Washing baby clothes

[Katied1]

Is this best to do before LO arrives? I know I wear new clothes before I've washed then but thinking baby might be different? X

There are certain chemicals in new clothes so best to give a quick wash! Its a fun job!

I've just started washing a few bits yesterday x

 

[Katied1]

Will you wash everything? X

I've washed everything, newborn skin is very sensitive. Don't use softener and use non bio powder. I use an ecoegg as it's chemical free. X

 

[Katied1]

Ah ok not sure if mine is non bio I use surf ill have to check x

 

[umbongo]

I have to use it for myself anyway, horribly allergic to bio washing powder! X

 

[Sam2013]

I use fairy and comfort fabric softener that came in my free packs x yes washing everything bibs socks mitts the lot xx

 

[Katied1]

I use comfort anyway but I just read not to use fabric softener? X

Up to you I guess, I was advised not to, and it affects absorbency so muslins, reusable wipes, nappies etc shouldn't be washed in it.
I'm almost about keeping things 'natural' esp for baby's skin. I know some people love the smells of softener, just use the sensitive one if you do use it (i would advise) xx

Yes I washed all the babies bits including towels, sheets, blankets and soft toys!

 

[Sam2013]

I used comfort pure its fine to use for baby's x

 

[Katied1]

Thanks ladies! I think I'm a bit dubious as I don't want to ruin any of his cutie pie clothes lol x

 

[Sam2013]

Comfort pure helps the cloths stop bobbling and tangling use Persil non bio or fairy they smell gorg x

Yup I washed everything inc cot n Moses basket bedding towels washable toys etc. I used fairy non bio for it all and only used comfort softner in addition on the towels xx

 

[Vicm]

I've done all mine now. Even took all Moses apart and washed all that too and all his blankets etc. I'm defiantly going to be bored when my maternity starts!

I washed all our baby stuff before she arrived....loved folding it all up in the drawers but I soon stopped washing everything before she wore it when the baby presents kept piling in lol or I would have never kept up! X
