I hardly ever do! I only washed her coming home outfit before she wore it!

Re: Honestly now...
nope. My mom said she never did, so I probably won't. Maybe just the onsies or something, I don't know.

Re: Honestly now...
Oh please, I didn't wash a damn thing before I put her on it, in it, near it. And she seems to be doing just fine! Call me a bad mommy, but I think she'll live.

Re: Honestly now...
I washed a lot of things but not everything. They grow quickly and if the baby is big they might not even fit in newborn and you may need to exchange. I would only wash a few things the next time.

Re: Honestly now...
I will not wash anything except for the outfit that she will come home in..maybe not even that. My mom never did with the 3 of us and we were all fine. When I told her that I was going to do that, she looked at me like I was wacko! LOL

Re: Honestly now...
I just can't see the point in it. I don't wash the clothes I wear unless of course its like bras/underware/bathingsuits.
Most of the onsies come packaged anyway.

Same here. Christopher was perfectly fine wearing things that weren't washed. Plus, we got SO many 0-3 month things and he was out of them so quickly that he didn't even wear them all. I ended up returning a lot of things, so I was glad that I didn't rip the tags off and wash everything.

That is another reason why I don't think I am going to wash everything.

Re: Honestly now...
I've read that the whole washing the clothes thing really is just part of the whole "nesting instinct", and that it's not actually necessary.
