We drove 1 1/2 hours to meet friends for dinner and she peed her pants on the way. Of course I forgot a change of clothes, but luckily we were at Disney and there are stores everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-875991 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 07:06:31 +0000 edelweiss 875991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, i have. LO is 5 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-875926 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 06:02:34 +0000 MarieJ 875926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm guilty. I washed them first when she was a newborn until 4 months, but now I usually don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-875923 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 06:00:19 +0000 cheert16 875923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did for all his newborn stuff and his sleepers- but now I don't- all his clothes are brand new and some look bad free getting washed- he hasn't had any problems, so I think it's fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-875917 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 05:55:53 +0000 hummusgirl 875917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put LO in an unwashed outfit at about 8 months. We were going to a wedding and hadn't gotten an outfit for him, and finally found one just a couple hours before the event so no time to wash. It was the worst kind of outfit too - Burlington Coat Factory, made in China, not at all organic or anything like that. But it was a three-piece suit! It was too cute for him not to wear. I put a onesie underneath to make myself feel better. So I think it's fine to do on occasion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-875899 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 05:29:57 +0000 Ree723 875899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow, I'm in the minority but the only things I ever pre washed were her newborn and 0-3 month clothes that were going to be against her skin (onesies and sleepers). I've never pre washed anything else! LO doesn't have sensitive skin though so it's never been an issue..... And like @mrsdaredevil: I definitely prefer the look of new crisp clothes. Once they've been washed, even on the delicate cycle, they never look as nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-875898 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 05:28:57 +0000 rsp213 875898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to but now that L is going to be 2 I rarely do. Partly from laziness and partly because she doesn't have sensitive skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-875894 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 05:20:13 +0000 IcebergMom 875894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave it up around 10 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-875877 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 04:04:48 +0000 Sweet T 875877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prewash everything except socks. I don't usually prewash my own stuff though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874867 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 15:08:51 +0000 katsupgirl 874867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I have to wash before she wears. I do it for myself too. I get so annoyed the DH wears his tshirts without washing first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874842 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 15:02:42 +0000 SleepyMonkey 874842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup. i pre washed everything before baby came but now i can't remember to do it. i've done it a bunch of times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874803 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 14:51:55 +0000 sarac 874803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, every time. My husband is a nut about not doing it for his clothing. If she'd ever had an issue with it, I'd stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874779 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 14:45:13 +0000 runsyellowlites 874779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Laundry is my nemesis, if I tried to wash everything before wearing it it would be weeks before any of us got to enjoy our be clothes. I also like the look of new clothes &amp; can tell once they've been washed (like rainbowsprinkles) AND idk why but new clothes pre-wash don't stain as easily.... Something that I really like since G is known for spilling things on himself. Lol. No one here has sensitive skin so it's never been an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874775 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 14:44:22 +0000 purrpletulips 874775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, DH actually dressed DS in an outfit one day and the sitter sent me a picture because DS had been really fussy. DH hadn't looked and got him dressed with the tags still on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874766 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 14:40:49 +0000 Sammyfab 874766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. I think I stopped pre-washing when he was 6-7 months when I realized he didn't have sensitive skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874761 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 14:38:19 +0000 loveisstrange 874761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt before she turned a year, but I totally do now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874752 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 14:33:27 +0000 Running Elley 874752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have before! We haven't had any issues in it. I'd do it if I was in your position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874746 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 14:30:31 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 874746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! My DD doesn't have sensitive skin at all. I like the look of brand new looking clothes. .. you can always tell when they've been washed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874744 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 14:29:50 +0000 autumnlove 874744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually wash first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874739 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 14:28:08 +0000 StbHisMrs 874739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normally, yes. However if we are in a bind then I'll put her in new clothes. Last time we were at the beach she got soaked and sandy and I forgot her change of clothes on the table! So we ran to the store and bought her a new outfit. She was about 16 months old at that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874618 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:36:17 +0000 matador84 874618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes...I get lazy! 9.5 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874617 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:35:46 +0000 looch 874617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No never. I wash everything before wearing, except dry clean only stuff, which makes no sense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874610 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:34:13 +0000 Dandelion 874610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I'm guilty of this. DS doesn't like to wait when he gets a cool new shirt with whatever his favorite characters are. He puts it on right away. But, when he was little I washed the clothes to prepare his nursery, but after that, I probably didn't when they were new, unless I got them used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874594 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:28:55 +0000 wheres_c 874594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I never ever wash mine either, but try to wash LO since he tries to eat them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874561 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:15:11 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 874561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have occasionally! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874556 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:14:17 +0000 Weagle 874556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do.

LO &amp; I both have sensitive skin so I always wash :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874541 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:10:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 874541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I never ever wash clothes before I wear them. In my head, I know that's kind of gross-- I wear underwear that you get from the sale bin without washing!-- but most of me is like, meh, I hate laundry and sometimes things don't fit the same after... </p> <p>I will wash LOs clothes first though. Standards :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874533 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:07:10 +0000 chopsuey 874533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never put the kids in unwashed clothes, but I think you should be fine putting the rashguard on him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-in-new-unwashed-clothes#post-874512 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:57:43 +0000 wheres_c 874512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guilty!<br /> I've never washed his swimwear before use including rash guards...(figured what's the point). </p>
