Now we wash everybody's clothes together since we all use the same detergent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-818228 Thu, 30 May 2013 13:03:05 +0000 heffalump 818228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For now it just seems easier to keep them separate. That way I can dump our laundry in our bedroom to fold and her laundry in her bedroom to fold. Less separating later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-818158 Thu, 30 May 2013 12:50:34 +0000 birdofafeather 818158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>like PPs, we never separated. her clothes are so tiny that they don't take up much room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817328 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:36:34 +0000 lomom 817328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the same detergent on everything but its just easier to separate. He has a hamper in his room and once it's full or we run out of something, I do a load.</p> <p>I'm horrible about putting away laundry so this makes it easier :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817323 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:35:43 +0000 2PeasinaPod 817323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We separate since we still use different detergent for his. And the only reason we still use different detergent is because we were gifted a bunch of dreft at our shower and haven't been able to go through it fast enough! We'll also do his laundry about every 4 days and have enough with blankets, crib sheets, etc to have a full load every time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817317 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:34:21 +0000 bunnylove08 817317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did, we wash our whites with hers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817308 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:32:23 +0000 tororojo 817308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did this! We use the same detergent, so didn't seem necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817266 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:23:17 +0000 twinmama 817266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @WALLAROO: with twins, there is always enough for a load of just baby stuff every other day, so its easier to keep separate.</p> <p>DH and I do ours separately now too becaise it's just more efficient for us to have the loads/baskets pre sorted per person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817250 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:20:55 +0000 Bao 817250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never really separated them until recently actually. We used to have to use community laundry so shoving as much in as possible was the plan. Now, she has her own laundry basket in her room so I usually do it separate. I made the mistake of putting our sheets in with her changing pad cover last week and it turned her pad a different color...oops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817236 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:16:59 +0000 mrsmate 817236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never separated our clothes. DD's clothes are so small it would take a while to get a full load. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817224 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:12:06 +0000 mynoahbear 817224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Separate... she has her own hamper so it's just easier to do it separate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817222 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:11:01 +0000 tinyperson 817222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We separate at 6 months bc we do her laundry more often than ours... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817211 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:09:37 +0000 fancyfunction 817211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never separated her clothes.

I end up washing DD's clothes much more often b/c her clothes get dirty faster than mine. I should start consolidating some of our washes though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817201 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:07:27 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 817201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never separated. We just all washed in the same detergent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817168 Thu, 30 May 2013 08:58:49 +0000 WALLAROO 817168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wash theirs separately even though we use the same detergent. There are two of them so enough to make a full load. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817160 Thu, 30 May 2013 08:56:27 +0000 cascademom 817160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still separate at 9 months. We have a laundry hamper in his room, so as we're changing him, it gets thrown in there. On laundry day, I just take it out, do his first, then the rest of the laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817152 Thu, 30 May 2013 08:53:06 +0000 MrsF 817152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never separated them. We've probably lost a sock here or there but it's so much easier to do it all together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817130 Thu, 30 May 2013 08:47:17 +0000 looch 817130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped separating when there weren't so many food particles stuck on my son's clothing, about the same time we moved, 22 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817126 Thu, 30 May 2013 08:45:49 +0000 dagret 817126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never separated, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817123 Thu, 30 May 2013 08:44:55 +0000 Weagle 817123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still wash hers separate just becaus it's easier. We use the same detergent for all of our clothes, but I like not having to separate her stuff from ours. It's just one load a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817100 Thu, 30 May 2013 08:36:03 +0000 duckduckkristen 817100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always washed our clothes together. LO has sensitive skin so I like to wash my clothes in the free and clear detergent too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817091 Thu, 30 May 2013 08:33:16 +0000 aprk 817091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never separated unless he just happens to have a full load with blankets and such.

I don't even wash mine and DH's clothes together. I like doing laundry so no worries about extra loads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817059 Thu, 30 May 2013 08:21:30 +0000 mediagirl 817059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have never separated her clothes! We wash in the same detergent so it's not a problem. The only thing I've ever lost have been socks but that's normal for baby or adult socks. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-separating-babys-laundry-from-yours#post-817055 Thu, 30 May 2013 08:20:34 +0000 littlebittyhouse 817055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only did that for like the first month - then i got lazy and started tossing it all in together. I like the thought of a 'baby wash' but it was just too time consuming! </p>
