Do you keep old children's clothes?

I have had a massive sort out and I have loads and loads of my DC baby clothes, toddler clothes.

I know I need to get rid of some but how?

When I look at the clothes I can picture what they were doing when they were wearing that top or that particular dress.

How do I become less sentimental to the clothes in order to get rid of them?

Which ones do I keep or do I just pick one newborn out and first birthday party dresses and get rid of the rest.

The DC are now all teens or adult.

Unfortunately I don't have time to sell, they just need to be gone so will take everything I haven't already sorted a home for to the clothing bank this afternoon.

I have done it, I have kept 5 items per child various ages from new born to age 10 and have packed them away in my grandparents suitcase (the suitcase is one of two things I have from them).

Well done OP! 💪💪💪

@Onekidnoclue Thank you, I took a few more bits out but then put them back tied up the bag and they are ready for collection tomorrow morning.

Will take the bits to my friends tonight so then they will be gone too.

No wobbles allowed!

First baby grow kept, everything else binned as outgrown if well worn and designer stuff sold. Absolutely no sentimental value in a T-shirt IMO
