Every time I put them in the wash they seem to get a little bit smaller, I don't understand. I wash them at 40 degrees and dont tumble dry, whats going wrong?

After you've washed the clothes, and before you hand them to dry - stretch them back into shape, as you would a t-shirt. This will help reduce the shrinkage.

You are prob buying natural fabric clothes and these always shrink when washed . Try doing it at 30 degrees

They must all be cotton or wool because synthetics don't shrink unless you wash them in much too high a temperature. Either buy your natural fibre clothes more oversize to allow for shrinkage or go for synthetics.

Your best bet is to wash them on a lower degree about 30 or less .0r you can hand wash some that may be more delicate.

you could hand wash them and give them a little stretch before you hang them out to dry

This doesn't have anything to do with the fact that your baby may be growing, does it?
