When did you stop pre-wear washing baby clothes?

[Loulovesummer]

Just wondering the above really.

DD is 6 months. I have been washing all of her clothes before she wears them ever since she was born.

my mum has bought her a lovely outfit to wear tomorrow for my birthday lunch. I want to put her in it so as not to upset my mum and also think it’s lovely but I can’t get it washed and dried between now and then.

is 6 months an ok age to not faff around with pre-wear washes?

DS is 1.5. Still wash everything before he wears it..

Never did. Two healthy kids. They have an immune system.....

I never washed anything. Both DC still alive.

mine are 15 and 17 and i still do it.

Had them react to stuff on clothes too often not to. its always worth doing, even for your own.

Why?

wouldn’t worry too much if you want to put a dress on her for tomorrow that isn’t washed, do it! Loads of people don’t pre wash. I should’ve added I do due to eczema.

Never did. Two healthy DSs. Maybe I’d have behaved differently if they had underlying health conditions. (I also didn’t use non-biological detergents…as they had no pre-existing skin issues (and none after either)).

My next comment shares its because of eczema. Should’ve added that.
don’t want any adverse reactions when suffering enough with eczema. I have it and I know what it’s like

All teens still wash.

Industrial processes are not hygienic

Mum is 85. Washes everything before wearing. 🤷‍♀️

I wash everything before it's worn (by anyone, adult or child) because it's gross not to. But I don't think it would be harmful to skip it once for a reason like this.

I've never done this. I didn't even know it was a thing some people do.

ALL clothes get washed before wear. They are dragged all over factories abroad, often have bugs etc in with them, dust dead skin, sweat etc. No idea why anyone wouldn't wash before wear its really disgusting.
I have family who work in the industry and have seen where the stuff comes from.
Most labels even say wash before wear because the manufacturers know too.
Wash the clothes

I only did it with the newborn clothes for DS- he's adult now and had worn things straight from the shops most of his life. No skin condition or sensitive skin though- I understand anyone who had may need to this. I used to work with a young woman years ago- she was in her early 20's and her mum insisted on handwashing all her clothes before she was allowed to wear them. Managed to wreck a new work suit she had bought 🙄- I'd go for it if I was you.

Once no.1 was born! Pre-washing was a nesting thing. Didn't even cross my mind once I was busy with a baby.

I've never washed anything new before wearing it.

Eh? I never pre washed anything.....

I stopped pre-washing on the same day I gave birth.

I only wear mine after washing so have always done my dc.

I never did. I only heard it was a thing on here, by which time my DC were well into their teens and doing their own laundry.

I never did this. Babies all survived.

I wash everything before wearing. I always have done, and always did it for my kids.
I just like to wear clean, fresh clothes.
I don't like to put something on straight from a factory, people have handled or that someone has tried on.

I never knew it was a 'thing'

DC have never had any skin reaction. Nor me.

I never pre washed my dd clothes, never knew that was a thing

I’ve never started. I didn’t know it was a thing. What do you do if you buy an item as an adult? Still pre wash stuff? What if it’s dry clean only?

All perfectly healthy here having worn stuff new from the shop all our lives..
