[quote=Anonymous]My kids are 3 (boy) and 1.5 (girl).

We were intentional from day one with buying primarily gender neutral stuff (which I tend to prefer anyway) since we’ll prob end up with 3 kids. We hand down nearly everything from DS to DD. We also get hand me downs from others. We are lucky that we have a gender-aligned source for each kid. Almost anything we need to buy we get from online thrift stores (thredup and swap.com)

In my daughters life I’ve probably spent less than $150 on clothes for her. One bear suit last winter (season was off from my son), one set of summer dresses and bathing suits last summer, and both her Christmas dresses. All but one dress were thrifted. Now that we’ve got a good source of hand me downs, we literally spent $0 on her last clothing size. I can’t imagine spending more than $50 or $100 total in the next couple years.

We spent more on my son in the early days because he was first and we didn’t get the hand-me-down situation set until he was about 2. I prob spent an average of $50 a month for him his first year of life (he also went through a LOT of sizes!). Probably the same his second year. We had fewer gifts, thrifted clothes got more pricey (there’s such a glut of little baby stuff that it’s dirt cheap), but also fewer sizes. Now that he’s in a size for about a year, and we’re locked in on hand me downs, it’s prob just $200 a year. [/quote]
