Im sure this question has been asked, but I cant find an pp on it.. Is is necessary to wash all new baby clothes??? I did it when I had my DD but dont know that Im gonna do it this time around.
I watch my DD walk through stores accidently knocking clothes on the floor all the time. Yes, I am washing all new baby clothes. The exception might be clothes leftover from DD because I know they were washed before they went into storage but they have already been rewashed before putting them in drawers so that's a moot point.
I am washing everything because you never know where they have been. Also, some newborn's skin is so sensitive and I do know the manufacturers use sizing that helps keep clothes looking pressed, and it can be an irritant.
I think you're supposed to because new clothes can have a lot of dyes and other things that might irritate baby's skin.
This exactly.
My mom still gets on my case if I wear clothes without washing them first. For me. So I always do, unless I'm desperate.
Niblet's clothes will all get washed before she wears them, but I haven't done it yet because I haven't bought baby-friendly detergent yet, and then I'll start. (Also, I haven't had my shower yet so I haven't gotten enough to fill a full load at this point, and have resisted buying anything on my own because everyone apparently loves to buy baby girls' clothes.)
I wash everything. I still wash all of DD's clothes before she wears them. She has really sensitive skin. Who knows if it would irritate her if I didn't wash them, but it makes me feel better. And the thought of tons of people touching all the clothes creeps me out, especially for NB clothes.
YES! they put all sorts of nasty chemicals on the clothes to make them wrinkle free, etc. Just google it. You dont want that stuff soaking into your nb's skin.
I wash everything before anyone in the family wears it. DS had a reaction when I was desperate one night and put brand new pj's on him. I won't be doing that again!
