I saved everything! I had a boy and once I found out I was having a DD next I went thru and picked out anything I might be able to use for her then gave the rest away! My DD wore all his pjs and lots of his pants and shirts!

I'm saving everything for LO #2. It's a lot of boy stuff, but the neutrals are great. After #2 uses them, they'll be given away and only sentimental outfits will be saved.

I'm saving the favorites, and some staples. Everything else, I'll return to the previous owners (if they would appreciate them back) or consign.

I saved all of his nicer things and zipper/footed PJs. My second one will need different clothes in the beginning because of the season though.

I am saving everything.

I saved everything, but I had another girl and I am honestly so sick of the clothes from #1 that I donated most of them and bought #2 new clothes. The seasons are also a bit off.

But I would save the majority of the clothes you have (if you have space) because you never know. The things that I reused the most were swaddles, sleep sacks, PJs, bibs, burp cloths, and blankets.

I'm saving everything for now. I received a bunch of hand me downs from my nephews (luckily for me both were team green so they both had lots of gender neutral stuff early on that I use for my daughter). So, I'll save and pass on the favor if one of my sisters has a girl or if I can reuse for number two. Most stuff so far really isn't that seasonal anyway. You can wear little cotton outfits year round.

We are considering renting a small storage unit anyway, and if we don't, will probably bring it to my parents basement until we have a second.

I'm saving sentimental favorites and high quality things, I think potential 2nd kid could use them regardless of sex! Otherwise, I don't really know what to do with the nice items I'm attached to.

I saved almost all of my older son's clothes for our new baby, which turned out to be the same gender. What I've found is that YDS is able to wear maybe 50% of the clothes from his older brother due to either sizing is off, season is off or just plain the clothes look really worn or has a stain I did not see earlier (i.e. white onesies where after they have been washed and packed way for a bit miraculously have yellow stains).

So yes, I did save almost all the clothes, but once I got a feel for what YDS would be wearing, I quickly started packing up the clothes that I knew he wouldn't wear and donated them.

(FYI - we are maxed out at 2 kids, so that is the reason for donating)

@Cchoi4: just FYI you are finding yellowed stains after they are packed away, soak those clothes in oxy clean for several hours, then wash as usual. It will get rid of almost all the yellow stains! I had a bunch of had me downs like that- I think formula stains extra bad bc if the iron, but oxy clean took it right out!

I think I must be the exception - I just ditched a lot of LOs stuff! In fairness, he grew at a pretty steady rate so most of his things were pretty worn by the time he grew out of them. I did keep one of his teeny shirts though and swatches from some of his first little things. Also storage was at a premium for us so that is probably part of it!

We saved everything and are reusing everything. This LO got a couple new outfits but it was so much easier and cheaper just throwing things in the wash then trying to buy a new wardrobe. My first was a summer baby and second is a late fall baby so a lot of stuff we just throw a sweater over. We would have reused a lot even if #2 was a boy (#1 is a girl).

@Foodnerd81: I will def try that! Thanks!!
