Laundry Question

[missjestur]

I know, just what every mom wants to talk about - laundry, lol.

Something just occurred to me and I'm not sure if the answer to my question is an obvious one or not, but it certainly isn't to me. I've already gone through and washed all of my son's clothes in baby detergent and now I'm wondering if I should use the dye and perfume free detergent for my SO and I's clothes as well? It makes sense to me that our detergent could transfer and irritate Wyatt's (our son) skin when we're holding him. Same with our sheets. Now, just because it makes sense to me doesn't mean it's necessarily possible so I wonder if it would be a smart move or if I would be wasting my time. Input from other mommas, please? :-)

We use the All Free and Clear :-) Oh, absolutely - I couldn't imagine going through and rewashing EVERYTHING, lol. That'd send me into labor, I'm sure (it's my least favorite chore). I think I probably will, I mean, it couldn't hurt, could it? Thank you ladies!

dreft really isnt expensive I been using it 7 months for my son and still half a bottle. Its a good investment if its just your baby using it.

Expensive baby detergent like Dreft isn't worth the extra money. We use tide free&clear on everyone's laundry and for the cloth diapers too and it works great for us!

I wouldn't use expensive stuff like dreft or anything on your clothes, but you can still use unscented dye free stuff. I wouldn't worry about rewashing anything, though. Just switch over next time you do the laundry. I have never heard of a baby being bothered by a parent's clothing, but I suppose if they spend a lot of time nestled up to you, it could happen.
