Yes. Why would you hang on to stuff you can't use? Give them to her or you will seem really petty and unpleasant and I'm sure you want to have a good relationship with her.

Yes - they belong to the baby, so please give them back to your soon-to-be ex d.i.l. Divorce is always sad. I hope you manage to maintain a reasonably good relationship with her , for the sake of the baby. Good luck to all...

wildswan ?
Once you have given something it belongs to the recipient, not you.

I'd love my DC to come and clear my loft!

If you bought them and gifted them to your son and DIL then they belong to them. You can't take back a gift once given.

It is up to your son and DIL to decide who keeps what after the divorce. Not something you should be involved with in any way.

Yes unless there are other babies in the family you might need them for, in which case have a chat with your son and ask if you can keep a few things at your place for baby visits. Nothing should be kept without their agreement though.

To hang on to things you have no use for would be known and a 'dog in a manger' attitude!
