how do you set up drawers for frat twins?

[happychild]

i know this seems a trivial and stupid question ...but i'm in the process of sorting out and getting my bubs' clothes....i have frat twins - 1 boy and 1 girl...

i have an older boy..so i actually have some passed down boy clothes...but alot of it is actually neutral (cos we didnt find out last time)....

so to all the mums of boy/girl twisn out there..how did you set up your drawers??

did you have 1 boy drawer, and 1 girl drawer? if that's the case - where do you put neutral stuff?? or did you just mix everything up??

any thoughts will be great! thanks!

In the start - I got one of those big cube units from Fantastic - boys on the left, girls on the right and unisex in the middle! But T-shirts all on the same level, onsies on the next, so you grabbed from the same height (hope that makes sense!!)

Now they are older and have less clothes - I have one drawer with shorts and t-shirts - boys on the left, girls on the right, any reds/whites etc in the middle. So I usually grab a pink and blue, then when running low, go for the unisex stuff.

I already had a boy and a girl, so we heaps of clothes for both our twins - but HEAPS more boys stuff from my sisters boys, so she often wears blues!

It's hard to remember back to the newborn days but initially I think I had things grouped by clothing item rather than whether they were for a boy or girl. So had all singlets together, all onsies, all tops, all bottoms etc. It was easy enough to see what colour I needed in the pile and pull it out. Now that my twins are older drawers are arranged a little differently. I have one hanging space and all tops and dresses hang there, in no particular order. Then I have four big drawers. The top one has all their wash cloths, singlets, socks, hats etc. The next one down is for my little boy - pjs, pants, shorts etc. The next one down is for my little girl - pjs, pants, shorts. Then the last drawer is for miscellaneous stuff and shoes.

Hope that helps!
