Can i make my own laundry detergent for baby?

Emily
I've made my own laundry detergent in the past - 1 cup borax, 1 cup washing soda, and one grated bar of Fels Naptha. Lately I've bought liquid detergents because i was too lazy to grate the soap lol, but I wouldn't mind doing that again - it's easy and cheap. Is that OK for a new baby? I've heard mixed things about Borax. Does anyone have any other tried and true laundry detergent recipes that are good for newborns? I plan to cloth diaper at least half-time if that makes a difference. Due Nov :)
