Do I really need baby laundry detergent?

We currently use liquid Tide for our laundry. We are planning to cloth diaper and I know the powder Tide original is supposed to work the best at getting them clean. I wouldn’t mind switching over to powder for all the laundry. Do I really need a “free and clear” or baby-branded detergent for the baby clothes? Can I just wash all her things in our regular Tide detergent? We are starting to acquire some things, and I’d like to start washing these items in advance of her being born. I just don’t want multiple detergent bottles for different loads of laundry 😂
