Myths and facts about ironing newborn clothes

December 17, 2018

New mothers are very concerned about their babies’ linen care. But apart from being clean and fresh do baby clothes really need to be ironed? Since it’s a subject for many debates between mothers and doctors, we will be discussing both opinions.

What mothers think

Mothers think that ironing a whole pile of baby clothes can be a handful especially when they work all day. However, using a steam iron such as Ultimate Anti-Calc makes it a lot easier to get rid of wrinkles the smoothest way possible. Because there’s nothing cuter than a baby wearing slick and smooth outfits!

What doctors advise

Pediatricians recommend ironing newborn clothes after every wash especially if you hang them to air dry and for many reasons:
The iron’s high heat and steam pressure will kill any remains of bacteria and germs that may cause the child allergies in the future.
Ironing newborn clothes helps you get rid of detergent residues so your baby doesn’t itch.

And what do you think? Would you iron your baby’s clothes when you welcome it into the world?
If you do choose to iron, don’t forget to preheat your steam iron according to your baby garment’s label instructions, and iron it flipped inside out to protect the prints and prevent discoloration.
