How to Organize Baby Clothes in a Dresser?

From responsibilities to expenses, there are quite a lot of things that start piling up when you welcome a baby into this world. But chief among these ever-stacking things are all those baby clothes and accessories. It's amazing how our little ones have more clothes than us before they're even born- we've got all those gifts, hand-me-downs, and personal purchases to thank for that.

So, if you're confused about how you'll organize all those clothes, this guide is about to be your friend in need. It will take you through some killer tips and tricks on making the most of your dresser and intelligently storing baby clothes in it. 

Tips for Organizing Baby Clothes in a Dresser

Wash Before Storing

You must thoroughly wash your little one's clothes before stashing them in the dresser drawer. You see, baby skin is extremely sensitive and store-bought clothes can easily irritate it. Speaking of irritation, if your baby's wardrobe includes cotton fabrics, make sure it's organic.

Organically farmed cotton is a lot less scratchy than its conventionally farmed cousin. There's also the environmental factor; investing in organic baby clothes is a great way to reduce our children's carbon footprint before they can even make decisions for themselves. 

If you're looking for an organic children's clothing brand, consider Kaba Baby. Equal parts affordable and stylish, our pieces are timeless reflections of black and brown diversity and culture.

Go for the File Fold

As the name suggests, file folding your baby's clothes means arranging the folded items like in a file cabinet. This ensures all the clothes are readily visible. Unlike stacking clothes on top of the other, this organizing method also ensures the pile doesn't fall over each time you pull out an item.

Drawer Dividers are Your Best Friends

Drawer dividers are great at segregating different categories of clothing items in a single drawer. Think, separating the bottoms from the tees and active clothes from the nightwear. This ensures your dresser drawers don't end up looking chaotic which ends up saving you time when you're dressing the little crawler.  

The Order is Important 

Speaking of chaotic dressers, here is a great drawer order you can follow when organizing baby clothes in the dresser:

• The Top Drawer

Since the top drawer of a dresser is the closest to you, consider stashing the most essential baby items here. From socks and onesies to burp cloths and diapers all the underclothes and cleaning supplies should go here.

• The Middle Drawers

The middle drawer's where the bulk of your little one's clothes will be. This would include the most used clothing items and everyday apparel. 

• The Bottom Drawer

Finally, the bottom drawer of the dresser will be used to store any seasonal clothes, like swimming trunks, hoodies, and jackets. If you've got the space, consider stashing extra blankies here too.
