Sort by size & color
what i do is put everything in it’s own section. my baby’s onesies in one pile, then his pants, shorts, socks, little undershirts have their own piles. all of his sleepers and shirts i hang up…..it’s worked for me!
Go through them monthly! If you have that many baby clothes, you might consider giving some to someone in need!
find a couple cardboard boxes. organize them by age. 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12. thats what i did. once they start to grow out of them i put them in the cordinating box and put them in the closet. if you have too much clothing your baby will probably never wear some of them. i know there are something my son never wore. i do his laundry every week and he ends up just wearing the same 5 or 6 outfits all the time.
organize by size. When they are first born wash and put away 0-3 months in there drawers. Also have the 3-6 months washed and ready so when he outgrows the smaller size you can easily rotate them. Then keep all the others in plastic storage bins labeled 6-9 months, 12 months, etc. I keep my storage under the crib. Just keep in mind that there will always be that one outfit that they just outgrew before they could wear it. No matter how well you were organized.
I separated everything by size. And put the larger sizes and smaller sizes that i wasnt using then into bags according to those sizes and stored them.
It just was easier.
i have the same problem. this is my first child and i have a ton of new clothes and to top that off everytime my mom goes shopping she cant help herself and buys the baby more clothes, when she hasnt had a chance to wear all the new stuff she got at the shower. i want her to be able to wear all her new stuff at least once before she grows out of it.
i put all the nicer outfits in the closet, and put the nicer outfits she cant wear yet to one side.
i put her other clothes like onesies and gowns and sleepers in drawers, and to tell you the truth i have to go through the draws and the closet often to find the things she has grown into and the things she has grown out of.
going through the her stuff often helps me make sure that she gets to wear all her stuff at least once.
sort them by size.
ones that can not be worn put in bags not to be used
the one being worn at the time go in drawers
and the one not yet grown into put into box’s marked with sizes to be put into service when the child is of size.
Some times this requires you to try on a lot of clothes one day to find out what actually fits and what does not, the sizes vary so greatly from one brand to another.
I have everything organized by size and then by article. Even the stuff she’s grown out of is organized that way. For me it’s the most effective.
I have bins for each growth period. As she grows in and out of things they get shifted from the bins to the drawrs/closet and back to the bins. When Sara was born I had a few premee outfits just in case, and the newborn stuff out. I knew it would be a while before she was in 3 month clothes so I didn’t want to clutter things up by having them there.
My daughter has lived in the sleep n’ play pajamas and onsies with pants. Jeans, overalls, and skirts, though cute were usually more trouble than they were worth.
BTW, my daughter never wore dresses, they were too much of a pain for me. Dresses were boxed away usually with tags on. She can have dresses when she’s old enough to pull them down herself.
Sort it like this :
Trousers – in one cubored. (did i spell that right).
Tops – in another
Bibs, nappies e.t.c in another!
I like to have as much stuff hanging as possible and you can use a clear plastic shoe organser for sockies etc.. Rotate the clothing, when you do laundry put the worn item you just washed to the back of the drawer, hang the lil dress to the right side & teach yourself to grab from the left. When you put away laundry in a drawer do not put the things on top of a pile, organise so items are in rows facing you. That way everything gets a wear and nothing gets worn out and faded before outgrown. In the closet you can use sz tabs to hang things that are a lil too big and periodically rotate them in. If you get a sterilte for under the bed or crib, if you are putting away and notice something that is getting small, put it there instead of the dresser.
If you organise by size instead of putting similiar items together, it takes to long for daddy to dress child and also you will need to do more busy work.
It also sounds like you have too much stuff and it would be smart to sit and weed through it one day and sort according to sz and season. Today is 20 cent listing day on ebay. get a move on and get rid of the new with tags stuff. Buy something nice for yourself with the money you make!
Sort all onsies, and sleepers in one drawer…sweaters shirts in another and all the pants in another.
I seperated them all by size and then with each size made corresponding bundles. One for onesies, sleepers, pants, etc. then I put each collection of clothes into to rubbermaid tubs so that when my son outgrows a size then I take the new size clothes out of the tub and put the too small clothes right back into the tub.
