washing all the clothes?

[mixedbeautyx]

I haven't but I plan to, does anyone have recommendations on baby detergent?

why wouldn't you wash them?! think about the warehouses and stores those clothes/items have been sat in...all the grubby hands that will have touched them...and then imagine putting those clothes on your baby! I wash everything

I did, but only because i loved the smell of comfort! and i had nothing better to do

I think in new clothes there can be chemicals that may hurt sensitive skin? im not sure? but that one of the reasons its advisable to wash them x

 

[Mummy1995]

I think I will only wash things which are on hangers and not in plastic packaging. I won't wash second hand stuff as it's coming from my brother and I know he would have washed it anyway

Yes, you are supposed to wash everything. They have super sensitive skin.

I think its personal choice, we went for a non-scented, extra-sensitive washing tablets xx

Yes, Baby clothes are also often sprayed with formaldehyde before being shipped; this is done to preserve the "fresh" look of the clothing. Chemicals are not something you want on your newborn's sensitive skin.

I religiously wash all of my and OH's clothes before wearing them, I wouldn't dream of not washing anything that my LO regularly comes into contact with.

I did wash all of his newborn clothes before he was born. It was just a nesting thing but also put my mind at rest because I wasn't sure what could've been on the clothes. Even though they were new, I'm sure loads of different people touched them, they were on the floor one time or something else. I just look at it, it's better safe than sorry. Now though, I don't wash his new clothes before he wears them!
