How do you moms feel about washing newly purchased clothes for your baby? Do you do it? Why or why not?

I always wash new clothes...You never know who touched it or what factory it was in etc. Baby skin is sensitive. Better safe than sorry.

I always wash new cloths because a friend of my family went shopping and bought a turtle neck and got that flesh eating bacteria. She has big patches of skin that they had to do skin grafts on. So yes I am going to wash everything my baby will use cloths, blankets, cloth toys. You just never know what kind of funk is on things these days.

I did. Just incase an item I bought had been previously worn, and also so that way the clothes smell like home. And it's something I do when I buy new clothes for myself.

Yep, I washed everything. You never know who touched it/ where it was. Baby's skin is so sensitive,  and washing clothes is not big deal after all, totally worth it.
