Be sure to add labels - Baby
Your little one is outgrowing their newborn items and one day you hope to have a second baby.
I am going to help you organize for baby #2 or #3 or even #4 or more. First, keep your diaper boxes.They are the perfect size to store and free! Get a huge permanent marker and mark EVERY side including top and bottom with the size and gender.If you have gender neutral keep those separate.
Step 1- Organize by size: Newborn , 0-3 , 3-6 , 6-9 , 9-12, 12 , 18 , 24.
Organize by item: Cloth diapers , towels , blankets , etc.
Step 2- Ditch the stained , ripped , or unwanted items.
Step 3- List all items in the box on a paper or digital file. Number the boxes to match the lists.
Step 4- Mark the box on all sides.
Step 5- Store the boxes in a safe place.
This is going to make buying for the next baby super easy and you will have a list of items in the box.This means if you later decide to sell the items or donate you will know right where to find that special outfit grandma bought or that baby came home in.
My mom did this with us and she swears by it.She did this later with jeans and dresses.If you prefer to buy storage boxes opt for smaller ones to maximize space.Or even grab some space bags.You can mark each bag and they take up way less space.
Enjoy the ease of prepping for your new baby with a toddler!
