    Hi Candice,

    It's not until you wash all the baby clothes that you realise just how many you have and how quickly they accumulate.... it's been some time now since i have had to wash all those cute baby clothes but i do remember doing them and getting so excited about the impending arrival of my little one!!!

    Anyway onto how do you sort the clothes, well for me i got all size 0000 , all size 000, all size 00 and so on and put them all together....the clothes that we needed straight away went into the wardrobe on hangers and the rest went in the drawers starting at the top first and working my way down, so pretty much each size had it's own draw ykwim. It's hard to know though and it is quite over whelming but once your little princess arrives you will have more idea of what you will and wont need straight away.

    Goodluck!

    I put all the 00 or larger clothes in a box in the spare room cause i have so much 0000 and 000
    top drawer is booties beanies singlets
    next drawer is short sleeved onesies
    next drawer is long sleeved onesies
    next drawer is seperates e.g. tops and bottoms/leggings
    bottom drawer is seperates for winter e.g. wooly jumpers/trackpants
    just seems logical to me but everyones different

    I have those drawer isnerts/dividers from ikea, because the drawers we have for bub are huge, so that way I can keep everything seperate even if its all in the same drawer.

    For DS, I had it organised pretty uch the way Kazbah has described.

    :yeahthat:
    I arranged them by size too...so all the 0 were at the bottom of each pile, then the 00, then 0 (Charlotte was already to long for most 0000 size things when she was born)

    How fun is it washing and sorting all the little clothes though!??? *cluckitycluck*

    I hang up all clothes that will, so all tops, onsies, dresses, jackets etc. in draws i have socks and booties, next draw is singlets/snap up slinlglets, then pants and skirts, bibs, etc. As I did not have alot of space my dd#3 draws are actualy the plastic ones you can get from kmart that stack up and are in a part of my linen cupboard.

    Mine are in sizes depending on what bub is wearing... Before birth I had size 0000 & 000 in the top drawer so it was easily accessable. This included any bigger sizes that seemed to be around the same size, so 00 Bonds suits would be with them as Bonds are usually smaller. The next drawer was 00, then 0, then 1 or bigger.

    Now it's size 0 summer things in top drawer & winter in second drawer, then size 1 in the other drawers (they are bigger clothes so take more space one they are in size 0 +). Hanging space is the same left hand side is what currently fits, spare hangers in the middle then bigger clothes (I have some hand-me-downs up to size 4) on the right. Easy for me & also easy for daddy to find the right size

    Wow. Thanks everyone. Seems like these systems are a little complicated LOL, especially when the different brands have different sizings. I'm sure when she gets here, all her clothes will eventually just end up in piles!
