My child is only 7 months but I already bought tons of clothes for them all the way up to 4T. With more than 200 tonnes I think (maybe more) items that you do not even wear. I try, things do not get really out of fashion. It’s just hit me today that I do not put more space in your closet, all those clothes. Actually I was kind of shocked because I had bought clothes. No results have money problems or whatever. But I can not stop buying baby / toddler stuff. This is a real problem for others?

   I’m in the same boat… sort of. My daughter is 8 months old and I have bought tons of clothes. I have bags of clothing up till 2 years (well, only one bag of 2T, but all the sizes before that fill up their own bags). Whenever my husband and I go shopping, he tries to pull me away from the baby clothing. Hehe.

   yes – i don’t buy nearly as much as you but can see how it can become a problem. everything is just so dang gone cute! but really as you know babies grow out of clothes in no time and i said forget after my son would only wear something once or twice and then he was too big for it.

   Shopping for anything can be a compulsion. My neice is pregnant and her mother (my sister) has been buying tons of baby clothes. If it is not hurting you financially it’s harmless. You can always have a garage sale soem time to make room for more!

   I dont believe that you can be addicted to buying baby clothing but to keep yourself busy or keep your mind off your husband while he’s deployed to Iraq or elsewhere it can be a form of destress. I’m in the Navy and my wife did the same while I was deployed in Bahrain.

    Watching a baby grow is very exciting, take note that they grow so fast in a way that buying clothes too much of too soon might as well end up to waste since they wont be able to use all of them. Check http://babyschwag.net/ and spend on long term items such as books or furnitures which will serve them longer rather than clothes.
