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.
I was 2 weeks early and had only moved house a week before E was born so I didn't set it up til 2 weeks after she was home.
In saying that however, E sleeps in a bassinette in our room and probably will continue to do so til she starts rolling over. I had already washed all the sheets etc, and they are on her cot looking gorgeous, but I will rewash them before she starts sleeping in it.
I use Amolin baby wash, and find it makes all her clothes smell fresh and lovely, and gets them nice and soft. I washed all her clothes up at about 35 weeks.
