When did you do it all???

[JordieC]

We jumped the gun with this one cause I had everything washed aroudn 28 weeks! With DD it was around 32-33 weeks I think. We sue regular soap powder on baby clothes but when I do the first wash I use fabric softener too. Just lazy I guess!! And never noticed an issue with it. I LOVE setting up the nursery!

I always set it up around 30weeks and then I just gave the bedding a quick wash a few weeks before to make sure it was fresh..

I always just used normal washing powder but didn't use as much..

HI Nae

I have been washing all the baby clothes and bedding today. Well, I did start last week but I bought the lux flakes to use, but found them a big pain! you have to disolve them in boiling water, which I did, but I found it left the clothes with a bit of residue on them. So I went and bought Purity laundry liquid(sensitive) and I found it to be much better (I prefer the smell too).
A lot of people seem to like lux flakes, I just personally don't

The cot has been set up for a few weeks now.

I did the nursery and clothes about a month before DD was born. I use Amolin washing detergent for her clothes, blankets etc and earth choice or purity softner as the water here is quite harsh.

Just do it all when you're ready - but make sure you leave time at the end to relax!!

I am 24wks, DP insisted on setting the cot up at about 5wks but I said NO and he put it up at about 14wks. We have sheets, mattress all on layby with most of the bedding, but all the baby clothes I have started washing bit by bit from about 20wks on. I am so tired all the time that I hope to have it all set up and ready by 30wk mark so then I can put my feet up.

We will be moving house so it will be around 34 weeks for me. I'm more concerned to get my bag packed because I had a dream I went into labour and my bag wasn't packed. Silly I know.
