Home Laundry Help Hygiene Suitable for stages: 0 - 3 Months

Product image

Babies have so many tiny clothes that they soil through so fast for many leaky reasons. You yourself might find that you go through many more clothes than usual for postpartum leaky reasons too. Seeing the laundry pile up whilst you are developing a bond with your baby and recovering during those first 3 months particularly, can challenge your sanity and mental health. Don't be afraid to ask for help with tasks such as laundry so you can prioritise your and your baby's health. What help you actually want with your laundry will look different for each new mother and will depend on:

- your laundry set up: in house, external laundry, or shared laundry space

- If you have family or a paid service nearby that you trust to take the washing away and bring it back or a drop off/pick up service (you may want to make sure they use a laundry powder/detergent suitable for sensitive skin)

- Or if you prefer to just have someone come over to help with parts of or all of the laundry process at your place. If this is the case, it could be handy to prepare a washing instruction sheet for someone unfamiliar with your set-up. This would be especially useful if you are using cloth nappies, as they need a good wash routine including pre-washes. 

Whatever the help looks like, you don't know what is possible until you ask. Consider what paid services are around that you can tap into as needed or regularly such as a nappy laundering service, general laundering service, or a paid cleaner who will do laundry tasks as part of their duties.
