Author: I have 2 boys and have found out I’m having another boy. I was initially disappointed but am now very excited and can’t wait for my bundle of boy to arrive.
My mum came today to help me pack away the baby girl clothes I’d collected since my first pregnancy. I was going to get her to take them with her, but I’m thinking about keeping them – even if they won’t come in handy.
I’m certain my husband won’t want another baby, and I don’t want to have another and another until I have a girl… but if these clothes are stashed away, will it do more harm than good?
I’d give them away in a flash if it was 100% assured there’s a girl hidden inside here with this baby boy in my belly.
I have girl clothes because I didn’t know what we were having the first time around and I’d started making and buying BOTH girl and boy baby clothes… as did my mum. I’m so glad I’ve kept the baby boy clothes as I’ve only been able to afford to buy a couple of little things as yet for this one.
I would keep them. When i was pregnant i brought both boy and girl items. When i gave birth it turned out i had a boy and so i put all the girls clothes into a bag i kept my favourite items for incase i had a girl in the future, and all the other girl items i gave to a friend who gave birth to a daughter after i had my son.
I see no harm in keeping some of the girl items.
Also don’t forget ultrasouds aren’t always 100% accurate and there is a chance you could still have a girl.

well you might want to keep them hidden. incase you do have a girl. but i would hide them because if your boys find them they might think you are
a having another baby
or
b want a girl more than them
so keep them but hide them

Its sods law that if you give them away, you will need them! I don’t think that keeping them will do any harm though either. Oh, and never say never- ever!
Gd Lk!

yes it will just think how your boys will feel in 10 years time when they find a suitcase full of girls clothes in the loft!
If you want to keep them a little while wait until you know someone expecting a girl and give them the clothes!

I think you should give them away, either to goodwill or charity, it will do you good to think that someone else in a less fortunate position will be able to use them. xx

If you keep them – you’re telling yourself that you’re going to try again for a girl, no matter what you’re actually saying. Be honest with yourself and think about what’s best for you and the rest of your family. You could end up with 4 boys though! My friend did. I’ve another who has four girls.
Good luck.

I think that you may as well pass the clothes on to someone with a baby girl at least you will get to see them in use that way. I know what you mean about the pretty clothes though have two boys and the clothes are nice but not as lovely as girl clothes. Oh well boys are fab and we may gain lovely daughter in laws in the future as well as baby grand daughters.

hi. i hated thinking of giving my daughters baby clothes away, but passing them on to a close friend or family member who will need them,and knowing they will keep them for u in case u need them made it alot easier. my daughter is almost three now, and i haven’t had anymore yet. its nice to keep a few noce things just to keep anyway. boy of girl…..im not sure it matters, a baby is the best gift anyone could ever have. i really do feel for those women who aren’t as blessed. hope the pregnancy and aftermath goes very well for u. x

I don’t understand, if you have 2 boys already then why do you have girl clothes???
Theres nothing wrong with putting them in a black bag and storing them in the loft, you never know what will happen in the future, weather it be you actually do have a girl or you just really don’t want to and you could give them as a prezzie or sell them, its entirely down to you but i don’t think theres anything wrong with keeping them, your due another boy, i have 2 already and am pregnant with a girl this time, but i really didn’t mind if i had another boy i think they are great and they look after their mummy so well!! Mine do even at 8 and 2.5yrs! If i had found out it was another boy we just knew we would carry on til we had a girl but thank god that’s not the case and i can stop, I’m sure it will be the same for you i bet your hubby will want to try for a girl again at some point, but you are extremely lucky to be having a boy as i said they are great fun and from what i hear much easier then girls!!
Good luck xx

I would keep them. In fact I still have a few clothes from my first 24 years ago and she used them for my first grandson. I used them for all 8 of mine- my youngest is 5 (in case you thought I saved them for over 20 yrs LOL).
Baby clothes don’t go out of style. Make sure they are really clean first.
I had 3 girls and then a boy. Everyone thought I would stop having babies b/c I now had a boy. They asked me if my husband was going to get fixed. I said, "Why would he get fixed if he isn’t broken. He does just fine."
That said, I never worried about what sex I was having. I welcomed any baby to my home. I figure that God knows best. He knows what I would be best at raising. He knows what each child’s future is.
Ultrasounds are not always correct. I had a friend who thought she was having a boy. Got rid of all her girl things (She already had two girls.) and decorated the nursery blue. She had a third girl. That was yrs ago and u/s are better now but they are not perfect.
Sounds to me like you are not certain that you will not have more children. Your husband could change his mind. And I am sure you could find it in your heart to accept another boy just like this time. You have a big heart. You are excited even though you didn’t think you would be. Congratulations on your new blessing to come!

I would put them away in a vacuum sealed storage bags (
keep mold and moths from them )
Put them somewhere you don’t think about ,until you either have a girl or are ready to give them away
