Do you use it? I've always used DREFT for my children til' almost 1yr. I just wasn't sure if the other detergent was to strong. Honestly I never even asked the doctor [sadashamed]
We got lots of it as a gift for him so we'll use it up :-D

I make my own laundry detergent personally. That's what almost everything is laundered in, although lately I've been washing the cloth diapers for him in dish soap. (Dawn or Seventh Generation)

we use non-bio all the time , cos it's safe for baby skin but also i have eczema so i cannot use anything else.

We use perfume free detergents because dh is allergic to most. Usually Tide Free. So we've always just used that for everything.

I use whatever is cheapest when I need some. Thinking of making some next time though as that is even cheaper.

I use tide for everything, but I only use about 4 tablespoons a load, which pretty much eliminates the residue you get when using the recommended amount.

i never worried about laundry when they were babies... they never got a rash or anything either, they were absolutely fine. I'd only have switched if their skin was super sensitive and it was bothering them (which it wasn't.)

I have *never* used Dreft for any of my kids... just whatever is cheapest or on sale. *this* time however... I had a mad hankering for the smell of dreft, so I bought a small bottle. :) I've washed all Wyatt's stuff in it just so I can have the smell in his room. :)

I'm a 'cheap "free"' detergent user here. I prefer Tide free, but budget doesn't always allow that, so I get some other "free" detergent if available.

It started when I started using cloth diapers. I didn't want to buy 2 detergents, so all laundry was done using the "free" detergent. Then over the years, I have noticed a couple of mine show a bit of sensitivity to the fragrances so I have stuck with it.

I have never used Dreft. Too pricey for me to even think about it, honestly. LOL

I used the target brand that's like dreft when Em was little, only because we found it SUPER cheap. I really only used it for a short while, and have used regular detergent since. Em has pretty sensitve skin, but has never had an issue with any detergent. I figured my babies were exposed to the same detergent when I was pg with them so I would try and see if they had any sensitivities to any of them. They haven't so we just wash all of our stuff together!
We do use the double rinse option on our washer. I don't want left over soap on any of our bodies! :-D
