Emotional while packing baby’s small clothes away

I know exactly how do you feel 🥺. It happened with my first and now is happening with my second too...it took me weeks to go trough the process of packing up...

I literally stood and cried hysterically when I packed away her newborn clothes 😂

I feel like there's something wrong with me because, I don't feel that sad about this🫤 I kept my favourite outfits from both my first & second born in the first sizes. Other than that, I'm glad to see them go to someone else who needs them more than what I do. I'm not that sentimental when it comes to possessions. Its more when I look back at old photographs & I get emotional.

This is exactly me! I sometimes find myself still trying to put 0-3 clothes on her hoping they will fit 🙈 Im ashamed to say I can’t bring myself to donate them and am gradually packing them away into storage bags to keep 🤣 I think one day I’ll be ready to donate them but right now I’m just not.
Also I transitioned her from the carrycot to the pushchair on the pram the other day and genuinely shed tears, these milestones are coming thick and fast and it’s amazing but also bittersweet to think she’ll never be this little again 🥲
I honestly never saw myself being like this but here we are 🤣

thank you. I feel the same. I understand that they will never be that small and that time passes so quick but... I'm so glad that my LB is growing so I'm happy and excited for the new size clothes. Again, perhaps there is something wrong with me too.

definitely nothing wrong with you! I imagine it’s different for everyone. Definitely still so grateful he is growing big and there’s even more to look forward to but i think with the clothes they’re linked to a specific memory so maybe reminiscing about that makes it extra emotional (like looking back on photos) x

I get that, I kept my firstborns xmas jumper that she wore for her first xmas & then my youngest wore it last year🥰 I'm just going to find a teddy bear to put it on for next year😅 I must have thousands of photographs, some videos etc.... I do like to print photo's & go through the albums x

I’ve done newborn and now need to do 0-3, it’s so sad isn’t it! So happy to see him grow and learn but I miss my tiny baby too. I’m keeping my favourite bits aside for a memory box so it’s not just all stuffed in the attic until someone in the family needs them x

I’ve just finished putting some of my lo 0-3 on Vinted and I was like 🥲 he’s almost outta his 3-6 stuff too

I started packing up my LGs tiny baby, newborn and 0-3 today too!
I literally laid on my bed after popping some in bags whilst LO napped and absolutely balled my eyes out.
I brought one of her tiny baby sleepsuits down to my OH earlier and we both can't believe how small she was and how quickly its flown by.
She's just moving into size 4 nappies too, and where we use aldi, they no longer say "I'm new here" on the back 😭😭😭

You guys packing up your 0-3 and my bubs is wearing mostly 6-9 👀 I must say I kept a few lovely bits, but I've put the rest on Vinted because we don't have the storage space really 🙈

I feel like this too, and did with my first! I sent the most ‘special’ outfits off to Love Keep Create with my firstborn - had her newborn outfits made into a teddy which she still has in her room now (she’s 5) and all the special outfits between newborn and 1 years made into a blanket that’s on her bed. It brings back so many memories every time I look at it. Just an idea 🥰🥰
