Washing baby's toys before first use?

I used to just use milton wipes when dd was a baby. From around 1 I never really bothered at all.

I used to wipe over stuff from the boot fair or charity shop but I've never cleaned new toys. Chance would be a fine thing, once a toy is out of the box, the kids grubby little hands are snatching at it anyway!


I remember washing (and ironing! :eek:) all of my son's brand new babygrows and vests before he was born. And saying to DH..."Oh, I can't wait to be washing all these things every week"
The novelty of that soon wore off!! :rotfl:

Haha I hear ya!
I think those were the last clothes I ever ironed for dd! I learned to just buy jersey

me too. With DS2 I think I washed some stuff (if it smelt musty). I stopped ironing after DS1 turned about 3 months and wasn't sleeping 18 hours a day. Frankly they're lucky now if its washed and dry. I knew I was on to a loser when eldest DS put his hands down his pants and then shoved his finger up DS2s nose. Then ate a biscuit. In the space of about 5 seconds. I can only hope they become more hygienic as they get older, as my DH is fastidious about it. If only he knew....
