Do I really need to wash baby's clothes before she arrives?

Is it really necessary to wash all the new clothes/blankets etc that we have bought for baby?

I spent days washing as DS's stuff before he arrived then any new stuff I bought for him when he was here but stopped washing new stuff when he was about 3 months old and it didn't do him any harm. I also stopped using non-bio as I read that the UK is the only country that does this and that is isn't necessary - again this is doing him no harm, never had a problem with sensitive or sore skin.

Just wanted opinions on what others do or don't do.

I'm due in a week and I was thinking the same question!
But I ended up not doing it as babies clothes will smell of me and the house so I thought of her clothes smelt of the home she's coming too rather than detergent! Grin
