Ladies,; I was wondering with my horrid MIL mentality and a grandmom IN law who's ancient, what's the best way to handle the "put on old clothes" on baby for first ten days thingy?; I myself was a newborn someday and my parents too were conservative but they got new clothes and washed them to "make them old" instead of borrowing around. I really don't wanna beg around from people since no one in the family is exactly appealing to me. What do I do?

From the beginning; n to till now,we always heard that the new born baby should be put on old clothes for 13 days.As in our tradition in Punjab ,the baby will wear old clothes; untill the; Sutak has done.After Sutak the baby will wear new clothes.They only reason behind to make baby wear old clothes is that that they are soft n baby's skin is very soft.If u have some old clothes then wash it with some antiseptic lotion n dry under sun.If u want that ur baby wear new clothes then u should get some new clothes n then wash it 2 to 3 times so that it becomes soft for baby n it should harm baby.The choice is urs.All the best👍👍<br>

I dont see any harm in wearing old clothes if they are in good comdition and thiroughly washed and disinfected. If u are having a issue, then tell thwm u r getting old clothes from ur moms side. N tell you mom to purchase new clothes and wash them like 30 times to make rhem appear old. Tadda.. done..

Many have this belief and the reason is that the old clothes are soft and cN be comfortable for kids. And earlier tyms there was nothing like pple used to wash clothes with the baby detergents so this was the solution. Now that we are lucky to have those options try explaining them our way. And come to an in between solution. U never know they might understand it. And side by side you can take new clothes and wash them and keep ready to be worn once the baby is born. Don't spoil your mood and just be positive, things will work out.
