How to store baby clothes
how do you store clothes your DC has outgrown? Right now I have them separated in plastic bags (like the ones from the grocery store) by size. I had to get them out of DS' drawers to make room for new clothes. Any suggestions for keeping them long term? What are the best bins or bags for keeping them?

How to store baby clothes
I put them in Tupperware. They are currently in the attic in the garage out of the way. I organize each Tupperware by size too. I just wish there was a way to condense it. I have tons of Tupperware now!

How to store baby clothes
I have them seperated by size 3-6 months, 9-12 months, 12-18 months etc, in clear plastic bins. I put white tissue paper in between the clothes every few layers.
I have them piled up in corresponding order with a big sign on the front of each indicating the sizes.
We're not done having children - we want one more. However, there was too much to store.
So I got rid of anything that had stains, things I barely put on DS or that had tags etc.

I have them in rubbermaid tubs but I will be sendign them to Good Will soon. The chances of me havign another boy that will wear the same size during the same seasons is slim. So off they go.

Re: How to store baby clothes
We use rubbermaid, sterlite bins & label each bin by size & throw in some cedar chips & lavender sachets to deter months. The bins take up some space- I line one wall of the attic with them. I wanted to try space saver bags but I have read that the air doesn't stay suppressed in those space saver bags after a few weeks.

Do the bags keep a long time? I read reviews that said they eventually inflate back up.

Re: How to store baby clothes
I was putting them in those space saver bags, which I thought were brilliant, but noticed that they deflated back up. I actually thought I purchased defective ones until I read a few pp had the same issue.
Once Target has a sale I will buy a few clear bins and transfer them there.

Re: How to store baby clothes
The ones I'm keeping I put in clear storage bins. The ones I give away I pack in bags or boxes.

same here. i guess i'll have to find a long-term solution though. i'll probably store them in the large plastic bins like everyone else.

This is what I do. I've been doing it for three years and never had an issue when pulling out clothes. I store our off season clothes and shoes this way too.
