Elin 😭😭 this really did it for me. Tugged at my heartstrings in the intro (the emotional labor of baby cloths is SO real!!) and then got me ready to shop for the cutesttt clothes, including some new-to-me kids brands! Unfortunately we must have those pjs.

THANK YOU. You know this, but I so appreciate your support as always <3 And the pj’s, we must! I think Janelle was the first person who intro’d me to that set so their fam must have them, too. Let’s all get em!!!

My pro tip? Keep 10-15 of your favorite newborn outfits and then get a 20” baby doll. It’s not therapist approved but I love changing the outfits on my daughter’s giant (slightly creepy) 20” Madame Alexander doll using all her actual newborn clothes. -Signed, a mom who also decided to stop at two. Sigh. Hahaha.

I’m going to text you a pic of what it’s wearing right now. Hhahahaha it’s so funny

Elin Strong's avatar

Genius! There’s a small pile of tiny pieces I haven’t been able to part with yet, but haven’t known what to do with, so this is it. Ty for your service, EGD!

Ok this is so niche but I searched for so long for a good one in a size that would fit her clothes and got this one on Black Friday for 50% off. It’s one of the most played with toys in the house! https://madamealexander.com/dolls/baby-dolls/realistic-newborn-baby-dolls/newborn-nursery-baby-face.html?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21608607275&gclid=Cj0KCQiAhaHMBhD2ARIsAPAU_D7gRNgJFPLJ6iDjSR2ORWx_IytRtyvgf99naSMWFYaS9ZrBSl5TQPsaAoZHEALw_wcB

Your first sentence could not be cooler Elin :)

Elin Strong's avatar

Coming from one of the coolest! I’ll take it :) Thanks, Tina. Appreciate you!

Ok the strawberry hat is everything.

Elin Strong's avatar

If you're signing off on it too, then I think I have to buy it.

EEEEELLLLIIIIINNNN!!!! These outfits are the cutest things I’ve ever seen. Please come dress my daughter.

PS- I have a bin with 4-6 outfits saved from my girls that feel particularly special to me that I will keep as momentos.

Elin Strong's avatar

um I WOULD LOVE TO play dress-up with *all of you*! And thanks for making me feel validated in saving a tiny pile of outfits that no longer fit either of them... thanks to EGD's comment here, now I know what I'll do with them!

My baby girl turns 1 in April and you better believe I’m already shopping for the occasion - saving that Hanna set! the balloons I die 🥹🎈

Elin Strong's avatar

Yay! And I get it, gotta start early….it’s such a time-consuming (and emotional) task! The balloon set is a personal fave. Thank you for reading, Amanda!

Obsessed with all of the looks. Plus! I spy one or two or three Hanna pieces and obviously wouldn’t be opposed to those 😂.

Childrenswear is just all too cute. One of the many reasons I love working in the industry.

Elin Strong's avatar

hehehe what can I say? We're team Hanna over here. Made me think of you at times when putting this together...and that we need to plan our next hang. xo

I think I will actually need that Safari Chic jacket in my size—it’s perfect 🐆

Elin Strong's avatar

My thoughts exactly!! Ty for reading, Christina!

Marina Mofford's avatar

Ugh, I felt this one, as my girl is also about to turn one. Also, the balloon birthday set is everything! Immediate add to cart! 🥹

Loved this, Elin!! Every time I handed my daughter’s dresses and outfits down to my niece, it pulled at my heartstrings—especially the special ones: the dresses she wore for holidays or the shirts she wore for picture day! Coastal kiddo is SO CUTE!

Omg, I love it all. I actually remember being pregnant with my second before I found out gender and doing the sorting and becoming mildly hysterical that if it wasn’t a girl, this strawberry romper might never get worn again. Fast forward, even with a second girl, I was so dang tired that we missed the window on so many hand-me-downs I considered mission critical. Fun fact: my daughters wore that Lola and the boys rainbow sparkle dress when they were flower girls in my brother’s wedding, and yes, I have held onto them!!

Love this and am right there with you with my 11-month old (how?!) wearing all of her sister’s old outfits.

I was SO tempted to buy something new when I was out with my toddler and she saw a cute baby sweater and asked me, “can we shop that for Lilly?” I said no at the time but need to make it up to both of them with some clothes just for my youngest!

Jordyn Sharfe's avatar

cuteness overload!!! And bookmarking to come back to for brand ideas when my keeps need new clothes.

Natalia Cropper, FNP-C,DipACLM's avatar

Omg the fairy wings?!? Every one of these outfits is darling. We’re hopping in and shopping with you.
