    Oh thanks, the only that they sell around here that I could find was called Dreft. ;;) makes alot of sense though..

    @AishaMusa I asked someone the same thing. They said the free and clear will be just as good for baby's sensitive skin but as far as really gettin the clothes stain free nothing compares to Dreft so I will be using that. You can save money buying other brands that maybe perfume and dye free but if they don't do a good job actually gettin the clothes clean (and we know babies make messes :)) ) then it's a waste of money. I was sure going to try tide free and clear or all free and clear but when my co-worker was telling me how nothing got tough stains out like Dreft, I was sold. lol

    @AngelMaxwellsMama Well this is my first baby so I have no idea about anything when it comes to having babies and properly taking care of them, rather then what im used to. I've seen my sister in law's take care of there babies so I have some idea but not much at all.. ;;)

    Well two of my sister in laws. :-D

    I use regular ol laundry soap for both of my kids. However, my family has no history of skin problems or allergies. If there's a higher risk for it, I would use a sensitive soap. I don't recommend draft though, it is ridiculously overpriced and you can get the same thing for much cheaper!

    I have to use tide free and clear with both my Lo's. I started with dreft but they both have sensitive skin so ended up using free and clear with both, and now I just use it for all the laundry and add scented fabric softner to hubbys and my wash!

    We use tide free and clear for my lo clothes. We use tide so it made sense to buy the free and clear esp when dreft is so expensive

    I use All Free and Clear. Any thing free of dyes and perfumes is safe. No need to.spend the extra money on Dreft
  • LilliansMomLilliansMom
    I use the just the cold water tide which is what Ive always used with all of my clothes and havent had any issues

    Dreft has fragrance in it ! A lot of things in laundry detergent can irritate your babies skin the fragrance and dyes..... I personally usd all free and clear but I have 3 kids including baby Maximo with eczema so I do fragrance free dye free everything!!!! But with one Bella she has no skin issues and I could use whatever detergent I want. But with the children all being in contact together and pillows and blankets I just do free n clear everything to avoid any problems.
