Monday Mission : Organize Baby’s Clothes
Having a baby is a far more complicated endeavor than you could ever imagine when you first get pregnant. To help you manage the influx of baby’s clothes (and all the size changes as baby grows), here are a few tips…
Supplies Needed:
- clothes dresser
- drawer dividers
- children’s hangers
- closet dividers
- paper bags
- plastic storage bins
Organization Tips:
- Store socks, mittens, hats, and other accessories in separate sections of the top dresser drawer.
- Fold all onesies and store in two separate piles in the second dresser drawer: whites and colors.
- Fold all gowns and sleepers. Store in two separate piles in the third dresser drawer.
- Hang up baby’s outfits in the closet. Separate them by size and/or season using closet dividers.
- As baby gets bigger, toss any outgrown clothes into the corresponding paper bag at the bottom of baby’s closet (labeled “sell,” “donate,” and “keep”).
- Once the “donate” bag is full, take its contents to your favorite local charity.
- When the “sell” bag is full, take its contents to your favorite consignment store.
- When the “keep” bag is full, place its contents into the corresponding plastic bin (labeled by size and season, plus gender as necessary).
