When did you stop using Dreft?

I know the bottle says 0-18 months, but, honestly, I'd intended to use it forever. I wash everything in it (not just DD's stuff). But I'm wondering if I should move to something cheaper. When did you quit using a gentle/baby detergent?

    I never used it.  I use All Free & Clear.  Everything I've read and was told by my pedi says that Dreft isn't any better than using regular detergent.

    I never used it.  Just use a Free & Clear type detergent instead.

    We use all-natural or Free & Clear detergents, never did use Dreft. It would not be any better for DD's skin than any other fragrance-containing detergent at the store.

    Ditto - word for word.

    Same as PP's, we use All Free and Clear or homemade.  I don't know about Dreft specifically, but the fragrances found in most detergents are really awful for you.

    I lasted through 1 bottle which I got as a gift. I did switch to a free and clear detergent while I was pregnant so I just use that one.

    I will admit that every once in a while I kinda want to buy another bottle so I can smell his clothes all day long.

    I never used Dreft. I found it to be too scented.  I use HEB Bravo Free & Clear liquid detergent.

    I stopped after I finished the one and only bottle we bought.  We switched over to a free and clear detergent after that.

    We never used it either.  I used the Method Baby stuff for the first year-18months, now we just all use the same.

    Never used it. I tend to be really sensitive to scented things so we've just always used a Free & Clear type thing.

    We just use the free & clear stuff for the baby's wash. I tried to just have that be our whole family detergent, but DH insists on having the scented stuff for his clothes. He wants them to "smell clean." Confused

    Ditto this.  

    And just recently, I started washing more of the boys' junk in with ours so I just use All Free & Clear for everything now.  Before I was just using it for theirs.

    Using one thing for the little one and another for the rest doesn't make sense. You are going to cuddle/hold the little one so they are rubbing all over your detergent anyway.

     We've always bought free & clear whatever, but use one for cds and we use ecover for the family stuff.

    When we run out I guess.  MIL bought us some when we brought DS home and we've probably still got half a bottle left.
