Natural fibers are lovely, but the reality is that babies/toddlers will soil/spit up on/smear food on anything they’re wearing, within 5 minutes of putting it on them. In my world, if something wasn’t machine wash (and preferably tumble dry), I usually didn’t get around to hand washing it until my kids had outgrown it. Plus, their skin is more sensitive than ours to the wool itch factor, and the baby acrylics are just so soft. Good luck!

Brown Sheep “Cotton Fleece” is great too, but it does have a tiny bit of wool in it.
As far as acrylic goes, Caron’s “Simply Soft” is not bad. I’ve made a few baby sweaters out of it. You’re right in wanting to keep to an easy care, washable yarn!
The 5 hour baby sweater pattern that is all over the web has been a good basic one for me. Kristi over at “Domestic Sphere” has a few really simple eand easy baby patterns. Finally, The “Whirly” baby hat at “Woolflowers” is a super quick knit and is just darling!
Hope some of these suggestions help you!
