Dreft

Dreft or Ivory
Dreft and there are a couple others, but you want mild with no perfumes.
Dreft…it’s great
Ivory Snow and rinse twice.
The best person to ask is your pediatrician, but they do make baby detergents such as dreft that are hypoallergenic and made for sensitive skin.
I used dreft with my first baby, and switched eventually because his clothes were too small to make a full load without waiting so long that everything smelled.
With my daughter I switched to scent-free Tide almost immediately. There are lots of scent free soaps now.
Dreft, Ivory, theres a lot. Ask a pediatrician. take the baby so they can tell if he/she has sensitive skin, or alergic to anything. better safe then sorry.

I will go back to a science fair project that my daughter did years ago. I was selling a flame retardant speaker fabric to guitar amp and branded speaker lines. I had the necessary items to prove that it did not support combustion.
Most women will tell you that Ivory Snow is the best. When you wash with Ivory Snow, you remove all of the flame retardant materials and worse yet, you add some flammable materials.
The reason for that is that Ivory Snow is a lard based soap and when you wash somethign in it, it feels soft to the touch, but some of the lard residue is in it.
Tide, on the other hand, did really well. It is not a lard based soap and left no flammable ingredients.
As for Dreft, I simply do not know. The best way to try it is to wash some old rags two or three times in it and then, after they are dry, put a lighter on it and see if it breaks into flames.
What ever is on sale. I’m part of a whole generation that grew up with no special this or that, and with a few exceptions I think we are all going to die of old age. Just wash the clothes and if by some chance the baby gets a rash then consider changing. Don’t believe every marketing ploy that you hear. You are NOT a bad parent because you don’t buy baby laundry soap.
Dreft is the best.:)
Mild detergant, non-biological and non-perfumed, like dreft or fairy.
