But I'm lax about a lot of things toxic and organic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wash-and-use-flame-resistant-pjs#post-1657991 Mon, 26 May 2014 02:37:58 +0000 MamaMoose 1657991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If washing the clothes a time or two could remove the flame retardance that would sort of defeat the purpose. But this isn't something I worry about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wash-and-use-flame-resistant-pjs#post-1657954 Mon, 26 May 2014 00:56:04 +0000 gracecat 1657954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't... Too many chemicals close to baby skin. There's enough toxins in their environment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wash-and-use-flame-resistant-pjs#post-1657920 Sun, 25 May 2014 23:20:59 +0000 SnowLion 1657920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I avoid any flame resistant material. Anything flame resistant doesn't breath which for younger LOs that isn't a good thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wash-and-use-flame-resistant-pjs#post-1657772 Sun, 25 May 2014 21:17:24 +0000 Cole 1657772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just reading something about them, on Lucie's list I believe, about the fact that it takes a significant amount of washings to get rid of the chemicals- like too many to make it a reasonable plan. Personally, I would skip using them and grab a couple sets of non treated ones if you can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wash-and-use-flame-resistant-pjs#post-1657638 Sun, 25 May 2014 19:47:57 +0000 autumnlove 1657638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use all types of pjs. I think we have a pair in rotation, not really sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wash-and-use-flame-resistant-pjs#post-1657588 Sun, 25 May 2014 19:18:18 +0000 lemondrop 1657588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me it's not a big deal, most of the fleece footed pj's that we use are, but they are the only thing my boys will sleep through the night in- I value sleep more than I worry about that. I wash pretty much all new clothes a couple times before they wear them, but mostly it's just to soften them up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wash-and-use-flame-resistant-pjs#post-1657587 Sun, 25 May 2014 19:18:17 +0000 littlecasita1122 1657587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were gifted some and washed them a few times but stopped using them as my LO would sweat so much. They just don't breathe like cotton pjs do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wash-and-use-flame-resistant-pjs#post-1657577 Sun, 25 May 2014 19:07:48 +0000 Arden 1657577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't use them, personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wash-and-use-flame-resistant-pjs#post-1657573 Sun, 25 May 2014 19:04:27 +0000 Mama Bird 1657573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is growing out of his pajamas fast. I have a couple in larger sizes that people gave us as gifts, but they're both flame-resistant. I've read a little about the chemicals in those... no idea what would get them out though. Does anyone know if a couple of good washings would help? Or is it better to stuff them in the back of the closet and never use them? </p> <p>I guess it's a bit silly worrying about pajamas when the flame retardants are in couches and stuff, but I'd rather not have them in the kid's clothes anyway! </p>
