Yes, ur supposed too, and yes use baby detergent...Its called dreft down here..Do u have that? Im sure theres a brand up there..Jsut ask around...

Babys skin is sensitive!

My mom says there is dreft and "ivory snow" that she knows of. Of course that is here in pennsylvania, but try there and see. If you cannot find either of those, ask a pharmacist. Regular detergent is too harsh for their sensitive skin.

I never used anything special to wash the clothes with. My doctor said you dont have to unless the baby has sensitive skin!

I tried lookin for dreft but I cant find it up here???? I looked at safeway and walmart and giant tiger (those are liek our main stores here lol!) and I cant find nothin! Is there anything else that could be good?

Oh what about dawn or downy or whatever thats called? Isnt that sposed to be soft?

Dawn is dish soap and downy is fabric softener. The soap does not have to be "soft" it just has to be made for babies or for delicate skin. The same reason you do not use adult shampoo or soaps on babies. All babies have sensitive skin. Like I said, ask your doctor or pharmacist, but I will look online to see what else there is.

Walmart should have dreft...Its in a pink bottle/box....Ask someone that works there...Someone should have had kids! Lol

I am using the detergent all babycare plus its a white bottle w/ a pink lid that says all really big and underneath says babycare plus....I got it at walmart......

Shauna-u have safeways in canada? We have it here! Thats cool! Im such a geek

Is the detergent thats good for babies more expensive? Just wondering ..

Yeah!!! Thats why I use the same thing for the baby as I do!

Wayyy more expensive!!!

I looked online and found tons of different baby detergents. But I also found a site where a lot of women said that they just used dye free and perfume free detergent instead. They make tide free and downy free and I found another baby detergent from purex. Your best bet though is just to go into your local wal-mart or the like and ask the pharmacist what he/she recommends that is effective and cheap. Some people do not have a problem with using regular detergent, but I personally would not take the chance with a little one.

Im confused....Why do we have to wash our babys clothes before dressing them in it? Is it because of the fabric or ? Just curious and confused

we have those in arizona too liz!

I'm pretty sure we have them in new jersey too, but I have never seen one!

Cuz the fabric is harsher b4 their ever worn and it hurts their super sensitive skin there born with (thats y u wash em first noodlenshorty*) also, u should buy baby detergent, especially for newborns .If u cant find it and go to any big store where they sell detergent u can just ask someone there and im sure they'll know*

Safeways?

Lol! I checked safeway and asked the personal and they dont have any baby detergent I work at walmart but I havent had time to look again in the detergent aisle, i'll look tonight when I work and hopefully we sell it there or i'm just gonna hafta settle with the stuff I have lol!
