This topic is real important!

As we begin to buy clothing for our babies or receive gifts from others.
I would like to know have you started washing your baby's clothes yet?

I ask this because most women wouldn't even consider doing so (washing) or even think about this matter. They figure the clothes are brand new and it wouldn't do any harm to the baby.

Ladies....just in case you might have forgotten:

Don't forget to wash your baby clothes/items from the bibs, socks, crib bumper sets, and all.

You wouldn't want your baby developing any skin rashes.

Just something to consider, for the safety of you and your baby.

Please Note:
Don't forget to use Baby Detergent..

Some people advise against washing everything right away because ultrasounds can be wrong. I just washed my stuff only because I had 3 ultrasounds that said boy so I'm pretty confident (hope I don't eat my words). I also washed blankets and such in Dreft baby detergent. I was saying boy since the moment I found out I was pregnant but after hearing of two recent stories of the ultrasound being wrong you can't help but wonder somewhat.

I've washed everything including my pram liner in fairy. Washing baby stuff is the only kind of laundry I don't mind doing!

im gonna wash all our baby clothes but didnt even think of the pram liners or the cot bumpers.

i dont think i will wash cot bumper coz all the padding inside it may all break up and ruin the bumper.

whats best to wash baby clothes in?
non bio or bio?

baby is due end of july so i was gonna wash baby clothes in june is that too early or too late?

I've always been told to use non bio because it's best if you have sensitive skin.

I don't think washing your babies clothes in June is too early. I did most of mine a few weeks ago but only finished a few days ago because I'm lazy!

Mrs-N

yes thats what i though about non bio.
yes im gonna wash baby stuff in june coz if i do it too soon they will need to be washed again.

i cant wait to start washing the baby stuff,i know its only washing but it means baby will be coming soon.

anita- how r u? did i read in a thread that you have moved? where are you now coz u were in norwich,wernt you?

I've been thinking about this too. I want to wash my babies stuff too but firstly it's all pink. Which is fantastic if they got the gender right but knowing my luck.. well let say if it is a boy he'll have to like pink. Also they have told me that my baby is big so I'm unsure what sizes will fit her best. This weekend I'm gonna take back the few Newborn bits I have and get a bigger size. So I think what I'll do is just wash a few bits to get me thru the first little while *just incase* then I can bung a few more loads on when I'm sure xXx

I washed everything first...and I didn't know about the baby detergent and then someone told me that I have to use baby detergent...so I re-washed everything again! It was kind of fun though
