First time mama to be here, looking to start washing her clothes in prep for her arriving. Will be using non bio powder and fabric softener but wondering for the first wee wash would a quick wash do or put it in for a full cycle

For dc1 I would have washed on a full cycle and then ironed everything. For dc3, I don’t think I prewashed anything. A quick wash will be fine. Your baby might only wear the clothes for half an hour before they need washing again (babies can be pretty messy), so don’t worry about it too much.

Quick wash. And honestly, unless there's a family history of skin issues or asthma etc, non bio is not necessary, and also useless at actually cleaning anything.
