Knowing how to organise baby clothes can be difficult for a new parent. Keeping track of all the different sizes- baby, 3-months-old, 6-months-old, 9-months-old, and 12-months-old might be a lot to handle.You'll need the appropriate tools and knowledge to properly put an organised system in place.
To begin, assess whether or not you have sufficient closet and drawer space to put the babies clothes. After you've figured out the answer, you're free to let your imagination plan the space. If you're looking for something portable, a caddy full of hanging sleeves is a great option; if you're out of room on the floor, baskets make great cubbies; and if you want to make the most of the space in your closet, stackable bins are a great option. Finding a method of organisation that serves your needs best is of utmost importance.
Here is an easy 8-step plan for keeping baby's wardrobe neat and tidy. Options for organising your closet by size and more. You should always have a few extra outfits on hand in case your child outgrows their current ones rapidly.
Size-Based Organisation
Baby clothing should be organised by size. You can either use a monthly-divided bin or just arrange everything from size 0-12 months on top of their dresser/changing table.
Organising Your Baby's Dresser
For those who need a dresser but are stumped by the challenge of arranging infant garments, this is the ideal answer. Just use boxes of various sizes to split up your drawers. Just go down a size as your kid outgrows their clothes every month.
Put Drawer Liners to Good Use
Baby garments can be kept neat and tidy with the help of drawer liners. Use drawer liners if they don't stack neatly or if they're overflowing from the dresser. They'll be aesthetically pleasing and practical, too.
Organising Your Baby's Closet
A baby closet could be used in place of drawers if necessary. Hangers are the most convenient storage solution for your child's clothing. Two rows of small-sized hangers are required, however thinner hangers that can fit into tighter quarters are preferable. Put them in order by size and stack them up.
Storage Solutions for the Nursery Closet
Shelving is a great alternative to hangers and drawer dividers for a baby's wardrobe. Thanks to this, every piece of clothing can be quickly located and accessed. Furthermore, its sleek design complements any aesthetic choice for a baby's room.
Classify Items According To Their Uses/As Worn
Body suits, stockings, and caps can be stored separately from the rest of the baby's wardrobe. If your baby wakes up in the middle of the night and requires an outfit, you'll be able to quickly locate all the matching pieces.
Classify often
You could decide to sort your baby's wardrobe into winter and summer sections if you reside in a region that only experiences those two seasons. That way, when it's 100 degrees outside and the air conditioner is broken, you won't have to rummage through a mound of winter clothes. Either way, you will want to regularly go through their clothes, bin anything old and donate anything that doesn't fit anymore.
Classify by Weekday and Hour
You can also sort your baby's garments by the day or the hour. It's simple to simply grab the clothes they're wearing that day if you need anything quick. You can divide the day into daytime outfits and night-time outfits so you have everything you need for the next 24 hours to hand.
Final Thoughts
While sorting your baby's clothing into piles, keep in mind the many ways you'll be using each item. Do you intend to wear the rain gear just when it really starts to pour? Is this a once-in-a-blue-moon ensemble, worn just for exceptional occasions?
Alternatively, how often (weekly/monthly) do you wear this item? The answers to these questions should be laid out in front of you to facilitate decision making and help with the organisation of all clothing according to their level of usage. Things that will be used more often should of course be made more easily accessible.
When you've finished everything, go back and see if there's anything you missed. As soon as you've gotten everything where you want it, make sure to mark each stack so that subsequent caregivers know where to find a particular set of clothes.
