Washing baby clothes

My best friend sister told me that I have to wash all of new baby's clothing,including blankets with baby detergent,even if it comes out of the package. She said because the baby might be allergic since his or her skin is so delicate. Has anyone done this.

usually, but not always.

I also use All Free & Clear for the whole family instead of trying to separate the clothing. It is free of chemicals, dyes, and perfumes. (I think Dreft is way too expensive)

I've washed all my baby's clothes/bedding it's supposedly better for their skin!

yep, I used the Target brand of Dreft and I love the smell of it. It's my new favorite thing....and it only cost like $6

A lot of babies start off with really sensitive skin. They can get horrible rashes from all the chemicals on clothes. Arm and Hammer has a dermatoligist tested detergent that is fine. As long as it's made for sensitive skin and perfume free it should be fine. You might also want to consider the fabric coverings on swings and seats and such.

Yes, for the first time washing I use Dreft to make it a little soft. Every washing after that I use All Free & Clear.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
