Baby Clothes Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to use “baby detergent” to wash my babys clothes?
A: It is a good idea to use a detergent specifically designed for babies since your baby may have sensitive skin due to allergies, eczema, atopic dermatitis, or other things. But if you find that your baby detergent is just not working as well as you would like, try washing just one garment in with your regular detergent. If it doesn’t irritate your babys skin, it is probably alright to continue to wash her clothes with regular detergent.

Q: What are some of the very basics in bathing clothing that I should have for my baby?
A: A parent can never seem to have enough absorbent baby blankets, bibs, cotton bodysuits, and baby booties. With all of the slobbering and messing that babies do, you can run out of these items pretty quickly.

Q: Are high tech toys good for babies?
A: You may love your own high tech toys, so undoubtedly you want your baby to play with her own high tech toys as well. It is totally up to you whether or not you allow your baby to play with such items. Many experts do not think that high tech toys are good toys for babies. Therefore, why take a chance? Aren’t the toys that you grew up with or the ones that your parents or friends grew up with good enough for your child? What’s wrong with a plain old toy like a stuffed animal or a rattle?
