    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?

    I kept DS homecoming outfit, and other nice sentimental things that have a nice memory attached (first Christmas, birthday etc) and nicer 'label' things that are still in good nick.

    Everything else, stained or just not that special to me I gave to a friend who had a boy....she can do what she pleases with them too.

    I will probably end up going through the boxes again at some stage as I know that Bub #2 is a pink one
