subject: Tips For Organizing Baby Clothes [print this page] Babies can be more difficult to dress because they grow so much every month and year. This means that you need to have lots of baby clothes in different sizes to keep your baby fitting in their clothes, especially for the first year.
Due to the large number of baby outfits that children require it is best to start out with an organizational system that works for you. Once you have everything in its place it will make it easy to find the things that you need.
First, wash each of your baby's clothing pieces. This means all other fabrics that might come in contact with her or his sensitive skin. You should be sure to do this before you bring him or her home from the hospital.
Make sure that you wash all your bath towels, burp cloths, changing table pads, wash cloths, sheets and bibs. You will be so glad to know that all these items are clean when you bring home your baby.
Second, organize all of the clothes that will fit your baby at the present time. To do this, place the clothes your baby currently fits into in the top drawer of his or her dresser along with socks. In the drawers that follow, store the clothing in the sizes that they will wear next.
For example, store the 0 to 3 months clothes in the first drawer, the 3 to 6 month clothing in the next drawer and the 6 to 9 month outfits in the last drawer. Then when they grow out of the top drawer you can simply rotate everything up.
Third, organize larger sizes of clothing that won't fit your baby for 9 months to a year. Invest in clear storage bins and stash them in your baby's closet. Make sure that you clearly label each of the bins so that you can easily find what you need.
Fourth, purchase closet dividers for organizing baby clothes by age. Place smallest sizes on the left and the largest on the right.
This method will allow you to view quickly how many outfits your baby has in each clothing size and to find easily the one you want your baby to wear each day.
Five, organize and find a place for baby shoes. You can do this by slipping baby shoes into a fabric holder that hangs over the closet door. This keeps the shoes accessible, but off the floor of the closet.
Six, store baby clothes your little ones have outgrown in boxes sorted by gender and size. For example, if you have a boy and a girl, buy clear storage containers for your boy's clothes and for your girl's clothes.
Be sure to clearly label them. Then, group the clothing according to size and fill the appropriate bins with the clothing.
Seven, rotate your baby's clothes so that you use all of their different outfits. You can do this by placing newly-washed baby clothes at the bottom of the piles in your baby's drawers so your little one isn't wearing the same outfits all the time.
When you take the time to organize your baby's clothing you will be able to have easier access to the things you want when you need them.
