That's all I use Warm and Natural or Warm and White. My quilts are SID'd at a minimum, washed in the washer with regular detergent and tossed in the dryer. They hold up well. No worries. I love the way the quilt ends up after the first wash - all puckered and soft.

I wash my cotton batts before I use them. I hand quilt and it is soooo much easier to needle after they have been washed. I soak it in HOT water for about an hour until it is really wet but do not let the washer agitate. Then I put the washer on "spin" and get the water out. Then I put it in the dryer. When it is dry, I make the sandwich and start quilting. When the finished quilt needs to be washed, I wash it in the washer and hang dry it.

wash it, throw it in the dryer and it will be fine. I have never used poly batting (I can't handle the feel when I have rough hands) and I never prewash anything! It does give it that wrinkly used look!
All of these were done with W&N the first two were not washed yet when the pictures were taken but the others were. I washed them and then dried on high to get max. shrinkage/wrinkling! http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-24590-1.htm
Good luck and Congratulations on the baby!
