Who cares! If the clothes are in good shape, no stains/rips, run them through the washer. I buy second hand for my whole family and save a BUNDLE! Lots of stuff on line still have the tags on them.

I would never buy baby clothes that I couldn`t see in person. But I have bought things at garage sales and resale shops and I will in the future - that`s what washing machines are for!

I bought so much stuff at yardsales for this baby! I found two really good ones that they only had one child and had so many clothes most outfits were only worn like one time with no stains! The only thing I would say about e-bay is you can`t fully inspect the clothing in person, up close, and in some good light. But if you find some good stuff for a good price I`d say go for it!

I bought my daughters almost entire wardrobe and yardsales and thrift stores i mean its like 10 dollers cheaper and just as nice, i mean people try on clothes and stores and buy them and bring them back what the diffrence

I got tons of my daughters baby clothes from yard sales! Used items and new outfits for $1.00... can`t beat that! As long as you wash them first.

Go for it! U can check everything out & make sure it`s stain free. U can always wash it. Even a couple times if you feel the need.....I buy used all the time! U can find GREAT deals on Ebay, and also at second hand shops! ....Why not save ALOT when you can? I don`t see anything wrong with it!

If its in nice shape and attractive to me I`d buy it. Who cares? I buy stuff (baby clothes, baby items) at garage sales all the time. Saves money. I`d be a little skeptical about eBay because you cant see the clothes in person.

There are plenty of consignment shops that sell gently used clothing. You can walk in, inspect the clothing carefully, and know for sure before you buy. No shipping fees either.

I love a good deal. I buy my 10 yo dd, 8 yo ds school clothes from ebay, second hand stores (i.e. Once Upon a Child, Plato`s Closet etc.) I also buy from yard sales.

i think its a GREAT way to recycle and their is nothing wrong with it,i think its time to get over your self when you become a parent and by buying used nice clothes can help you save money to get better things like a nicer home ect. for your family.

If the clothes are in good condition I would use them. The baby will grow out of it very quickly. I got a bunch of clothes from a neighbor and I plan on using them. You can just get rid of the ones you really don`t like or are stained or worn out. Hope this helps, Angie

I see nothing wrong with used clothes as long as they are in decent shape and don`t have holes or stains all over them.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
