Chances are, the clothes will be outdated by then. You would be smarter to donate the clothes to a charity, or pass them along to a friend who can use them. I have 5 children, and have saved one special outfit for each, but just for sentimental reasons, not to give to their kids.

My mum kept a select few for sentimental reasons... my son is currently wearing a custom made beanie i had when i was a toddler! LOL! I will be keeping a FEW of the more expensive 'good' outfits but not many, I don't have the space to store them. The outfit my son came home from the hospital in is framed on the wall and i will be doing the same for the rest of our children. The elastic doesn't 'survive' long enough for a lot of the clothes to be held onto for that long too...

I save a few things here and there for sentimental reasons, but I don't save things because I hope my grandchildren will one day wear them. I don't know of anyone who saves their children's clothes in hopes of their grandchildren one day wearing them. I saved my son's cap and shirt that they gave him the day he was born, his first outfit, and the outfit that he wore on the way home. I also have his first pair of shoes, and a few other things. I keep those items for the memories that they hold. My children will hopefully have children of their own and will be able to do the same for their children. :)

Nope. I thank God that my parents didn't save my old clothes! LOL. Style changes so much over twenty years. I still have a few outfits from when I was really little but other then that I'm happy my parents didn't save all of my clothes!
I have kept a few outfits of my son's that I loved. I don't expect my grandchildren to wear them though! More or less they are just there for me to reminisce.

No, why would you. Clothing goes in and out of style. A can see a parent saving the first pair of shoes or a christining dress, but anything else just seems like wasted space.
Are you really going to clothe your child in something that is a least 25 years old.

I've kept a lot of my daughter's clothes and I'd LOVE to see my grandchild wear them, even if it's just long enough to take a picture. My mom kept a few clothes from my sisters and I, but she didn't offer to let my daughter wear them. :( I do have a knit bonnet that was mine as a baby. A teddy bear wore it for years, then my daughter wore it. It looked so funny and cute.

no for one the clothes are old and will begin to rot two if you live in a cold climate what if your baby is born in the summer they can't wear your 3-6 outfits because they are two warm.

No. I wouldnt put such outdated clothes on my kids... My grandpa did keep a pair of flip-flops from when I was an infant and gave them to me after my grandma passed and I have shown them to my kids and told them the history but I didnt want them for my baby.

no. it makes no sense to store clothes for 20+ yrs. I have a few outfits that my mom saved for sentimental reasons, but they are in a memory box.
