Should I wash baby clothes before use?

[Laura1348]

Hi everyone!
First time mum here and just wondering if I should wash all the new clothes before I use them?

Thanks

Wash them

I get allergic reactions to new, unwashed clothing. Whatever is on them, you do not want touching a newborn.

Yes

Thanks everyone. Think I'll be starting to do lots of washing very soon....
Great advice and information. Thank you

I always have

My advice would be go into labour early, so your lovely sister in law goes to your house while you're in hospital and does all of the washing ironing and sorting for you, because you hadn't gotten around to it yet ..

I washed and ironed all babies clothes.. I still always iron them just to make them look 'better on'

Never bother with my own or DHs though

We should by from from reputable companies too, i have always bought my from www.sp12shop.com/collections/baby-clothes and of course there is no harm if we choose to wash them before use as we all know babies skin are sensitive.
