washing babies clothes

[jess_smurf]

i was told by MW not to use any fabric conditioner for atleast first 4 weeks of baby's life and its quite irritant and to just use fairy non-bio as gives slightly softer feel but might still be a bit squeeky

I washed all mine at 37 weeks (this weekend) just remember if you dont have a tumble dryer you need to find somewhere to hang everything i filled the line and the radiators and had to go to my mums with the rest and that was just 1 load!!! everything is so tiny !!!

wow really? is it not something to do with them having some kind of partnership with fairy and the bounty packs? seeing as that's whatyou get in them

with first son nan washed everything in non bio and usedfab cond and he was ok it would be odd to not use fab cond though wouldn't it? i don't thinnk clothes feel/iron/look as well/good you know. i'd felt like i hadn't washed them properly kwim?

Erm....

I'm supposed to wash it all before it's worn?

yep...coz if they're second hand obviously they need a wash and if they're new the industrial washing stuff they use isn't good plus they can get dirty in transit/packaging/instore.

Ok. New rule. Anyone who buys me stuff must wash it first.

I'd have thought if it was an issue, they'd note it on the lable?

Think they assume that everyone washes before using chick, some of the stuff can feel quite starchy, but apparently some places use a starch or something on the clothes to keep them looking nice on the hanger in shop xxx

Last time my mw said as long as i used a baby freindly fabric softener, like the comfort pure that comes in bounty pack you get once baby born it is fine.
I used that with my son and he has never had a problem, guess it's up to the individual mum but i am using comfort pure on all my baby stuff this time too.
All have been washed in fairy non bio first xxx
