You're supposed to wash anything that touches baby because of the chemicals they use. A friend of mine washed everything except the changing pad cover and her son got a terrible rash from it.
I am 28 weeks and starting to get clothes washed. They were my daughters and though they were washed prior to being placed unless boxes, they have been sitting in my basement for a year and a closet for a year before that!
I never washed any of it before hand in case some of it was too small.
I didn't know you were suppose to wash them. I didn't with my first child. Is it because of the dyes?
I did it a month before seeing as how baby can come anywhere from 37 to 42 weeks
Im 29 weeks and 2 days and every now and then i put a load on of a few blankets and sheets and clothes when i have spare time there is no actual time just whenever you want i guess
