We do at least 6 big loads -- 2 color clothes, 2 whites, 2 sheets/towels.
Laundry didn't seem to be that bad when we just had Charlie, but it seems to have more than doubled since having Olive! The vast majority of the laundry is their clothes, their school bedding, home bedding, etc.
How many loads of laundry do you do per week?

Oh gracious. 3-4 cloth diaper loads (and each gets pre-washed, washed, and an extra rinse), 2 towels/sheets loads, and about 4 clothing loads. So 10?

So many. I do at least one load per day of clothes (on weekdays- none on weekends). Then I do a load of linens on Tuesdays. And I do a cloth diaper load every other day. So like 9? I hate laundry.

Ugh. Laundry is endless. With a family of 3 we easily do about 8-9 loads.

3-5 depending how on top of things I am- sporadically throughout the week, but usually mostly during the weekends. Absolutely no way could I survive cloth diapering, I hate laundry enough as it is!

I got away with doing 3-4 loads a week as a family of three. Add on a baby and laundry has increased to 6 loads, not including cloth diapers every other day.

Not too many compared to many of you! I do two loads of LOs stuff and one for myself. DH does his own which is great!

About 2 less than what needs to be done 
I'm bad, I do probably 3 on average, but then I have to play catch up once a month or so & I'll wash a ton in one day.

3-4 Diaper loads, 2-3 clothes, 1 household/laundry
Honestly, it doesn't bother me too much. Its easy to just put it in and switch it over. Folding is annoying, but we make it a game with baby or do it while we watch t.v.
There are far more annoying chores, IMO.

Lost count. I feel like I'm doing laundry every day! But in reality probably 2-4 times a week and multiple loads per day sometimes. There's always something to be washed.

DH does most of our laundry and he doesn't do it half as frequently as you all! I knew we had to declutter before, but holy moly!

Usually two loads Monday and two loads Friday. I don't mind doing laundry actually, it's the ironing afterwards - ugh!

A lot! I'm constantly putting more stuff through the laundry all week.

A lot. Probably at least 5-7. But that's because I try to stay on top of it throughout the week, so I frequently do a load each day. If I don't then I just spend the whole weekend doing a TON of laundry.

3-5. I usually do two loads of LO's laundry. Then, one load of DH and mine's clothes. After that, it's towels, then sheets once a month.

3-5, but I am always behind! I always make sure LO has plenty of fresh clean clothes, that hubs has plenty of clean underwear and t-shirts, and that everyone has clean towels and sheets . . . of course, that means I may wear the same pair of pjs for 3 (or 4!) days . . . !

Wow! I must be doing something wrong...I only do 1-2 per week and we have plenty of clean linens and clothes.

@lilyann: I don't combine things like sheets and towels (I do those separately), or clothes for LO with clothes for DH and myself. So that makes at least an extra load or so during the week!
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@MsLipGloss: I am the same. I wash her stuff all separate. Towels are one load. Sheets are another. Then a load of whites and darks.

6-7, I do a ton of laundry for our family of 3. I was just moaning about it to DH last night!

4-5 now, but it's much less than when we had a washer/dryer in our apartment. When we had in-unit laundry, I did 1-2 loads every other day or so. I like clean laundry, and I'd rather do a few loads a day than all in one day!

@Andrea: at least 6. We have washing machines in the building and they're bigger than normal. Our previous apt we did 10 loads? Because the machine was smaller...

I don't have any LO's and I probably do about 6-7 loads.
1-2 loads that are only washed, and then hung dry.
1 load of whites
1 medium colors
1 dark colors
1 towels
1 sheets
