what to wash babys clothes in?

So i want to buy Dreft laundry detergent (for babys) but its so much more expensive than regular detergent... i herd its safe to use ours on their clothes as long as their skin isnt super sensitive. What do you mommys think? Dreft? Or regular detergent maybe deluted with some water  like tide etc.?

All free and clear baby! I agree, when I went to go buy baby detergent I about pooped myself at the price! I couldn't believe how expensive it was so I walked up and down the Isle for about 15 min trying to find something else. Really anything that is Free and Clear would be good to use.

I think I'll try that purex baby. Didn't know there were other brands specifically for babies!

I use trader Joe's  free and clear detergent.  It's pretty much natural ingredients and nothing harsh or harmful. Inexpensive as well

I tried dreft, had too much perfume and my kids broke out in rashes from it. I switched to ALL free and clear and havent changed ever since. Any free and clear is fine just so you dont have to worry about any allergic reactions. Also A LOT CHEAPER. If you want to use regular detergent thats fine too, just monitor babies skin and if you notice a rash, switch to a dte and perfume free one like ive suggested. Take care.

Just buy regular detergent. Id recommend buying all that has no fragrance and is for sensitive skin.
