When should I wash her clothes?

I would wait... There were so many things that my LO never wore, so I ended up taking back a few hundred dollars worth of clothes... Im so glad I never took the tags off, and I save all receipts from everything. In the first few months your baby will be spitting up, etc. and there is just no point to put her in all of those expensive little outfits just to sit around the house. Well, if you plan on going out everyday that is a different story but I would wait and see first.

Noboby at my shower really gave me gift receipts but they all kept the tags on.  I'm assuming I can't return or exchange anything without a receipt...correct?  I have A LOT of newborn clothes and I'm worried she won't be able to wear them much.  Yet I want to have everything ready when I bring her home from the hospital.  I don't want to worry about laundry that first week.

my 2nd baby never fit into newborn clothes. she was 8 pounds 10 ounces and went straight into 0-3 and was in those for maybe a week and then was in 3-6 month clothes. BUT my first was 8 pounds 8 ounces and was in newborn for 3 months!! so who knows. i would wash the clothes except the newborn ones when you have may 3-2 weeks left

my first baby girl was born one day before her due date and we actually had to go out and but her preemie clothes. my second was born a month early and wore the same size. we washed about a weeks worth of newborn clothes and kept the tags on the rest. so that i didn't have to worry about laundry the first week. you can usually get a store credit or be able to exchange your clothes without a receipt for a larger/smaller size no problem. =)

Mine are all washed and put away. I don't want to have to do it all after he is here. Everything is ready for when he comes home. I didn't get a lot of newborn sizes so I'm taking those to the hospital with me. Maybe you just want to wash the bigger sizes and a few newborns.
