The early stages of parenting are stressful, especially when it is your first child. Buying nappies, purchasing new clothes and receiving gifts from your family and friends are all stressful at the start. Not to mention the room you need to decorate for them. All of these things can make the initial stage of having a child very stressful.
Hanging and Folding Groups
One of the first steps you make when arranging your child’s wardrobe. Buy a miniature wardrobe so you can store all the clothes you have received. Once you have filled your wardrobe, put the rest in small storage boxes. Ideally, you will hang up your most favourable clothes in the wardrobe whilst the others would be pyjamas, weaning bibs, t-shirts and anything else that can be folded and easily stored in a small tub.
Arrange Them Into Categories
Your next step when arranging your baby’s wardrobe is to put them into categories. It will make things easier, especially when you are getting ready to go out for the day. As soon as you know where everything is, you will save time getting ready.
Gather all the jumpers and put them in one section of the wardrobe and small dungarees can be placed in another section. Whatever you think needs to be sectioned together, just put them next to one another. It will make things easier instead of quickly rummaging through the wardrobe or drawers.
Put Them In Size Order
The next task is to put those clothes in size order. Again, this will save a lot of time. Not to mention that we guarantee you will receive clothes in many different sizes from friends and family. For those sections that you arranged in the wardrobe before, we suggest putting them in age/size order. Babies grow very quickly so you don’t need to worry about them taking too long to grow into those clothes.
Grab Yourself Some Drawer Dividers
Another organising tip for your baby’s clothes is to buy drawer dividers. Furthermore, the baby’s clothes are small and will easily move around in the drawer. Another positive to these is that they stop everything from getting mixed as one. They are a fantastic investment to keep everything organised and separate those clothes. If you don’t want to buy drawer dividers, rip up a cardboard box which will easily keep everything organised.
Label Your Boxes
Another great way to keep everything organised for the little one is by labelling the boxes. It is so easy to forget what you put where. That is why making some labels that you can then stick on the side of drawers and boxes will make things far easier.
There are a couple of ways you can do this as well. Writing on a piece of paper and sellotaping it onto the drawer or box is one method. Another way to do this is by writing, on the drawer yourself with a piece of chalk. That will also do the job and you can rub it off whenever you are switching things around.
Summary
There you have it, five tips for organising your baby’s wardrobe. It is something that takes some time but you will thank yourself for it later on. Once you have finally got around to organising those clothes, you will thank yourself for it at a later date, especially when you are in a rush to get them ready. It is time to start organising your home and redecorating for the little one.
