Re: when to start washing....

  • I did after my shower (32 weeks)
  • Loading the player...
  • I just took out all the baby clothes to wash them and realized I didn't get the non biological detergent that I was supposed to get this week. So I'm just sitting here wondering if I should just wash them with the regular detergent that I have now.

  • I washed everything after my shower which was last weekend. I'm sure I'll rewash the crib bedding closer to his arrival, but all the clothes are washed and put away.

  • The clothes and blankets I washed as I recieved them.  The bedding I did around 36 weeks, when we finished the nursery. 
  • I have been washing stuff as I recieve them.  But I am holding off on the bedding, which for us is only going to be a sheet. Nothing else is going in the bed.   Everything else I have put a pillow case or something over to keep from getting dusty.  All clothes I have put away in drawers or hung in closet.

    ditto.  i've already washed his bedding, but i'll probably rewash as the date gets closer.

  • This. Had it done by 32 qeeks, but I keep buying things that need to be washed, so I keep doing the last load.... I guess with my contractions and swelling I won't be going anywhere until she makes her appearance, so it might be safe to actually do the 'last load' :)
  • Wow, 38 weeks was too late when I had DS, he was born at 37w5d.  I've already started washing some things and will finish pretty soon.  IMO, get it done, it's not going to get dirty when it's not being used.
  • I finished washing everything after our last shower which was at 32 weeks. I had quite a few loads, so I'm glad I started early (I started after our first shower, which was at 24 weeks).
  • I started washing at around 28 weeks but started to run out of nesting things to do so i've been rewashing some things.The newer things that I have been getting, I've been washing them as I get them and imediately putting them away. I washed the crib bedding last week but I will probably wash it again as I start to get closer. You could probably start washing anytime now but I wouldn't wait until 38 weeks just in LO is early.
