One bin labeled "baby clothes"
A single bin with no size or season notes means opening everything every time. A size range or season note on the record saves the search.
BABY CLOTHES STORAGE
Find the right baby clothes without opening every bin.
Totely helps parents store and find baby clothes by size, season, child, condition, and location, so outgrown clothes do not disappear into mystery bins.
Before Totely
The baby clothes problem
Baby clothes get packed away quickly, bins get labeled "baby clothes," and months later nobody remembers which container has newborn pajamas, 6-month sleepers, winter coats, or hand-me-downs.
The Totely way
The Totely way

Heads up
Common storage mistakes
These are the patterns that make storage harder over time.
Skipping the photo
Without a photo, a bin full of size 3-6 month clothes looks identical to a bin of size 6-12 month clothes from the outside.
No location note for under-bed or attic storage
Baby clothes spread across closets, attic bins, under-bed storage, and guest rooms. A saved location note prevents the whole-house search.
Not updating after a growth spurt
When a child grows out of a size quickly, clothes get tossed into bins without records. A quick update keeps the inventory accurate for future use.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How should I organize baby clothes by size?
Use one bin per size range — newborn, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, and so on. Number each bin, photograph the contents, and add a size and season note. Totely keeps the record searchable so you can find the right stage when you need it.
What should I write on baby clothes storage bins?
A simple number is enough. Written labels like "Baby Clothes 6-12M" can fade, peel, or become inaccurate as bins get shared or repurposed. The number connects to a digital record with photos, size notes, and location saved in Totely.
Can Totely track hand-me-downs?
Yes. You can add notes to any record — donor name, condition, size range, or next child it is intended for. When you need a specific item, you can search and find the right bin.
Can I use Totely for under-bed storage?
Yes. Totely is not limited to garage bins. Under-bed containers, closet shelves, attic boxes, and storage unit totes all work the same way. Add a location note to any record.
Do I need to organize all baby clothes at once?
No. Start with one size range or the bin you access most. Add a photo and size note, save the location, and expand from there. A few cataloged bins are more useful than a perfect system that never gets started.
