I definitely try to. I worked a few apparel retail positions, and they don't always come in fantastic conditions. Some aren't in bags (just tossed in a cardboard box, that is usually filthy), some are.
I've gotten desperate a few times with everything being in the wash, or needing a change of clothes while we were out, etc. So I have totally done it.

I think I have the exact same answer as you haha~ I try to wash everything but def have been in a crunch before and put something on her un-washed! She had been fine!

In the beginning I was really good about washing everything first. Now it totally depends on how anxious I am to see LO in the outfit.

I always try to, that said there are times when that isn't possible. The thought of other kids trying the clothes on grosses me out

Yes I do because my kids have sensitive skin so I'm always worried they would have a reaction to something.

I think I always have. I'm in the habit from doing it for my clothes. Both LO and I are very sensitive to chemicals and prone to rashes so newly manufactured clothes seems like a poor idea.

Yep and will continue to do so, he has sensitive skin and I've heard too many gross things about new clothes and germs, chemicals etc. I have on occasion thrown a new jacket or button down over a wash tshirt when we needed something for colder weather.

I do, I could see being in a pinch and needing something and not, but so far I always have!

Generally yes! Exceptions for a few Internet purchases that just look so new unwashed (come in separate plastic bags) and when we've bought clothes because she needed a change.

Always! I get rashes if I wear new, unwashed clothing so I don't want to take any chances with my LOs. The only exception is for socks.

Nah not really. I don't for myself either unless it's bras/undies.
