The vacuum bags are a good idea for clothes I just ordered some off Amazon cause all her clothes that are currently too small are just sitting in our back room in a bin bag 😅 it’s mad how much of it they barely wear as well 😅
Especially (I found) with your first as people give you SO MUCH that it would be nearly impossible to get more than 2/3 wears out of all the stuff you have! But if you have another then all the stuff can (potentially!) get used again, or you can hand to a friend. My friend has one boy and one girl so we get loads of her hand me downs 🙌🏻

Reading posts about those of you who are keeping hold of your baby stuff makes me happy for you all but sad for myself. A few on here may know that my little boy was conceived via NHS funded IVF. I’m only entitled to one round so we won’t be having another baby.
I am so infertile that there’s more chance of pigs flying to the moon than having a baby naturally

I sold his Moses basket & lots of other baby stuff that he’s grown out of and the lady buying them asked me ‘are you not planning on having another one then?’ Because she was a stranger I just said ‘no unfortunately not’
Deep down I wanted to say ‘mind your own business, just give me your money and get out’
🤣
I did have a little cry after at the realisation of my situation

my boy is 4 months old and I have absolutely loved every minute of it, even the sleepless nights
But I do worry that he will struggle having no siblings, but I do try and tell myself that he won’t know any different so it shouldn’t affect him too much
I had an older brother and he always looked after me, he still does, and over the years we’ve made some amazing memories with all of our family. We have such a close bond too.

anyway, not really sure of the point to this post but I guess it’s just niggling away at the back of my mind. Sorry if I’ve brought the threads mood down 😰
