Dh is happy with 2 kids but I can't decide yet
If we do have another it won't be for at least 3 years
Do you keep your baby clothes for the next potential kid or get rid of them ?
I find it hard to let go

Do you have room to store them? I would go through and keep all the clothes which are in excellent condition or have sentimental value, but with the others either throw out or give away. FWIW, there are 7 years between my girls and DD2 wears DD1's old clothes.
I would store them, you never know what your financial situation might be or if you get a "surprise" before 3 years.
I gave away a huge pile to my sister but I know I will get an even bigger pile back :)
I'm keeping everything and only giving to my sisters (who I know will look after things). I am not sure how many babies I want but I am very sentimental about clothes and I have the storage.
I still hope DH will change mind on a 3rd but I am getting rid of most stuff and have allready got rid of lots.
I need the storage space as we dont have much space and still may never get him to change mind.
Kept them - if nothing else, they'll be there for the grandchildren.
I gave most of it away as I thought there was no chance DH would EVER change his mind. Then he did. :jawdrop:
If you can, store it!
If you give them away, the chances of a surprise baby increase dramatically.
I'm the opposite, we held on to stuff and got a surprise baby lol. This time, we've given everything bar sentimental stuff away, including baby gadgets, and will continue to do so as DD2 grows. We were gifted 90% of DD1's clothes as a baby, so it feels good passing them on again. For #3, we'll be buying new stuff, minimal and simple.
As soon as I sold all my baby stuff, WHAM! Preggers with #3!!
Luckily I kept both my tandem pram and single pram, and i'd never part with some of their 'special to me' baby wear items.
