Clothes For Newborn Baby

I just wondered whether it is common to wash and iron new clothes for a newborn baby before the baby wears them for the first time? All the women in my country do that but to me it seems pointless if the clothes are brand new. They say a baby needs a sterile environment in the first weeks of his life, but to me it just seems like a bit too anxious behaviour.

absolutely - you don't know where they've been or who has handled them

I'm only a few hours old. These are my first clothes!

Am going to be a mother of twins soon. And i dont know how much baby clothes to buy for newborn.

Thanks

i know this, believe it or not babies grow quite rapidly up to 6 months old. so i would suggest buying a few pairs. make sure they are loose but not big as you do not want your child to look like he's drowning in a pool of yarn. hehe. good luck picking out the clothes. have fun!

I know there is special baby detergent to use, but I was wondering if it was safe to use dryer sheets. Does anyone know if you should or shouldn't use the sheets in the dryer? I am expecting my first baby in about 4 weeks!

Do not use dryer sheets with your babies clothes. It is entirely unnecessary to use them at all! There is no need for extra chemicals or perfumes on the baby's clothes. If you think that the clothes will not be soft enough add vinegar to the rinse (it is a natural fabric softener and will not leave your clothes smelly!) or buy dryer balls (I use some from Nellies). Also, don't bother using Dreft or Ivory Snow "special baby detergent" all of them contain perfumes which can be irritating to babies nose and skin. Use a scent, dye and enzyme free detergent on all of your household's laundry. Your baby will be in very close contact with all of your clothing too!
