| We are moving and I am unsure of whether to take all our baby stuff. We were incredibly blessed to have our little man and have kept most of the baby stuff in the hope that we get a second but as our chances are pretty slim I am just not sure it's worth the money to take it all with us. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I have been wrestling with the idea of getting rid of it all for the last few months. |

Perhaps get rid of the main things, cot, bassinet, playgyms,pram, etc etc All the stuff that can be easily replaced if they need to.
Id keep things that have been bought or hand made, gifts from others etc. Things like knitted items, favourite clothing, blankets etc. Favourite baby toys etc. -------------

| id keep the sentimental atuff (gifts, first something like shoes, birth beanie/wrap etc, and anything you just LOVE - not really like, but would make you cry to see it leave kind of love) everything big or cheap can be replaced. |

How far are you moving? Have you really got enough baby stuff (guessing furniture and other big things) that would add to the moving cost? Eg when we move home it will take a container so baby stuff won't make or break it IYGWIM. But if it's the difference between needing a bigger truck or something then I'd look at selling the big stuff before you move. If you have another baby at some point you can replace that stuff or borrow it if you need to.
As the others have said, I'd keep sentimental things and anything you really love but otherwise I'd have a clear out and sell the other stuff  ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

Do you have room to store it at the new house without it being in the way? and as others have said how far are you moving, will it be easy enough to move?
oh and if you do have another baby can you afford to replace what you have sold? ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

To be honest I've kept stuff from my first girl (she's 15 now) but was able to let go of most of her things early on and gift them to the Salvation Army. Now with our 9 year old, we've only kept the gifts and sentimental stuff like some of her stuffed teddies and dresses from friends and family who have passed. All the best. You'll make the right decision in the end
