washing baby clothes

edited March 2011 in Third Trimester
I'm washing everything and I forgot if I should sort by colors? Most are light but only a little are dark

  • I do whites, darks, and everything else (reds, yellows, greens, ect) 3 loads and done!
  • on this topic - Target had Dreft for $3 off this week. I'm not sure when it ends, but it's typically expensive so any savings is good!
  • Nice! I found two bottles for 8 each there. Since she doesn't have much dark clothes I think I will wash them with her towels. I have lots of loads to do but its so much fun
  • I wash all my babys clothes in my detergent I ain't gonna waste money on that expensive crap since this is my third and they have never reacted to my detergent
  • Baby all does the same thing as drift,,but alot cheaper,
  • hey about the detergent....what about if i use just that fragrance free, dye free, stuff some of these name brands are starting to make....u know for ppl with sensitive skin. I heard dreft doesn't get the clothes really clean...
  • Wow I didn't even kno u had to use another cleaner for baby clothes! Haha
  • My friend who has 4 kids swears by stain stick and dreft to get out everything! Grass stains and all! But idk I don't have personal experience and you can you fragrance and dye free instead of dreft
  • I've never used Dreft for either of my kids. I've always been an avid Tide fan. Don't plan on changing that either. As long as it cleans the clothes & your child doesn't get a reaction from it then it's fine. You don't have to spend $20 on detergent just because "experts" say it's best.
  • @Steeny thanks! Now I can go buy detergent! I have a coupon and have been waiting to see if i could use it! great!
  • Im havin #5 used dreft for all of them the 1st yr n going to again.I love dreft.with my last baby I bought the h.e formula in the biggest jug u can get not sure how many onces but its the one wit the spout u just press n releases detergent I have h.e washer n only used 1bottle the whole 1st yr.I love my washing machine.
  • I used Dreft with my daughter, but this time around I'm trying the All Free & Clear. It's a lot cheaper, and a couple of ny friends that have already had their babies said it worked fine for them. I've already washed all of my little guys clothes, blankets, and towels, just waiting on him to get here......
  • i always just used baby all but now i use purex free and clear detergent so i dont think i will use special detergent

  • I'm a firm believer in dreft. I used it with my first and with this one. It keeps the clothes from looking dingy plus I have sensitive skin and so did my first so it was a blessing.
  • I used dreft with my first but the my babys doctor said its ok to use any free of dyes or for sensitive skin detergent s . I use tide free bc my husband has sensitive skin too. :)
  • What about in the dryer? Is there a certain setting to dry babies clothes at? And no fabric softener/dryer sheets right?
  • My dr said to wash her clothes with our regular detergent, just turn on the extra rinse cycle
  • Do baby clothes bleed dyes?
  • I dry the clothes on the no heat setting, just to be on the safe side. As far as colors bleeding, I don't think so. I washed all my little guys clothes, blankets, and towels and didn't have any problems.
  • Oh, and I do use a dryer sheet, I just cut it into fours
