[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, unless it was clear they were on loan.

Btw, someone (a relative) did this to my sister after her first born.  So she just gave everything that person gave her back.  She was very offended. [/quote]

I don't want everything back, just a few sleepsacks.

I should add that the sleepsacks I gave to her were from my son. She had a boy last year. I had a girl last month. The sleepers and sleepsacks I gave her are neutral or blue. I just gave her six bags of boy clothes last week. I am not going to want the other boy clothes back for my daughter.

I guess I will just go out and buy some new sleepsacks. No big deal.[/quote]

OP, I think it is fine to ask very generally - "do you have any sleep slacks for a 3 month old I might be able to borrow?  We have everything else we need for DD, but given how quickly she will grow out of them, we are hoping to just borrow a few."  Then it is clear that you don't want your stuff back, you would just like to use the sleep sacks.  Given that you gave her (and keep giving her) a bunch of clothes, I don't think this is a big deal.

I wouldn't be offended if my SIL, who gave me all of her kids clothes, asked for something back.  Part of being friends/family is being able to communicate what you need (and then graciously accept the response).[/quote]
