Re: special detergent?

we use free and clear detergent with no dyes or perfumes, especially because DS has very sensitive skin. I use whatever brand is on sale as long as it meets my criteria LOL

Re: special detergent?

My ped suggested that we use a dye/perfume free detergent so I used the Dreft that I received at my shower. I washed all of DDs clothes with it until I ran out which was about 3 months. Then I started washing her clothes with the rest of ours using Tide. For baby's sensitive skin- esp when first born, I think it is advisable to use a dye/perfume free detergent. Chat Icon

We use whatever free and clear detergent that is on sale. We all use it b/c my dog is allergic to detergent.

Re: special detergent?

i have always used whatever detergent was in the house and it was usually ALL or Tide and i ALWAYS washed DSs clothes with ours.

i used bleach with the whites as well.

DS never had a problem with using reg detergent and my OB and ped said it was fine.

Re: special detergent?

I got Dreft at my shower and used that til I ran out at about 6 mths and then switched to All free and Clear. I still use that at age 3 bc she has sensitive skin (and so do I )

Re: special detergent?

I use Dreft. DD is 19 mos old and I'm only on the second Costco-sized bottle of it. When this runs out, I will switch to a Free & Clear version of something else.
