You don't have to use baby soap, you can use all free and clear. Any detergent that is free and clear you can use.

you can use regular detergent, baby detergent just lessens the risk of irritating babys skin. we never used anything special with my kids and they were just fine, i make my own and will do the same for this kid too (:
