Laundry for a Minor during the Nine Days
Question
During the Nine Days, when washing a baby's clothes, should one minimize the amount of laundry, or is it permissible to wash all of his clothes (even those he will only wear after Tisha B'Av)?
Answer
Shalom!
One is not allowed to wash what is needed after Tisha B'Av.
There is no need to minimize the amount of clothes one launders, and it is permitted to wash what might be needed, but not to add other clothes.
