What do you wash before baby comes home?

I washed some ( not all) clothes since we don;t know size or gender yet

Also washed towels, washclothes, sheets, changing pad cover, and blankets.

anything else need to be washed before Chat Icon arrives?

If you have a boppy... wash the cover

swing - material on the swing

bouncy seat or rocker - seat

fabric on the infant carrier

if you have the no scratch mittens, those too...

there's more, but it's late, and i'm not thinking well ... lol

Definitely wash the Bundle Me. I forgot to post that along with the blankets and sheets.

I also washed the "burp cloths" so they would be all nice and soft.

Honestly, I didn't wash a lot of the hats/socks/mittens though.

I would.... but that's me. I wouldn't want to put something clean on something unwashed.

Re: What do you wash before baby comes home?

Is there something harmful on the seats and such that they need to be washed? They are brand new and didnt think they needed to be washed before.

I washed all blankets...bedding...towels...washcloths...clothes up to 3 months.

I wish I didn't wash it all though...there was sooo much I never used and was stuck with because it was washed.
