In my opinion, I don’t judge anyone: I don’t put anything in the wardrobe unless I’ve washed it first, my own clothes and my daughter’s. Just imagine how many people in shops don’t wash their hands or try on clothes without having had a shower (adults, in this case) and then touch everything – the next person who buys those clothes takes all their germs home with them too. I don’t know, maybe I’m just being paranoid, but it disgusts me. I could never not wash them before putting them in contact with other clothes in the wardrobe.

Same as above, also, most if not all of our clothes are made in dusty factories in other countries so I wouldn’t want that on mine or my family’s bodies

I always wash all clothes before wearing. The factories and store rooms in shops are gross. And other people are touching and sneezing etc all over them

Im the same as the Mums above. Im sure its fine whatever you chose to do.. more a personal preference but I don’t ever not wash anything new for any of us at home.
My little boy is 14 months old, and has gorgeous curly hair, but it’s starting to get quite long in the back. He has a natural baby mullet going on 😂
I don’t want him to lose his baby curls, but I also don’t want him to have a scruffy rat tail 🙈
When did you get your little one’s hair cut for the first time?

Second bubba my first was completely different. Tips to get newborn to sleep at night in next to me, I’ve tried everything she just wants to latch on all night(breastfeeding) I’ve tried white noise, rockit zed, sleep sack, swaddle ect. I don’t like co sleeping it makes me feel uncomfortable and also due to loss of 4 year old.

How are we bathing our babies now that they are ALOT larger and more wriggly than when they were first born? I currently use the bath in the picture, but my girl now sits independently and keeps wriggling and sitting up and nearly falling out of this now. What's everybody using now? Unsure what the best upgrade is and what is available? Shes still wobbly when sitting so would hate for her to not have anything in case she flops over and bangs her head in the bath. TIA

Have people got their 4+ week olds in a sleep/eat/awake routine yet or just winging each day?
