What are you doing with the newborn sized stuff your LO has outgrown? Are you boxing it up and saving it or are you selling it or donating it or giving it away...?
Lily still wears o-3 and has been wearing some 3-6, so I haven't put away anything of hers yet. It seems silly to me to hold on to it, especially b/c I have SO much, so I'm kind of thinking I'll drop it off at a consignment shop or something. I haven't decided yet.

Kingston has outgrown everything so fast. I boxed his stuff up. I cant seem to let go of it. I have a small fortune in clothing. I also dont think I could get what I want money wise for them. Its all baby gap stuff and most of it worn ONCE. I cant justify selling for only a few bucks when I paid nearly 20 bucks for each item.

Mia has grown out of a lot of her clothes, I donated all her peemie clothes, to the IMCN (nicu) where she stayed right after being born. My girl friend is havinga baby in August so she is getting all Mia's hand me downs, besides the preemie clothes.

I'm going to box it up and sell it if #3 is a boy. Both girls wear Gymboree, & Gap almost exclusively and you tend to do better selling it later when it's older hard to find lines.
Marissa's 6-12 & 12-18 winter 2006 & spring/summer 2007 stuff will sell great when Mattea is done wearing it.

I'm saving EVERYTHING! We want at least two more kids.. and since DH's family hasn't had a girl in the last 22 years, I'm assuming we'll have at least one more boy.. haha. All his 0-3 month stuff and some of his 3-6 month is in a Rubbermaid tote to be put in our storage room.

We boxed all NB, 0-3 and 3-6.
He's wearing 6-9 and 12 months so all the rest had to say "later!!"
I'm saving it for our next, except a couple Tommy Hilfiger baby jeans and polos we bought for Max and he didn't get the chance to wear them (always thinking it was too big and when I tried them on they were too small  )... So those I sent to my brother, who's having his first baby (also a boy) in August.

I bought a bin and I'm putting the clothes in it as she outgrows them. I'm saving everything for our next babies. Her newborn clothes are all gender neutral so if we have boys they can still wear those and I'll sell the rest when we are done having babies.

I'm boxing it up and saving it for my sister or sil if they want it. Other than that I'll probably just give it away. I'm too lazy and don't have enough patience to sell things.

I'm saving it. The babies have just begun in my family so I'm sure I'll have someone who will need it in the future. Some of the things though, I wont even give away.

We have boxed and saved ours in case we decide to have another. Though I was straightening up this week and realized the massive amounts of clothing we have for Owen. I have a lot that he never wore, still has tags. I may take a trip up to NICU and donate all his newborn clothes that we never used to them.

I'll definitely be saving it. Maddie is the 6th baby girl on my side, so chances are we'll have another girl! I also plan to rummage through stuff my sister has for her twins since they'll be her last. I am thinking of reselling stuff I bought used, like her play mat and excersaucer, I didn't pay much for them and neither breaks down to be much smaller.

I've boxed it up in Rubbermaid containers that I labeled with the sizes. That way it will be easy to pull out the boxes we need when the next one comes along.

Saving them in case we have another girl or other babies in the family. There are pieces though that I won't give up and will continue to save for when Jenna has her own babies. My mom did that for me and I found it super cute! Just some favorite pieces though and a blanket.
Right now, I'm storing all of her outgrown clothes in a Rubbermaid storage bin. I do need to sub-sort them by age though...like bag them up and then put them back in the bin.
I even have a FULL rubbermaid storage box of BRANDNEW stuff but luckily it's all bigger sizes and should fit in time for winter.

I had most of mine sorted by size but then I bought space bags and I think they kind of all got mixed up again. So, they are in space bags in plastic boxes out in the shed. I have another basket in my closet of things that he can't wear now. Yesterday I put in a 6-9 month onesie that I bought from BRU. It must have shrunk big time in the wash. He only wore it once.

We're saving her stuff in case our next is a girl. I've also boxed up some random items I'm not fond of and either sell or donate them.

I have a whole method. Every season I go through the kids stuff and sort through what fits, what doesn't, what's being donated and what's being sold. I am sorta kinda a bit of a snob when it comes to kid clothes, so most of the stuff I buy for them is Gap, Gymboree, TCP, Carters, etc. It has really good resale value on ebay. Sometimes I bring it to Once Upon A Child, but they really jip you on most items. Anything that isn't in near perfect condition gets folded up and thrown in a bag and we drop it off at a local goodwill.
It has been a nice way to make a little extra cash... and supports my shopping habit.
