It has been some years since my last baby and I'm wanting to find out what others wash their baby's clothes in. I really don't want to use my usual laundry liquid (Dynamo) for the new baby as my other two babies were very sensitive for the first few years of life and had eczema and other skin ailments.

Back then it was Lux soap flakes but I was wondering if there are any new and extremely gentle laundry liquid options on the market, that can be recommended to me. I did see the Eco Store brand liquid at the supermarket the other day but would rather have recommendations from other parents.

Your help is much appreciated original.gif

Because I can.
It's been a while for me as well, but I use the earth-friendly brands, and I'm pretty sure there's an earth-friendly one that's ultra gentle for kids.

If a cat doesn't like you, then what's wrong with you?
I just used Biozet. It's what I use normally, had no idea you were meant to wash them in something else.

Omo sensitive or cold power sensitive. There is also a liquid from a brand called Purity which I think is completely unscented (I have that in a blue bottle). Best of luck for your new arrival original.gif

My sister and I both used Amway's SA8 baby sensitive laundry powder on our newborns. My nephew has sensitive skin and suffers from eczema and has never had issues with this powder. My dd has never had an issue with it either.

Thanks so much - there are a few supermarket-available ones mentioned here so i think I'll go and smell the Omo Sensitive and Purity. I really didn't want to be dissolving soap flakes again - far too bothersome when I have two kids and a baby to look after original.gif

Thanks!

Well you don't have to use different products but for me I try to use the less chemical types of products anyway.
Maybe your normal product will be fine with this baby OP. It may not even be a trigger.
All the best.
