Baby Laundry Soap

Yea or Nay, borax in homemade laundry soap for washing baby things?

My regular recipe is grated Dr. B's baby mild, baking soda, and borax, with a little geranium oil for fragrance. I'm leaving the geranium oil out for the babies, but I'm not sure about the borax.

    I haven't used it on baby clothes myself, but the borax website has directions for soaking and washing baby clothes using it.

    My recipe is equal parts borax, washing soda and grated castille soap and that's what I use for all of our laundry (except for CDs) and I haven't had any problems. LO has eczema and since switching to this recipe we haven't had any issues.

    Ok, good :) 

    I figured it would be ok, because I have eczema and allergies and it's fine for me, but I just wanted to double check with some of you more experienced mamas.
