Babies grow out of clothes so quickly! I know that I go through Gianna's clothes at least every 3 months. In the beginning I didn't know what to do with them. I could give them away, but what if I have another baby and it's a girl? I can totally use this stuff. So, like many moms, I saved my most favorite outfits and I gave the rest to a friend who had her baby girl a few months after me.
Now, the next question was, how am I going to store this stuff? Some time ago a friend of mine introduced me to the DIMPA Storage Bag from IKEA. I bought a few and had them lying around waiting to be filled. These worked out great for me. They were super roomy and the quality of the bag was pretty sturdy. These bags are $3.99 at IKEA and can be used for several other things after you are done storing all the baby clothes. They can even hold a spare tire!

EVER BUY A BED-IN-A-BAG?
A friend and fellow mommy gave me this idea and I was like, "Duh, why didn't I think of that. I have one hoarding in my closet right now!" These are just as roomy and the plastic is usually of pretty good quality.

DOLLAR TREE TO THE RESCUE
I swear Dollar Tree always amazes me. You can also find comforter bags at Dollar Tree for $1.00 if you don't have a comforter bag lying around.

LIMITED TO STORAGE SPACE?
I have used these space saver bags before and I loved them. They work with your basic vacuum cleaner attachments. Walmart has them for a decent price but you can find them for even less at places like Marshals, Gormans, TJMax, etc. for about $7.99.
