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?

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.
-
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 & Clear (same as all of our clothes). I've read it's just as gentle as the pricier Dreft detergent. Good Luck!

I just started baby's laundry last night - washing the clothes, blankets, washcloths, etc. Using All Free and Clear detergent.
-
I washed all newborn and 0-3 month clothes before LO was born. All other clothes, I put away with tags.
-
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 & wash clothes that he can fit in now.

@shopaholic: Yes. We are having b/g twins hopefully sometime in January.
Thanks ladies. I picked up a bottle of Seventh Generation detergent this past weekend so I think I'm going to start washing!
-
@WALLAROO: Oh! Amazing! I always wished for that combo!
Good luck! And I've heard great things about 7th Gen as well!

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!
-
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.
-
we washed everything from newborn to 0-3. i'm only having one, but i figure that should work for now!
-
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.

I washed everything before she came in Purex zero detergent. She was in newborn clothes for months so it was worth it.
Good luck! And I've heard great things about 7th Gen as well!
