Not only because people in stores touch them but they’ve been on factory floors with who knows what and they’re sprayed with chemicals to make them look fresh on the shelf. You should always wash any new clothing/blankets before use -for anybody. Baby clothes tell you on the care tag to wash before use
Yes! Everything. Sometimes they sit in the back or in a warehouse and can get rat poop on them! I used to work for a department store and I would go get more towels out of the back warehouse delivery area—- rat poo was often on towels- yuck!!! Made me think twice about everything. And of course ppl touching them, but the rat poop is my main concern!

Ya you’re supposed to because people have usually touched them in the store and they collect germs

I do because strangers in the store touch them all day long and stuff.

I do when they are little. Lots of chemicals used in manufacturing.

I asked this question recently, but you don’t HAVE to if you don’t want Too. It’s your choice!(:
