washing baby clothes

WISSA2278

do you wash baby clothes separately from your clothes? and do you use special detergent? I want to start getting ready for baby and i am getting mixed advice on this stuff... what's the deal? thanks

We use tide free and clear on all our clothes and DS's.  I wash his clothes separately but only because I do his laundry more often than ours.

we bought Dreft, and will go to Free and Clear something for the next time i have to buy something for her.  Dreft is super expensive, but smells so nice lol.

Yes, we wash it separate.  We use "All Baby" which is great.  I tried Dreft but the scent made me want to vomit!  Also, All and Tide (and other brands) make "Free and Clear" detergents which means no scents, no dye which is great for sensitive baby skin.  I like the All for Baby because it's a soft scent.  Also, no dryer sheets when you dry the baby clothes, hence why it's separate from the grown up clothes.

All of our clothes get washed together in regular detergent. Pedi said not a big deal.

Yes, we wash her clothes separately from ours, and we just use a free and clear detergent. Dreft's a bit expensive for us.

We use Crunchy Clean on all of our clothes. It is eco-friendly and made by a Nestie.

I wash DD clothes separately b/c I don't use dryer sheets with her stuff.  We use All Free and Clear for the whole family.

We've always used All Free and Clear because I'm sensitive to detergents with fragrances. We just throw DS's clothes in with ours.

We use Tide Free & Clear (or whatever it is that comes in the white box).  Like a PP said, I tried Dreft on a load of baby stuff while I was still pregnant, and couldn't deal with the smell. 

 

Unlike PPs, though, we just wash everything together.  Usually, DS has tons more laundry than we do, but his stuff is so little that we use it to fill up a smaller load of our stuff.

I wash separately because I do his stuff on delicate - sometimes I through in some of my delicates with his things.  I use Nellie's Natural Laundry Soda.

I wash DS clothes seperately from ours because I wash his clothes more often and I use Dreft, it doesn't smell like anything to me.  I also use All free and clear.

I wash all his stuff in Dreft (we got tons of samples, like 4 boxes) and anything else he uses (our sheets, couch blankets). For our laundry I use whatever is on sale!

We wash seperatly until all our other detergent is gone.  We use Tide free products.
