What care should be taken when cleaning your clothes?
The clothes of a newborn can be put in the washing machine with that of the rest of the family. It is not true the belief that you have to wash it by hand, alone and with a special detergent. Of course, some precautions must be taken:
Choose the longest rinse cycle to remove any soap or fabric softener residue. It is even better to do without the latter, because it can irritate the baby’s skin. For its part, the detergent must be as natural as possible, preferably fragrance-free. Dermatologists recommend lifelong bar soap, especially if the child has dry, irritated skin or has atopic dermatitis. In this case, it would be necessary to wash your clothes by hand and rinse them perfectly.
