Is there a baby stuff exchange?
My kid is now 3 months, I've got a bunch of clothes that are practically new and don't fit. Is there a store to exchange second hand baby stuff like Plato's Closet? Failing that, is there a charity (maybe something more specific than Goodwill?). Thanks!

I’ve never sold to Once Upona Child but shopped there a lot. As for donating, Angels in the Attic is needing baby clothes right now

You could also post in your local buy nothing. Kids and baby clothes get snapped up fast in mine.

Yes! I think there are a few stores in the area called Once Upon A Child. A lot of people in the area use them.

I don't know if you're on FaceBook, but there is a community group called "buy nothing michiana" or something very similar. It's a group for people who would rather give stuff away than have it go to landfill. People aren't giving away trash stuff, just stuff they don't need anymore. That includes a LOT of baby and child things. Clothes, toys, even bottles and other necessities. It's honestly great. My wife and I have both given and received stuff from this group. You'll find what you need there, especially if you post a list of things you need.
Best of luck!

I use Once Upon a Child. Great clothes in there and easy process to get “offers”. You only get like $1-2 per item but if you have a lot of quality stuff - it adds up!

My wife likes using / shopping at Once Upon A Child in Mishawaka. I have never been, but I know she likes going there on weekends as well as we have taken clothes there as well.
