Do you use dryer sheets with baby clothes? My DH just said, "Well if the detergent has to be free from perfumes, why would we add some in the dryer?" I think it's a good point.

What do/did you do?

I use free and clear dryer sheets or liquid fabric softener. I've been using it for years due to eczema anyway.

I'm using Free and Clear dryer sheets as well as detergent.

We don't use dryer sheets at all but I use fabric softener with our clothes. When I washed the baby clothes I just used a free and clear detergent and thats it...they didn't come out smelling all fresh and clean but I figure I will transition to the good smelling stuff once we see if she is allergic or not

Free and clear dryer sheets, but not for cloth diapers!

I bought a couple of the "dryer balls" for most of the baby clothes, and the cloth diapers. However, the dryer sheets really help with the static when you're drying fleece and such . . .

I don't use dryer sheets or fabric softener at all- most are fragranced and give clothes a waxy feeling. My SIL does though and when I sent her a load of my daughter's clothes (that had been washed and worn many times but still looked great) they were returned with major pilling, and a waxy coating... clothes (esp cotton and fleece) show SO MUCH more wear when you use dryer sheet and softeners. It also makes burp cloths, bibs and cloths diapers repell moisture- which is the opposite of what you want!

We also use clear and free dryer sheets.
