She was in newborn clothes for months so it was worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-newborn-clothes#post-431962 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:53:48 +0000 Sweet T 431962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I washed everything before DS was born. We didn't have many newborn clothes though. I would think you'd be okay with washing newborn stuff since twins tend to be smaller. They'll probably be in that size for longer than a singleton would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-newborn-clothes#post-431926 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:17:41 +0000 birdofafeather 431926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we washed everything from newborn to 0-3. i'm only having one, but i figure that should work for now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-newborn-clothes#post-431380 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 13:41:48 +0000 boiledpnut 431380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have washed everything that the baby will come in contact with (clothes, socks, hats, blankets, sheets, washcloths, towels, etc). It's what I do for myself with new clothes, so I wouldn't do any different for a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-newborn-clothes#post-431368 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 13:37:36 +0000 twinmama 431368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I'd wash. My twins were in NB clothes for a month+. DD was 5-4 and DS was 6-12. They'll be here before you know it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-newborn-clothes#post-431272 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 13:02:08 +0000 shopaholic 431272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WALLAROO: Oh! Amazing! I always wished for that combo! :) Good luck! And I've heard great things about 7th Gen as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-newborn-clothes#post-431254 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:51:21 +0000 WALLAROO 431254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Yes. We are having b/g twins hopefully sometime in January.</p> <p>Thanks ladies. I picked up a bottle of Seventh Generation detergent this past weekend so I think I'm going to start washing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-newborn-clothes#post-431245 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:48:02 +0000 buffalove 431245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also washed all newborn and 0-3 clothes before baby was born and put everything else away with tags. Every month or so I go through the unwashed stuff and bring out &amp; wash clothes that he can fit in now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-newborn-clothes#post-431215 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:39:03 +0000 Bluebonnet 431215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I washed all newborn and 0-3 month clothes before LO was born. All other clothes, I put away with tags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-newborn-clothes#post-431207 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:35:37 +0000 littlebug 431207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started baby's laundry last night - washing the clothes, blankets, washcloths, etc. Using All Free and Clear detergent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-newborn-clothes#post-431199 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:31:54 +0000 shopaholic 431199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Expecting multiples? yay! I'd probably wash enough clothes for 2 weeks worth so you won't be stressed out over laundry in the very beginning. I plan to just wash everything in ALL Free &amp; Clear (same as all of our clothes). I've read it's just as gentle as the pricier Dreft detergent. Good Luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-newborn-clothes#post-431171 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:18:33 +0000 hilsy85 431171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I washed all the clothing we had before I put it away. I'm glad I did because LO was in newborn sizes for about 4 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-newborn-clothes#post-431148 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:11:43 +0000 WALLAROO 431148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you wash all of your newborn clothes? I'm trying to get organized and put the babies' clothes in their dresser but want to wash the clothes first. I heard that some people didn't wash everything in case their kids outgrew the size quickly and didn't get a chance to wear it. I'm not too worried that the babies will outgrow it since they will probably be smaller when they are born (6 lbs or less). Any advice? </p>
