Also, baby nails are super sharp.
My daughter has a scar on her nose from where she scratched herself as a baby and my son scratches until he bleeds all the time. One of our friends has had little mittens on her new born since the first night he exited the womb to keep him from clawing the crap out of himself.

First thing to get rid of, if you have not already done so, is fabric softener. Use those dryer balls, or whatever they are called, instead.
Second, put all baby clothes through a second rinse because any soap residue is real tough on most baby skin as well. That includes baby bedding as well.
