Detergent for Newborns?

Lauren&Joe

Is there a specific kind of detergent I should use for newborn clothes and sheets? Thanks!

We don't use any specific brand, just anything Free & Clear because DS has sensitive skin.

we used Dreft. Still do (love the way it smells)

I use All Free and Clear for all of our clothes.  Same concept as Dreft, but you don't get killed on the price

Ditto All F&C- way cheaper!  I also use Baby Oxiclean (or OxiFree if I can't find it) for stains, and if I need a sprayer for a specific one, I like the Dreft stain remover spray

Unless your child has sensitive skin or is allergic (the chances or being truly allergic are very very low) you can use regular detergent.  A lot of people prefer something that is free and clear or Dreft.  Dreft is pretty expensive.

We just used All F&C

I used (and still do to this day) Target generic baby Dreft on DD clothes.  I LOVE the smell and I personally like it better than Dreft (and the price is better!) :-)

We also use All Free & Clear... that's what we used before LO was born, and we've used it since he was born with no problems at all.  In fact, we used Dreft at a friend's house and when we got home he got a rash - not sure if it was related or not

We use the environmental safe brand from sam's. You can use the Dreft but its expensive and still has more chemicals than other "clear" brands.

Thanks Ladies!

The Babies R Us generic brand of dreft is good too - and it smells like 'babies'
