This is a really early topic, but it's been on my mind.
Dreft. Is it really necessary in the beginning?
Any STMs who didn't use dreft? What did you use?
Also, does anybody make their own that's baby friendly? I bought stuff (washing soda, borax, naptha-fels) to make my own but haven't yet as I've been collecting detergent bottles.

Re: Laundry Detergent.
Just use a "Free & Clear" detergent, or make your own like you mentioned.
Edit to add: In case you can't see my sig, I'm a STM.
And also, another benefit of just using a free & clear, it's easier to just wash baby's stuff along with yours instead of doing separate loads.

After a little while, maybe 6 months, I did a load in regular, scented detergent again and when it was clear that my daughter didn't have any reaction to it I switched back.

Me and oldest DS are allergic to fabric softener so I just don't use it.
Is it bad that I LOL'd for real when I came back to the board and saw "1 new post" on this thread??
