10 Clever Ways to Organise Baby Clothes

Life with a baby is full of joy—and with it comes an abundance of tiny clothes! Keeping those onesies, pyjamas, and socks in order can quickly become overwhelming, especially when your little one seems to outgrow their wardrobe within three wears. With a few creative ideas, you can streamline your baby’s wardrobe and make getting them dressed so much easier. Here are ten ways to organise baby clothes, with special tips for managing socks (and Sock Ons!) like a pro. 

Drawer Dividers: A Game-Changer for Tiny Clothes

Baby clothes are small, so they can easily get jumbled in big drawers. Invest in some adjustable drawer dividers to separate onesies, trousers, and pyjamas. You’ll save time searching for that perfect outfit and keep everything neat and tidy. Dedicate one section to socks and Sock Ons to make your mornings smoother.

Sort by Size and Season

Babies grow quickly, so keeping clothes organised by size and season is a must. Use labelled storage boxes or baskets to store outgrown clothes or those they’ll grow into. Clear storage containers work wonders, allowing you to see exactly what’s inside. 

Sock-Specific Solutions

Baby socks have a knack for disappearing into thin air. Keep them paired up by using small mesh laundry bags during washes. Once they’re clean, store them in a separate container within a drawer or wardrobe, like a mini basket or box.

Incorporate Sock Ons into Your Routine

Sock Ons are a lifesaver for keeping socks in place on wiggly baby feet. To stay organised, designate a spot in your sock container for Sock Ons. A small, labelled box or a pouch with a zip works perfectly for easy access when you need them.

Use Over-the-Door Organisers

If you have limited space, you will love over-the-door organisers. Designed with pockets, these are ideal for storing smaller items like socks, mittens, and baby shoes. You can even dedicate a pocket for Sock Ons so they never get lost.

Roll and Stack

For compact storage, roll onesies, leggings, and pyjamas and arrange them upright in drawers. This method not only maximises space but also makes it easy to see all options at a glance. Roll socks together and place them in one of the sections to avoid mismatches. 

Label Everything

Labels are a lifesaver for busy parents as you can see what's in each section of the drawer or storage box at a glance. Use small tags, sticky notes, or printable labels for drawers, baskets, and shelves. Clearly mark sections for clothes, socks, and Sock Ons to make tidying up easier for everyone, even visiting family members. 

Keep a Donation Box Handy

As your baby outgrows clothes, it’s easy for them to start accumulating in a pile. Keep a designated donation bag or box in your baby’s room or laundry area. Whenever an item no longer fits, pop it in the box to keep your storage manageable. 

Rotation System for Everyday Essentials

For clothes and socks used daily, keep a rotation system in place. Store the most frequently worn items in the easiest-to-reach spots, such as the top drawer or front-facing shelf. Tuck less-used or special-occasion pieces toward the back or in higher storage. 

Sock Ons: The Unsung Heroes of Baby Organisation

Sock Ons are a small but mighty essentials for your baby’s wardrobe. By dedicating specific spaces to these items, you’ll save yourself the frustration of hunting down missing pairs or misplaced Sock Ons. 

With these organisational tips, you can conquer the chaos and enjoy the adorable (and tidy!) wardrobe you’ve curated for your little one.
