s/o washing baby clothes...

Are you washing everything? I'm hesitant to wash too much before I know how big (or small...haha, not likely!) he will be. How are you ladies deciding how much to wash?

    We really don't have all that much 0-3 month or 3-6 month clothes, so we washed everything. I have already received as gifts or picked up a few 6-9 months and I'm going to leave that for later to wash--mainly because I'm not sure how much of it he'll be able to fit into when, in terms of weather.

    Onesies, blankets, footie sleepers are always safe to wash early because they can be worn big anyway. Other than that, it really is hard to know.

    Good question! We got a ton of hand-me-downs and I was planning to wash it all. Most of the stuff we get new with tags I'll probably hold off washing until she's here (just hang in her closet).

    I washed all the hand me down clothes we received and anything I couldn't take back to the store.  I am holding off on some the stuff I get with tags and receipts in case I need to return it because of size.

    I was lucky that my Mom put in a load for me while I was at the hospital.  

    I took a couple of outfits to the hospital to see what size would fit. 

    Any chance you could have a couple of different loads (by sizes) and then ask someone at home to do a load before you get home?

     

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    Most of his clothes are hand-me-downs (thank you sil!!!) so we are washing everything 0-3. The 3-6 mo. stuff in his dresser will also be washed. We will have 3-6 hanging in the closet unwashed. I'd rather wait until closer to wash them. Anything 6mo + is staying packed away.

    That's a good idea! Yes, we have plenty of people who could throw a load in!

    We don't really have people that close to throw a load in for us so I am actually planning to wash all the 0-6 monhts clothes since it's mostly gowns and onsies.  Then he should be all set.  I left all the nbs stuff in a pile w/tags still on just in case he needs them. The way I figure it, he will be able to get away with wearing the bigger sizes no matter if he's 10 lbs but the NB is the questionable stuff.
