How to Organize Your Little Treasure's Wardrobe (Before and After Birth)

The arrival of a newborn is an exciting time in the life of every parent. In addition to preparing mentally and emotionally, it is essential to organize the spaces of the house to make room for all the new things with an order that allows you to do things in the easiest way after the birth.

Preparing your newborn's wardrobe in a practical and efficient way before his/her birth will allow you to have everything at hand when the little one arrives and will simplify your days. In this article, we will give you useful tips on how to organize his/her first wardrobe and maintain it over time:

  1. Take seasonality into account

The season in which your baby is born will impact your clothing choices. If your baby is born in the winter, you will need warmer clothes like overalls and heavier blankets. If your baby is born in the summer, you will need lighter clothes and fabrics like cotton or linen. Make sure you have a balance between light and heavy clothes, so you can dress your baby according to the outside temperatures.

  1. Create categories

To maintain order, divide your wardrobe into categories and keep the things you will use most often (like bodysuits and bibs) in more accessible places . For example, you can create sections for bodysuits, pajamas, overalls, dresses and accessories like socks, bibs and hats. This will help you quickly find what you need without having to search through the entire closet. Also use dividers or separate drawers for clothes of different sizes, since your baby will grow quickly and you will need to easily find the right clothes.

Pro-tip: Labeling your drawers will help you quickly find what you're looking for even when you're extremely tired, and will allow anyone helping you (grandparents, babysitters, etc.) to move around independently right away.

 

  1. Every now and then, tidy up

As your baby grows, you will need to adapt your wardrobe to their new needs. Every few months, take the time to reorganize your wardrobe (doing it regularly will allow you to not have to dedicate a lot of time to this activity). Remove the clothes that no longer fit and replace them with those of the next size up . This way, you will always have the right clothes available and free up space for new arrivals. Put away the clothes that you will no longer use, you can lend them or give them to other new parents!

 

  1. Buy strategically

When buying clothes for your newborn, try to be strategic. Opt for versatile pieces that can be easily combined. Choose colors that adapt to different seasons and are easy to wash together, buy items that are easy to put on and take off, such as bodysuits and onesies with a full front opening with buttons or zips. If you are in doubt about the quantity , remember the rule of three: one worn, one clean in the closet, one dirty in the wash.

Taking actions that simplify life after birth, such as organizing a practical and efficient wardrobe, is an act of love towards your family: you will be able to concentrate on the well-being of you and your baby instead of wasting time looking for a clean bodysuit, and fully enjoy every moment.
