How to Prepare Baby Clothes Before Their First Wear

How to Prepare Baby Clothes Before Their First Wear

Before putting a new baby garment straight into the drawer, read its care label. Fibre, colour, washing and drying directions can differ even between items that look similar.

Sort by the actual label

Group compatible colours and temperatures. Check pockets, prints that need turning inside out and removable accessories. Avoid heat or bleach that the label does not permit.

Inspect every small detail

Before and after washing, check buttons, snaps, zip pulls, ties and seams. Set aside an item with a loose or broken component until it has been appropriately assessed.

Store only when fully dry

Dry as directed and never shut damp textiles in a drawer. Organising by size and expected order of use makes daily dressing simpler.
