Our baby has outgrown his NB/Small diaper covers and fitted diapers. I haven't had much trouble getting rid of his outgrown or unwanted clothes and toys, but for some reason I'm feeling really hoardy when it comes to his diaper stuff. I'm not sure why. Because these are things I bought/made myself, as opposed to his clothes/toys, which were mostly gifts? Because the explicit purpose (for our family) of CDing is to be less wasteful, so getting rid of them after one baby feels wasteful to me? Argh.
But they're just sitting here, taking up space. And who knows when we'll have another baby - meanwhile, they're not being used, the clock is ticking on the elastic, some other family could get good use out of them right now, etc. So intellectually, I know I should get rid of them. I know that if I have another baby and need new cloth diapers, I can buy or make them at that point. I know all of that. And yet I'm having a hard time letting them go. It's pretty ridiculous!
I want to pass them on to a family who would get good use out of them, but how? I don't really want to deal with the hassle of selling them, but - and this is not rational, I know - I kind of worry that if I just give them to someone on craigslist, gratis, that person won't actually use them, they'll just sit in their garage until they end up throwing them out.
(I know, not rational. Once I pass something on, it's none of my business what someone does with it.)
Help? I don't know why this is making me so hoardy and emotional and weird.
