This is a GREAT idea and I'm going to try it! What about the safety for infants? Do you think this is gentle enough for the new baby? Most of her tiny stuff is already washed anyway.Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17772064963963096358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554663319092204146.post-23622284456424561712011-11-10T04:49:47.292-08:002011-11-10T04:49:47.292-08:00This is great!
