Baby detergent?

Question

I washed some of the baby's clothes, but the last time I spoke with my mom, she said I should have used dreft. I normally just use regular tide. Is it really that big of a deal? I'm assuming it depends on the baby and how sensitive their skin is, but how common is a reaction to regular detergent?

Thanks in advance!!

Answer

Just use something that is unscented.  I use All free and clear, pretty sure Tide has an equivalent if you want to stick with that brand.  Dreft is very pricey and doesn't work any betrer than any other deterfent.  The Dreft stain pretreater spray, on the other hand, is the best I have ever tried.  That stuff gets everythibg out.

Answer

Washing mine in dreft. I'm allergic to the world so not taking any chances

Answer

I buy Purex baby, it smells so good and it's only about $4 a bottle compared to the $16 a bottle for dreft

Answer

Dreamt is filled with shit chemicals unfortunately.
Your best bet is using any brand, but a free and clear.

Answer

My mom didn't use baby detergent on us so I don't plan on using it for my spawn either unless he gets a rash. I guess you can use it as a precaution though :)

Answer

A friend of mine washed all her baby's clothes in draft and after she was born, she had a reaction! Honestly I would use a free and clear detergent. You should be just fine with whatever you normally use for your clothes. People freak out about everything these days. Find out what works for you and your baby, not what everyone else suggests.

Answer

All free and clear is really good and its cheaper than tide. I used it for my first kid, and now I'm using it for baby number 2.
