I'm Currently Feeling:  | I asked my mw, she said to wash everything eventually, but to leave the boys clothes until after LO was born just to be sure. I've heard that some companies use chemicals to make the clothes look and feel 'new'. I'm not sure how true that is though. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | i am washing them right now!! And i'm happy about it - cant wait to see them hanging on the line!!
There's a lot of talk about bio and non bio detergents and baby detergents etc. I live in France and we dont get a choice of bio or non bio and babies here do fine so i'm taking no notice of that. I'm washing my babies clothes in half the amount of my usual detergent so it's safer for baby's delicate skin. If he has a reaction I know this detergent is no good. But until then I'll use half doses.
I'm also pre-washing my washable nappies. Aparently they need to be washed 3 times. It says to NOT use fabric softer.
Think I'll give the nappies an extra rinse too to make sure there is no soap left in them as they'll be sitting on bubas most sensitive bits and pieces. |

| I'd wash them. I'll be washing all of mine.
Seriously I can't believe people still dont. Do you know what conditions clothes are kept in before they get to the store?!?! You'll see one image and you'll never let a single garment come near you let alone your baby before it goes through the washing machine.
This doesn't change if the clothes are sealed in packets either. They're only sealed in packets in the shops. Not in the warehouses or the ships where all sorts of uglies get into them.
I wash absolutely everything! Doesn't matter who the outfit is for. It's washed before worn. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Snap i have washed everything for bubs, new clothes do tend to be sprayed with chemicals to keep them looking pristine and crease free when truthfully they are pretty filthy!

| LOL!! Reading all the posts about ironing here. I'm so so so looking forward to washing everything and putting it out on the line but the ironing.... I'm looking at the huge pile of baby grows and body vests I've collected (this is without what I'll get at my baby shower) and just imagining the torture of standing there ironing it all... noooooooooo!!! Please!! Anything but that!
I HAAAATE ironing!!! I'm always trying to get out of it. Especially now cause after a while my back starts killing me. | | | | Status: Offline
