The Preg Veg: Washing Onesies
11/23/09
I’ve just stocked up on plain undershirt onesies, since my babe will be facing the winter cold soon. The great thing about this relatively cheap clothing item is that it serves two purposes: one for layering, and the other for protection of the outer clothing (think less wash loads).
Speaking of laundry, a mommy told me it’s best to wash all clothes before putting them on your baby to clear out any allergens, and as it turns out, you can’t wash your babe’s clothing in just anything because of their sensitive skin. So I went searching for a few baby-specific laundry soaps from companies I know I can trust and came up with these three:
Earth Friendly Products Baby Laundry Soap,
Method Baby Squeaky Green Laundry, and
Seventh Generation Baby Laundry Liquid Detergent. All are hypoallergenic, non-toxic, biodegradable, and free of animal testing. Happy washing!

I didn't know that. I always thought that you wash them just like everything else. By the way are there any special diet needs for preg vegs?
Hey Camille,
Check out Holly Robert's book "Your Vegetarian Pregnancy : A Month-by-Month Guide to Health and Nutrition". It has a great breakdown of what a preg veg needs to get more of regarding nutrients.
