  I washed everything in Newborn and 0-3 months before LO was born.  BUT, I wish I would have only washed a handful of things.  He didn't wear most of what we had.  Could have returned for bigger size.  Also, Dreft is really expensive.  We use All Free Clear.  You can use any "free" detergent... there a ton out there.  Just an FYI!  Good luck!

  I washed all the NB and 0-3 month stuff before she was born, in Dreft.  And I'm glad I did, because it took a long time to cut all those tags!  The packaging for baby clothes is ridiculously complicated. 

  The bigger stuff, I still haven't cut the tags or washed, because she still hasn't gotten big enough to even fit into the bigger cut 0-3 month stuff. 

  IMHO, clothes need to be washed prior to wearing in case of any residual chemicals from the manufacturing process.  I didn't want to take the chance that she'd have an allergic reaction.

  I washed some of the t-shirts, onesies, socks, and items. The outfits I waited until after he was born (I still washed before her wore them) so if they didn't fit they could be returned. I did because I have very sensitive skin, and wasn't sure if he would have it (which he does). I didn't use Dreft, I used Free Clear by All.

  I washed all of mine in wooliet before DD came. I would keep the tags on NB size but was the 0-3's because the will fit better IMO!

  IMO Dreft is a huge waste of money and I use regular detergent.  I kept the tags on most of them so I could exchange depending on DD's size.  Which was a good thing because DD was in the 25th percentile for the first couple months and shot up to the 95th percentile by 4 months.  I do wash them before she wears them.  DD was born in April, so I had some spring type 0-3 clothes she couldn't wear until June that I exchanged for more weather appropriate clothes.

  I washed all of LO's clothes before she arrived.  The only ones I didn't wash were those that I didn't think she would need/wear and if they had tags on so that I could return them.  It made me feel better to wash and organize them by size in her closet before she was born.  It's fun too!

  This, too.  But my DD was born in summer, so we kept her in only a diaper most of the time, since skin is easier to clean than clothes.  Since your baby is going to be born in the winter, you may want more clothes washed and on hand than the pp or I used.

  I washed all NB and 0-3 clothes. I am glad that I didn't because it took forever to get all of the tags off!

  I would wash all clothes before LO wears them. You don't have to use Dreft to can just use a "free" detergent.
