When did you start washing your baby’s clothes?

Question

I’m currently 28 weeks and my nesting has started! I’m organizing and cleaning like crazy, especially in the nursery. I was thinking about waiting until after my shower in 5 weeks to start washing all her clothes and blankets but I’ve been given a lot of second hand and hand-me-downs so it’s starting to pile up. Is it too soon to start washing? I’m working until I’m 38 weeks so I want everything done!

Answer

I’ve been washing as I go so everytime I get a good amount of clothes I wash them then fold them because I know I’m probably going to get a ton of clothes for the baby shower and I don’t want to have to be washing for days since I’m only really home on weekends 😊

Answer

I’m not washing until 35 weeks or so(2nd time mom). I want them to be fresh for the baby and it really is only a few loads since the clothes are so small.

Answer

I’ve already washed and folded everything jvegotten so far. I know after my baby showers I’m going to be  buried in things to do so I’m going to try and be completely caught up before hand.

Answer

I got loads of hand me downs,  I've washed them all a few weeks ago (im.26wk now). Organized by size, folded, and put away. One less thing to worry about when I'm huge and drained of energy!

Answer

Once I had a load i washed, folded and organized them. 
I’ve gotten some hand me downs, gifts, bought new and found clearance deals so I have newborn to 18 months. 
What I’m doing is sorting clothes into ages so that’s why I’m doing mine all ahead of time.

Nest away momma, nest away

Answer

I'm FTM and I was thinking the same. I'm not sure when would be a better time to do it. But, I'm planning after the baby shower.

Answer

I’ve been having the same thought for a few weeks now. I don’t want to do it too early, but I want everything organized so bad.

Answer

I’ll start washing my nb and 0-3m clothes and any blankets around 30 weeks. I will also wash any hand me downs that aren’t from my other kids regardless of size around then too.

Answer

I always wash hand me downs once when I get them, then again right before I'll use them. Maybe unnecessary- but, my first son had really sensitive skin, so I'm not taking chances this time around.

Answer

I've already gone through and turned everything inside out and put it in a hamper. I figure I'd rather do a few loads at separate times rather than several loads in one day. So, if I ever fold the laundry I have piled by my dryer, I will likely start sooner rather than later.
