Hiya
I have a beautiful baby boy, he was born at 33 weeks. Due to his small size all of my family went to buy him preemie clothes and the only near highstreet store that sold them was asda, so I ended up with 15 of the same sleepsuits/vests/cardigans lol.

They no longer fit him anymore as hes 7 pounds (yay) he already has so many 0-3 months sized clothes (literally there is no room in the chest of drawers anymore) so I was going to give these to charity shop but I feel so bad because they are the first thing he wore :(

I was going to keep one of everything in a memory box or something, but no point keeping all of it.

Just feel bad and don't know if I should! lol
 
My daughter was premature too and very tiny. I've kept one of her babygros and the rest I'll be giving to our local SCBU. I've kept things that were handmade too.
 
You can have those memory Bears made from the babies old clothes would be a nice keepsake & something for him when he's a little older
 
I kept the baby gro she came home in and then had a memory bear made with some others x
 
I kept every thing my son had and good job too as we're having another!!
 
Ive kept the gro she came out of hospital in, and an outfit from spain.
Some i had a memory bear made from.
Got rid of everything else x
 
I only kept the first outfit he ever wore and his first pair is shoes, the rest I gave away
 
I plan to keep all of my daughters clothes for future babies we will hopefully have.

I have put the first vest and mittens she wore and her coming home outfit and put it into a memory frame along with her hospital band, cord clip and a photo.

You could donate them to your hospital special baby care unit, I'm sure other parents would be grateful for them.
 
I kept my boys and made a patchwork quilt and will be doing the same with my little girl
 
Funnily enough I've just pinned a baby clothes quilt on pinterest! Now to speak nicely to my mum who's a dab hand with the sewing machine!
 
I gave a lot of my premise clothes back to the scbu unit as I had to borrow clothes for the first week. X
 
I gave away loads of mine, wish I hadn't now I'm pregnant again lol x
