, and accessories go in the top drawer (in little plastic organizers), pajamas in the second drawer, and pants in the third drawer.
For the twins, we have almost all of their clothes hanging in the closet (by type and size). As far as the dresser, once again socks, mittens and such are in the top drawers, some basic onesies and pants are in the middle drawers and clothes in future sizes are in the bottom drawers. With the twins we actually have a 9-drawer dresser and put the changing table on top of it, so we put some of the diapers and diaper-changing items in the middle drawers.
-
I also liked things folded sideways so I could see all the options. I used the fabric IKEA dividers in the early days, but by 9 months or a year the clothes didn't fit so neatly in those. Then I just stacked in piles of like items - SS onesies, LS onesies, pants, tops, etc. socks and hair bands I kept in the divider bins.
In a six drawer dresser, generally the top two were her current size, the middle were specialty clothes (swimsuits, costumes) and bankers/burp cloths/swaddles, and the bottom two were her next size up and diaper storage. Nice clothes hung in the closet.

@LindsayInNY: I love the Ikea Skubb boxes for organizing baby clothes. Here's a pic of her dresser after I had the nursery complete. I like folding them vertical so I can see everything.
-
Too drawer is shirts, next is pants, then pj's and the bottom drawer is extra crib sheets and blank use. Hoodies and the like are hanging in the closet.
The next size are in a bin in the closet.
-
@mrskc: those skubb boxes are the best! we still use them for socks, undies, pjs, etc.
right now pretty much it's one drawer each for: tops, sweaters, pants, undies/socks/pjs, dresses.

It has transitioned into 6 drawers, one each for socks, underwear, pajamas, tops, bottoms, random off season.
In the newborn days, I had things sorted by size, in each drawer/shelf.
-
We also use both the closet and dresser and Ikea Skubb boxes.
His dresser has three small drawers on the top. They have soft pants in one, socks in another, and bathing suits in the last one.
Then there are two bigger, wide drawers below that which are completely filled with cloth diapers.
-

Top right: diapers

We use the closet, dresser, and the Ikea Skubb boxes. We have the 8-drawer hemnes dresser (which we use as a changing table). LO is 5 months old. I still have most things organized by size.
Small top drawers: 1) diapers and wipes, 2) sleep sacks and swaddles, 3) socks and hats, 4) bibs, burp cloths, pacifiers, etc.
Middle left drawer: newborn & 0-3 month clothes (in denial and haven't put these in storage yet)
Middle right drawer: 3-6 month clothes (onesies, pants, shirts). pants are folded in half and go in smaller skubb boxes, like the ones on the right of @MrsKC's photo. I have two of those, then two of the larger ones: one for long sleeved onesies and one for short sleeved onesies, sweaters, and shirts.
Bottom left drawer: 6-12 month clothes (similar organization as 3-6)
Bottom right drawer: 12+ month clothesCloset: any one-piece outfits (rompers, jon jons, longalls, etc.), all of his sleepers, jackets, sweatshirts, etc. Everything is organized by size (I got those size organizer things off etsy).

@mrskc: I love how that looks!! I bought those boxes at Ikea. Just need to organize and fill them up now I guess! Do you have all sizes together or separated somehow?
-
@LindsayInNY: I just keep her current size in her dresser. Since she didn't have too much newborn size, I put all newborn size in a drawer (which is the pic I posted). Then 0-3 months in the bottom two drawers. As she grew out of newborn, I moved up the 3 month sized stuff. I store future sizes in a tote in the garage or in bins in her closet. I like having everything separated by size then by type of clothing item.
-
