Saving for future kids
For those of you expecting to have more children, how much of your stash are you saving? A large part of why my husband lets me hunt down diapers day in and out is the economic factor of being able to use these for 2 or 3 more kids down the road. Then tonight he caught me taking photos of some that still fit (or will always be too big) and wanted to know why I was going to sell them

: . I figure I'll keep the ones I loved and sell the rest--that'll probably give me half a stash to save so I can buy a few of whatever's new and nifty when baby #2 shows up.
However, if it's 2 years or more before they get used, will elastic be dead, prints faded, and my favorite dipes not as wonderful as they once were by the time I take them out of storage? Our basement is 100 years old and leaks after rainstorms, so I'm hesitant to use anything other than Rubbermaid for storage.
I guess I'm just wondering what the rest of you gals do about diapering multiple kids.

I don't really know what to vote for.

: I saved pretty much all of Parker's stash, but he was a lot bigger than Bret. I just gave away most of Parker's old dipes b/c they were just too big for Bret, plus Bret has quite the stash anyway.
I have also found that some dipes that are not getting used have crackling elastic now.

I'm still hanging on to my favorites, but it's good for me to let some go too.

Voted selling what really didn't work, and I do it as we go.
I kept all my newborn fitteds to use with the next baby and the rest of my stash is all onesize so has never really had a chance to 'retire' :LOL my poor overworked dipes will be on their 4th booty in 5 years

My dilemma is whether to save some diapers for friends/converts or to donate them to the pediatrician's office for "show and tell" or what-have-you. Plus, I'm not very good at selling b/c I never know how to place a money value on things I love and things I didn't love. kwim?
But my guess is that I'll sell/give away most off the things and keep a few things to pull out when a younger friend gets pg to show how cute baby butts can be diapered.

I am keeping our basics.. prefolds, doublers, bummis and prorap covers and some small fuzzi bunz the rest will or has been sold already. Unless DS really needs something.. I buy him savings bonds with his diaper sales money.

We're saving most of it. I might sell 2-7 if/when ds grows out of them, but that's about it. I've tweaked and sold off the stuff that I didn't like (or ds could pee through in 5 minutes), so it's all stuff I love and that works.

Our entire stash includes 59 diapers, 20 of which are infant pf and are too small (they're acting as doublers right now) and 28 premium pf.
But I'm guessing I'll need to buy a handful of super-cute diapers later anyway when I start nesting or I'm stuck on the couch again nursing for weeks.
eta: I forgot about giving/selling them (cheaply, don't worry) to friends or family who will eventually have kids. I've already converted my sister who's still in college, my best friend from college who may not have children, and several of her single friends. It's the pregnant ones I have trouble with.
