washing baby's clothes

hey ladies so I'm 36+3 & I think it's about time to start washing clothes. I was wondering (1) do you put dryer sheets when you put them in the dryer? (2) what heat setting do you use? (3) how do you separate them ? by color? or by like pajamas, onesies, etc?

Hi! Yup go ahead and start washing clothes I'm 36 and I've had mine washed for a bit now. Just remember to use either sensitive or gentle detergent or baby detergent. You can use dryer sheets as long as you aren't washing any fleece clothes. With fleece make sure to turn inside out and never use a dryer sheet with them because it will start to pill and ball up. A normal heat setting is fine if they are cotton sturdy clothes. And I didn't separate them other than I washed brand new clothes separately from clothes bought at garage sales. Good luck

I haven't used any dryer sheets with the baby's clothes just in case but if you are I would use ones for sensitive skin or  specifically for baby. (Since you won't know yet if it will irritate baby's skin)
