Saved Baby items

Does anybody still have any of their baby items saved? Clothes, toys, diapers, plastic pants, any furniture, stroller, carriage.

For me, I don't think I have anything left, but for my baby carriage. I saved that and refurbished it a few years back. Thought my sister would use it for my niece. Other than that, I think it's all gone :'( I think anything useable got handed down to my cousins, anything else got trashed. About 7 years ago I got rid of my baby crib, that I had to concede to, it was probably still ok safety wise, to be used even though it was over 47 years old, it was my sisters before me. But nobody could have used it, and it had to go because it was in my parents attic and they were selling the house. I wish I still had some of my things, just a few small tid bits would do. So how about everyone else, what do you have?

My old playpen its all solid wood, not the cheaP stuff they make now. but thats it that i know of at least.

My mean old daddy threw out all of my baby items except for one, my crib. He couldn't throw this out because my grandfather gave this to my parents shortly before he passed away and there was a clause in grandpa's will saying that dad could not get rid of anything that grandad had made.

Thank God that my mom was able to retrieve this, and now I have it in my room, only I took one end off of it and extended the crib to fit myself, then I replaced the original end.

Sorry to hear your dad got rid of all taht stuff. But at least you got the crib. And it's being put to good use!

My mom did this all the time when I was growing up. Out went the toys she thought weren't good anymore, then I would pull them out of the trash.

I still have a baby blanket

We still have a full nursery back home in Manitoba.The furniture is all made of solid oak. My Grandfather made it as a gift for my pregnant mother coming to Canada after she married dad during WW2. This furniture was very well done and indestructible. Our family had nine children and we all did our time in them. Many grand children as well and I have tried them back on for size as well. Too big, too fat & too old, oh well I have the diapers down pat.

My wife has saved my teddy bear. I think my wife has it stored in her Hope Chest.

Sincerely,

baby Stephen

I had a patch work quilt my grandma made that I sleep with until it feel apart 😢

I still have my old playpen & used to have the crib.

I have one of my first stuffed animals, a rabbit(which has a plastic face). If anyone ever cuts or tear her open all my fears, worries, sad things will just come spilling out. This I know. I have since passed her onto our daughter. Hope she keeps her with her. I lost my other stuffed animal, another rabbit, at the last house we lived in. I don't know what happened to it. Keep thinking the ghost that lived in the house took it.

I have a dozen of my Mother's best made diapers from her old Company. They are almost perfectly new in condition and I have them saved away in a special place. Since the passing of Mom back a few years ago these diapers could never be replaced. I think I can empathize with the folks that still have their baby blankets and or a special Teddy.

Just one big warm and fussy in the old memories from childhood.

[/quote]Not nice! Sometimes ghost are not nice people! Well, maybe it was an AB type ghosty ??? :😃

Who knows Miss, if the ghost took them, maybe they will come back to you without notice someday. 😉

I would like that Luvs, because this stuffed rabbit had a broken music box. I was hoping sub would fix her someday. The ghost should enjoy her company anyway. 😃

Is the ghost male or female? 😮

We never found out. It liked to open and close the kitchen cupboards and it took a couple of other things(which I can't remember). It never confronted or bothered us otherwise. I did like my rabbit, but maybe it makes them feel better too.

Ya think one of these ghost could help a guy (gal) out, and maybe scribble a winning number on some paper, or even if it was scratched into some furniture! That would be nice. If your going to be a ghost, be helpful to the world you left!!! >😢

For many years, my mother kept the enema can,4-ounce bulb and rectal thermometer I was raised with. Sadly, they seem to have been discarded during a move, but I probably would have been too shy to ask for them first.

I have several the best is a baby blanket from when I was little and I still sleep with it. I also have one pair or diaper pins from when I was little as well.

I think age 6 was the last time I still had my baby blanket. There wasn't much left to it by then however. Not something that would have been saved given the condition 😢

I still have some my old baby clothes and i still have my crib and highchair

I have an circa 1970 fisher price rolly ball with carousel inside. I keep it with my AB/DL stuff. it's nice to have the connection.

I still have a couple of juvenile PJ tops I was super attached to as a kid that I refused to give up. They're tattered rags these days, but after my mom FINALLY got me to give them up, she saved them. Ironcially, the year I started getting into playing Pamper games as an adult was the last year Carter's made the same style PJs in boys XL, which I purchased and still keep around to wear on special occasions. Bummed they discontinued the bigger sized line but so glad I found 2 pairs before they disappeared... attachment issues much? 😉

All I have left is one yellow topped diaper pin. It is the kind with the metal cap ( that's the yellow part) that slides over the pin to keep it closed. Can't seem to find these in stores anymore, and I lost the other one some years ago. Too bad - I liked those Diaper-pins!

When breaking up my parents house after they were both gone I found a box with a teething ring and rattle in my mothers stuff.

My mum and Dad have saved few things. My few toys, a warm blanket in which my dad first held me in . The fred flinstone printed bottle for milk, a bib & shoes I wore for the first time 😃

I still have most of my old curity cloth flat diapers 21x40 stored in my closet. I have added many hundred more cloth diapers and wear all the time. I still have my mickey crib blanket on my bed to sleep with too. .lol

The safety pins used on my diapers 50+ years ago. My elderly mother found them amongst her things.

Does my plushie penguin and my blankie count ?
