Don’t pack away the infant clothes!

Sure, your little one is not so little anymore and it has been a couple seasons since those oh-so-cute 0-3m onesies and those adorable 3-6m overalls have even come close to fitting, but do not pack up or "hand-down" all those infant clothes just yet!

All those tee shirts, booties, and extra baby diapers are about to go through a rather exciting functional transformation. What was once your little one’s comfy pajama set will have a second tour of duty as a favorite doll’s lounge-wear, and what was your baby’s coolest little tee shirt is going to look great on that fuzzy teddy bear.

Using your kid’s old baby clothes as clothing for their dolls, bears, stuffed animal, etc is an efficient way to get some extra use out of those items. You will also benefit financially, by not forking over those hard-earned dollars on pricey articles of clothing made especially for your children’s first friends. And if you plan on expanding your family, allowing your child to "give" their clothes to Elmo and their baby dolls will be great practice - to share what was once theirs with someone (or in this case, something) else.
