When did you start washing clothes and

JeuneEsprit · February 2010

did you use regular detergent or Dreft (or other similar baby detergent)?

robinsokj · February 2010

I started a month ago b/c I dont trust DH with the washing machine and I am at risk for going on full bedrest. I use Tide free and clear

BBachmann · February 2010

I started yesterday. I used Dreft because I got some as a gift at the babyshower. I was going to use All Free and Clear, that's what we normally use on our clothes as well.

I used Dreft to wash LO's clothes. And then dryed on low without a dryer sheet.

I washed all mine a couple of weeks ago, I had a lot bc I had everything from DS plus things that a friend gave me from her DS. I used Ivory Snow to wash them all. Then after that I will just wash them with Sunlight like I do all of our clothes unless DS #2 gets a rash or anything from the soap. DS#1 was fine with that so we will do the same this time.

I started around 27 weeks and used All Free and Clear. It is VERY nice to have them done early and not have to worry about it now that I'm bigger.

Mrs.BoomBoom · February 2010

I used our regular Tide and rinsed twice.

briannaj · February 2010

I washed them at 37 weeks and used All Free and Clear.

MyLilBean · February 2010

I started last weekend, I have one more load to do sometime this week then we're done, for now

nlvaden · February 2010

I did after my baby shower. We used All free and clear.

UrbanLe1 · February 2010

Well, I've done all the bedding and blankets...and was going to start on clothes this week while I'm snowed in. But my washing machine won't drain! We think the pipe is iced--DH is going to try to fix it today. I'm very very nervous that if he comes, the poor kid won't have anything to wear!

I use Method Free, with one Method Baby dryer sheet for every two loads.

sapgirl76 · February 2010

I did last weekend, because that was when the dresser got put together and I finally had some place to put them. I used Arm and Hammer Free.

J&Jaggies06 · February 2010

I just washed her clothes this weekend. I only washed her newborn and 0-3 stuff for now with the free and clear detergent and no drier sheets.

Kim B. · February 2010

Yesterday

We didn't use Dreft, just the hypoallergenic detergent that we already use on our clothes. I have incredibly sensitive skin so anything with fragrance or dyes wouldn't be used in our house anyway.

sturgeje · February 2010

we switched to all free & clear for our clothes and the baby's.

I did this exactly. I started on Friday because I've been on modified bedrest. I've already done 4 loads (0-3 months, blankets, burp cloths, etc.)

Today, and I am using Dreft Smile

It smells like liquid baby, I love it!

sarahmae8 · February 2010

I have been washing clothes as we have received them. I just throw them in with our regular laundry and I use All Free and Clear. Much cheaper and I have sensitive skin so I have been using it for years.

Mrs_Springbride · February 2010

i washed everything last week, after my baby shower. I just used All Free & Clear. We didnt use Dreft because we have an HE washing machine, and the Dreft isnt compatible with our washer.

Dawley82 · February 2010

I haven't washed mine yet, but I bought the HE Tide that has no dyes or perfumes. In our birthing class, the instructor said that Dreft can be irritating to a lot of babies because it has fragrance in it so I figured I wouldn't bother with it.

mjcleve · February 2010

Clothes are in a pile on the floor waiting to be washed. We use Dreft.

jenny1980 · February 2010

The day before we were admitted to the hospital (which was a surprise), so 37 weeks 4 days. My aunt came over and folded all her clothes and put them away (they only made it to the dryer). I'd recommend a little earlier.

ChristinaD09 · February 2010

I've done them as I got them. Most have gone in separate baby loads, but I did do a few things in our regular loads (I switched our own detergent over as soon as I started washing baby things to Arm & Hammer Free).
