I am going to use All Free & Clear or Arm & Hammer Sensitive (free of perfumes or dyes) because its what I already buy as my 2 older kids are sensitive to heavily perfumed detergents. They work just as well as any "formulated for baby" detergents. And I find that the Arm & Hammer is good at getting stains out without using any sort of spot/stain remover (oxyclean, etc).

I plan to use what I use like I did with my first. Dreft is expensive when your buying it all the time. I got some for my shower and it wasn't much different then regular soap. I also didn't wash clothes before I put them on her. I'll be doing the same this time.

I never used any special detergent and my little girl never rashed up. I would suggest running an extra rinse cycle after you wash your little one's clothes to get out any excess soaps.

I'm not using dreft it's sooooo expensive. I'm using all free and clear. It's free of dyes and perfumes just like dreft and is meant for sensitive skin. So much cheaper.
