drying baby clothing

I have had a load of clothing in the dryer forever b/c I have it on low. Its been three 30-minute cycles now and I can't spend this long on just one load of laundry. Do I really have to dry it all on low? If I dry it on regular will everything shrink?

As a BTDT I can tell you that Carters and Osh Kosh stuff is pretty good about not shrinking. Gerber stuff you are guaranteed shrinkage. Same with Target and Kohl's brand stuff.

Honestly, all that stuff I dry on regular heat. The only thing I don't dry is fleecy things like PJs and stuff.

Re: drying baby clothing

Maybe take them out of the dryer while they're still damp and line dry them to avoid shrinking.
