Would you still keep clothes that look like this?

[faithfulbird20]

If you were planning to have another baby in the future? Or are they a bit too rough?

No, I don't think that needs to be kept.

Anything that hasn't got stains on keep imo.
Shabby stuff is great for dirty play and can be binned if necessary!
Many many dc here and had a drawer of scruffs to shove on!!
As an adult I have a basket full also!! For decorating and gardening etc..

I quite like that - reminds s of stuff I used to have as a baby. But vintage but perfectly usable.

Given how much mess babies make I don’t see why not.

Can't see anything wrong with it? I am finding I'm running out of hand me downs now my youngest is age 3-4 - knees and elbows gone, mud and paint stains, random tears. That's about my chuck-it standard!

Chuck if stained or holey. Id keep if needed for nursery and not got many nursery clothes. I did not care what I sent my dc in to nursery. Everything gets wrecked.

If really stained or holes/worn then I'd chuck. Otherwise I'd keep.

All depends how much you hate waste I'm actually shocked the amount of people on here saying no as you get flamed on here for not saving the planet. Cut it into a square use as a Muslin or Chuck it under the sink for a cloth.

I'd keep that no problem. It would be fine for playing in the house, garden, nursery etc. I save the nicer stuff for weekends and visiting.

I'm not fussy about most things so i'd keep it. I'd try to never buy anything white for a child though as all my whites all end up dingy and things like Oxy 10 stink horribly IMO.

Yes, would definitely keep some old clothes. when they can be used for messy play, foolish not to,, and very silly to keep buying new stuff, when things are perfectly functional. Any numpty who would judge you, needs a head wobble.

Looks fine to me

A lot of stains come out in the sun. I'd decide depending on whether I could get the stain out, what age it was (6-12 months messy weaning time anything goes, or nursery clothes) and how much else I had in that size.

I wish I would have, but I wouldn't have.

I'd get rid but I've got 'issues', always fear being judged so my DC have always had new and I've throw stuff out as soon as they get grubby.

If you’ve got lots of tired clothes OP think about dying them navy or black, so cool on babies.

I have loads of clothes & shoes that all 7 of my kids wore!

So yes🤣

SandysMam You're right, my brother and his wife are very middle class, lots of disposable income. Their DC look like they've been dragged through hedges, unwashed faces, crazy hair, dirty, grubby clothes. Oh it's all so jolly and no one would bat an eye lid. DH and I are working class, minimum wage and if I turned my DC out looking like that I'm sure people would think we're not coping/can't afford to clothe them etc so my DC are always immaculate (except for when they're coming back from the park covered in mud). That's not to say that everything is brand new, I get all of my stuff from vinted and a lot of theirs too but it's all clean, good quality, almost new.

Wearing hand me downs or second hand clothes doesn't mean a child is unwashed or disheveled. It's quite a reach to suggest you feel you must have new clothes because you're working class and people might otherwise accuse you of not coping- behave!

Of course! Plenty of days when you’re not going out/ den building/ messy play

Not sure if it's just the small photo on the app, but I can't see anything wrong with it. Why wouldn't you keep it?

Absolutely keep! It makes environmental sense! You can always rub in a bit of vanish white powder onto the non coloured sections and they will come up perfect.

It looks a bit small for a baby that needs 'messy wear' so for that reason I wouldn't keep. If I'm wrong and it's the size for a 7 month old trying out bolognese or tomato soup then keep!

I would but I do know parents who's kids are always immaculate, even the babies

Tabbacus Wearing hand me downs or second hand clothes doesn't mean a child is unwashed or disheveled. It's quite a reach to suggest you feel you must have new clothes because you're working class and people might otherwise accuse you of not coping- behave!

but I didn't say they had to be in brand new clothes, I actually said I use vinted for most of our stuff. I also didn't say that wearing second hand clothes means a child is unwashed or dishevelled. I said that my brothers children are and that if I turned my kids out looking like that people may think we're not coping and it's absolutely true.
