do you keep all your children's clothes that they grow out of, give it away or sell it.
i give some stuff away and sell some stuff at consignment stores. after i sell her clothes i use the money to buy her new clothes. they grow out of things so fast and it's a great money saving oportunity for us.

I kept the outfits they came home from the hospital in so I could give them to them when they have children. But the rest of the clothes when they outgrow them I take them to the local consignment shop they sell the clothes and I get 50% of what they sell for which makes me a nice profit then I use this money to go buy them new clothes and start the process over again. If they clothes happen to have a stain on them I take them to the local thrift shop where people can buy clothes for a quarter that don't have much money.

I kept a few outfits from special occasions, but most of it I passed on to someone else who needed them. I still like to pass on their clothes to someone in need, and my own as well.

If you can make space, why don't you keep them? Some of your friends or relatives might want them in future. There is one belief that if a baby wears the baby clothes of someone who has already grown up, it will somehow help him grow better. I know of a friend who went around asking for baby clothes so that she can use it for exactly this purpose.

i don't have the space to keep them and we don't have a lot of money so i have to sell to buy my daughter some more clothes. kids clothes are expensive these days and they grow out of them quickly.

I only kept the outfit that they came home from the hospital in. The rest, I sell on ebay if they are in great shape. Now, some of the cheapy type things that may be stained or whatever, I just toss. But, I am like you...if it can be sold, it goes on ebay and then the money goes for more clothes for the kiddos. :)

My son is only 3 years old and some of his clothes are been kept for awhile and when some of my relatives came from distant places visits us I usually gave it to them.

Sometimes when a beggar carrying a child passed by our house even it is still new and it is somewhat small to my son I really gave it so I can be of help in my own little way.

We kept all of our daughers clothes till my hubby had a vasectemony after trying for 3yrs. to have one more child. Didn't want too far of an age gap between them and we gave up trying once our daughter turned 4. I weeded thru the clothes and threw out all the ones that were badly stained then put the rest (we had a TON of clothes from newborn-3yrs) along with all her baby stuff in a huge garage sale. What didn't sell we gave to Birthright who helped us out clothes,diapers,blankets,toys when our daughter was born. Now that we have a great niece and nephew, we give them all our daughters outgrown clothes. She wears both girl and boy clothes so it helps our niece out alot.

I have kept most of my sons stuff because I plan on having more children, but the stuff that I haven't kept, I have sold at consignment stores or given away. When I know that I'm not having anymore children I'll have a t on of clothes and probably have a big baby garage sale.
