Don't get me wrong, I've still got the umbilical cord from dd (my first born) Blush ds's went straight in the bin

But a box for every single tooth your child loses, the umbilical cord and the lanugo?!

That's a bit creepy isn't it?

I would be Hmm if my mum gave me that

I also have a newborn nappy - individually wrapped and unopened - think it was in a Bounty pack.

I actually like that idea. Shows how small they was once

My youngest's ears were covered in hair when he was born...he looked like a baby monkey! But it just disappeared.Ive know idea how you would keep it!
I've kept some of my 3's teeth, but I don't feel the need to display them ! And -yuk- keeping the umbilical cord! Hmm

DD was born with black hair, she is vv blonde now.

I've kept his umbilical cord clip, but not the cord stump itself.

Also, a little off topic but continuing the theme of gross biological matter; I've had each of my current dogs from puppy and have kept one or two of their teeth. These are in a box alongside the ceramic container with my previous dog's ashes. I have no idea why I've kept these things.

Yuk to keeping any body parts. My Dc's umbilical cords went in the nappy they fell off in.
Baby clothes - yes.

My BIL used to joke that he'd keep all of his DDs baby teeth, string them up as a necklace and give them to her on her wedding day. At least, I hope he was joking.

I wish I'd kept a prem nappy.

My niece was 6lb born I was holding her and couldn't believe how tiny she was. DD who's 3 was 3lb odd. I just can't remember it now.

My mum still has a lovely curl of my sister's hair from when she was tiny, it was so blond it was almost white. My sis is almost fifty and Mum still has the curl in a brown envelope. She didn't keep any of mine because apparently I was almost bald until I was 3 Hmm.
