    DS2 is the classic hand me down kid
    My DH just the other day asked me to go out and shop for him
    DS1 short and skinny DS2 Little and stocky. He manages to fit into most things still.
    Some things are really hard to get so if I had them for DS1 I would keep them no matter what, like onesies without the envelope shoulders.
    Things like socks and I kept DS1's old jocks for TT DS2 (very handy!)
    I went through and picked all the best stuff and kept it, put it in boxes in the right sizes and anything else either got thrown out or given to DH to use as rags.
    And if they were still ok just not what I wanted anymore...Salvo's.

    I can see myself keeping everything!! I'll probably have other babies but I do have trouble letting go of things anyway. I always have a little cry when DS goes up a size

    I have pretty much done the same. As they grow out of clothes the ones that are badly marked, lost shape etc get tosssed, ok things I donate to daycare for spares, and good stuff I have kept. I have lots of plastic storage containers full of clothes.

    Luckily for me I have 3 boys, that being said even if you do have a baby in another season it might be a different size and you may still get some wear out of them. Better to still have them than get rid of them and regret it.

    We have vaccume bags in every size for every season.

    I have 3 girls, so everything has been recycled at some point. But #3 is definietly my last so as she grows out of a size I sell the name brand, donate the clean stuff and throw the rest.

    I have started to be ruthless now, even with the bigger sizes and cull anything that doesn't match the rest.

    i've kept most of DD's clothes in case we had another DD, i've given some to my older sister for her DD, i've sold some the clothes and given some things to charity.

    I have mine kept in suitcases per size. I have the 000's to go through and sell what I can, donate or chuck.

    Its been sitting there for about a month now - just looking at me. Procrastinating much?
