preparing for baby

[sadies93]

I am 33w2d with my first and I was wondering when should I start washing all the baby clothes?
I was going to start washing them all this Friday but it seems to early.. what do you think?

Also I'm having a July baby, when is it safe to use sunscreen on my baby?

Thanks! I am going to start washing his clothes on friday then! We already have most of our little mans room done but we need another dresser or a shelf thing before it is all the way finished:)

Im mostly just wondering about sunscreen because we live about an hour from the hospital and julys here are very hot so i didnt want him to get a sunburn on his first ride home. Other than trips to the grocery store my boy will be about 3 months old when we go out to our festival like thing thats held every year in october.

I think six months is the soonest you put sunblock on them just keep baby out of the sun and have

Turnersmommy, It's not too early to get the nursery ready at all!!! I honestly enjoy getting stuff done ahead of time! It's a relief to just know that's one less thing that needs done!! ;-)

I'm 25 weeks and I'm wanting to get my little mans room done! My husband says its too early, but I start summer classes next week and he is a cop that works nights so we are super busy. Is it a bad idea to get his nursery up this early?

I'm 33 wks too n everything I've been gifted or  bought is washed n put in his drawers!!! I have his clothes ready for the hospital too!! ;-) Friday is not too early hun!!        As for sunscreen, I wouldn't put it on right away because their skin is so sensetive...I remember with my third baby, she was born in April and I had to find a sensetive skin sunscreen for her..what I used for my two oldest girls irritated her skin really bad..I'm not planning on any outings right away with my little man just because I don't want to have to put it on him...he'll be close to 2 months b4 I know ill need it for our county fair..:-)
