When washing babies, do you use the same detergent of different?

I used to use Dreft or Baby All, but now I just buy whatever's on sale or I have a coupon for.

I'm still using Dreft - I'll probably switch when he's about a year old. I've got some Dreft coupons so it isn't any more expensive than what I use for me and DH!

I'am using the best baby detergent we can get here in India. Brand name won't matter cause am sure it won't be something anyone can associate with.

I still use drift on all his stuff, but if there's something I need washed and I'm doing a load of our (DH and I) laundry, I'll throw it in with ours, he hasn't seemed to have any reaction to it.

We used to use Tide on our clothes and All Free and Clear on hers but now that the Tide is all gone we just use the All.

We use All free and clear for his clothes and Tide on ours.

We've always used All Free & Clear for our stuff because I absolutely hate scented laundry products. So we use the same kind for Connor.

Dreft is just a big marketing scam anyway. It's not the least bit necessary.

I started out using Baby ALL and Baby Purex. Now Kaven's clothes gets washed with regular detergent and fabric softener.

I have wondered if it's really necessary. We haven't washed any of his clothes or bedding yet. Hubby has fairly sensitive skin & so I think using what we use for our stuff, since Hubby doesn't react to it, would be just fine.

When Dreft was first introduced, it really did serve a purpose. At the time, all the other detergents on the market contained a chemical (not sure what it's called) that reduced the flame retardency of children's sleepwear. Things have changed since then and the chemical is no longer present in ANY of today's detergents. So of course now they try to find a new way to market it, by saying it's less irritating or smells baby fresh or whatever helps them sell more.

I use the same as I use for us. I need a hypoallergernic one anyways...

We us purex free and clear.
