I was very fortunate to receive a ton of baby clothes for my children and I am thankful to all my friends and family. I ended up having clothes for my daughter till she is five years old! But where do you put all those clothes? Here's my little system that works pretty well for me.
For clothes that are too big: I separated by size and placed in space bags and stored under the crib or in the garage.
For clothes that are too small: I have a mesh laundry bag in each of the kids' closets that I throw the clothes that are too small. Once this fills up, I'll separate by size and store in a space bag. Since I'm not sure if we're done having kids yet, this is my system, but once we decide we're done, I'll first donate to either friends or family who could use them and then send to consignment.
I also saved all of the hangers that come with baby clothes from gifts and the baby shower. And any time I found baby hangers at Goodwill, I would buy them at a fraction of the cost.

15: Where To Get Baby Gear
Sure, there's always Target and Amazon but here are a few places to get things for free or on the cheap.
- Freecycle.org is a nifty website I was told about where you can post or see posts of stuff to get rid of or to pick up. It's free and green. Check out the website for more details. I have not actually used this yet, but certainly intend to. I was told you can get great quality baby gear for FREE!
- Thrift stores, Goodwill, Salvation Army, and consignment shops are excellent sources to find baby gear for great prices.
- Always accept hand-me-downs. I have clothes for McKayla till she's 5 years old! And many of her baby gear are from friends and family.
- Ebay and Craigslist are great sources too. I've heard of moms getting bags of baby clothes for a fraction of the original costs.
Most of these clothes were hand-me-downs.
