In the first year, yes, he had too much. Now, I learned my lesson and have scaled back a lot. I would much rather spend my cash on taking him to the zoo or a play area, rather than buying a ton of clothes he's not going to wear.

We don't have anyone handing anything down to us, so it's all out of our pockets.

We didn't get many hand me downs at all - I'm so jealous of you! LO had too many 3-6 month clothes b/c of all the gifts we rec'd; she barely wore anything more than twice. I need to see what she has in terms of 6-12 months now...

@HeatherlovesKenny: oh my lanta!!!

Nope. I've been good about taking stock of what he needs and buying just those items. We probably have a little more than we *need* but definitely not too much. He's also in an awkward stage right now where he doesn't fit into 3 mos but 6 mos is still too big, except in Carters. But we don't have a lot of 6 mos carters items.

I've been good at having just enough. I buy a lot from our local consignment shop, so I usually go in and replace things as he grows out of them. He's 17 months now and in 2T. For the summer he had about 10 onesies, 4 pairs of shorts and 4-5 one piece/rompers, plus a couple of things for cooler weather. For winter I'm planning for 5-6 pairs of pants, whatever short sleeve onesies still fit, 7-8 long sleeve onesies, a hoodie, 2 sweaters, and a couple of long sleeve shirts.

We do laundry twice a week, so it seems to be the right amount for him to really get use out of the clothes, but also have enough so that we aren't searching for something for him to wear.
