The vast majority of my pre-baby clothes simply do not fit and the biggest issue is definitely my boobs which are so much bigger than before. I'm exclusively breastfeeding and my baby is only 4 months so I'm not anticipating this current massive boob situation to change anytime soon; especially as we'd like to try for Baby number 2 before DD is 2 years old. So I'm looking at all the clothes I once loved knowing they're just not going to fit for probably the next 4-5 years at least. Should I just get rid of them and build more of a capsule wardrobe out of what actually does fit or store them away in the vein hopes that one day I will fit into them again. One or two items I know I want to do that for but I am talking a very large proportion of me wardrobe here that just doesn't fit at all and it makes me very low to be honest to have so much stuff that I know I'll probably never wear again. I definitely want it all out of my wardrobe for sure but to store them or donate/sell them?
Thank you

Your breasts will start to get smaller as your baby starts to wean at about 6 months, so I wouldn't get rid of everything, no.

I bought quite a few loose tops and wore a vest underneath. Then you can pull the vest down over your breast and the top up when you are feeding so you are not exposing so much.

I kept mine as a motivator to lose the last bit of baby weight, I was determined to fit into my favourite dress again so it helped give me that last push. Some things never did fit again as like you my boobs tripled in size, I eventually got rid of those ones. Can you put them in the attic or under your bed for now? You might regret giving them away if they do fit again you’ll need to buy a new wardrobe unnecessarily.
