We do! More so when he was a newborn though. These days (almost 20 months) the clothes get a bit more worn from playing so the pickins are a bit slim. I'd say most of his toys are hand me downs though.

We definitely use hand-me downs. I think most of DS' clothes for the summer are hand-me downs from our nephew.

Yes. My niece is 7 months older than DD and they both have an older cousin and we have friends who have older daughters. Some of the stuff has been through 4 girls so far!

I've bought things at Once Upon a Child and once at Savers (only NWT)- I just wash it before she wears it!

I love when friends and relatives give me hand-me downs.

DS has the most rocking wardrobe bc of hand me downs, Ralph Lauren, Janie and Jack, Benneton, tons of gorgeous, perfect condition clothes I would never spend Chat Icon on.

I love it.

I do not shop second hand stores though. People have been so generous that I have more than enough clothes for DD & DS for years to come.

Sure, we got a ton of stuff from our cousins. Anything in good shape we kept and used. Anything that was ripped/stained/otherwise ruined got tossed.
