Question How do u store ur Baby clothes

as the title suggests, how do u store the '2 small clothes'?? i did have them in nappy boxes and space saver bags (but they dont seal properly and the boxes dont store enough)

I am thinking along the lines of the big plastic tubs but do they get smelly in those??

TIA

I store my baby clothes that DS is no longer using in those plastic tubs and have not noticed any smells. I have put in some really lovely natural baby soap with a vanilla/honey scent to them that are wrapped in a light cloth. The clothes have only been stored for 8 months, but i figured if they were going to get a musty smell thats plenty time enough for it to happen.

Hope this helps

Having a baby is like taking your lower lip and forcing it over your head.

I had a system for my DS - he was in Huggies disposable nappies, so as he outgrew his clothes they would go into the empty boxes lined with bags.

Worked really well as now the clothes are in boxes that correspond to their size (eg newborn clothes in newborn nappy box), and I never ran out of boxes LOL.

Hoping to use some cloth napies for this bub though, so that might throw out my system!

I use a combination of nappy boxes and those big plastic tubs. I haven't had a problem (smells etc) with either one.
