Washing newborn clothes

I spent ages washing mine and then she came 6 weeks early so we had to emergency buy loads of smaller clothes and obviously couldn’t wash them 😂 I don’t think it matters really

I’ve done all of mine and it did take forever. It may not make a blind bit of difference, so it’s down to what you feel comfortable with. X

I wash everything! Xx

Always wash any new clothes. It's not sanitary to use them without washing, specially for a baby.

I’ve washed everything. I got a few bits after my baby shower and literally washed the last of everything today. Babies skin is very sensitive so I just feel comfortable knowing that they will be wearing clean clothes. But I guess situation like Alex’s when baby comes early and you have to rush and buy smaller sizes then I get not being able to wash.

I washed everything from flannels, sleeping bags socks, blankets etc. everything! Weeks ago but I have washed and put away I stated at 30 weeks I’m now 36 and it’s all washed and put away

I washed everything with my first, but he was too tiny for newborn things. Partner bought smaller bits and bought them to the hospital and the nurse said i couldn't put them on him until they had been washed. He was in the nicu so that may of made a difference but i will wash everything now regardless. I have bought baby girl 2/3 tiny outfits this time just in case, so i will have time to buy and wash more if needed x

Edited to add: sometimes youve no idea what has happened to these clothes prior to you buying either, while in storage and even on the shop floor. They could have been dropped on the shops floor before being put back, someone could have coughed and sneezed on them etc x

I wash everything mainly because there's something on clothes that makes them a bit stiff and chemical smelling when new and I want everything fresh, soft and smelling lovely for my baby 👶 I don't bother washing new stuff for myself though because weirdly like the smell of new clothes!

I've washed all mine 😊 there's more coming so will wash them too xx

Ive washed absolutely everything that he will come into contact with.. like car seat covers, the lot (so difficult to get off lol)

Thanks everyone I have washed everything I have bought for Bubs and will continue to do so. Glad to hear most of you do the same! It’s true we don’t know what has happened to them before purchasing. Also the smell of fairy baby comfort in the house is just amazing 😍🥹
