Is dreft the only only detergent that you can use on baby cloths. if not what else can you use for a new born?

No. You can use any kind that has no dyes or perfumes.

Jen is right. You don 't have to use dreft at all. Matter of fact, my baby was allergic to Dreft. I use All..no dyes &perfumes. Hypoalleginic.

You can use Purex Ultra Baby or Babyganics (a little more expensive) or Seventh Generation. I also used Woolite sensitive for the baby clothes.

I used Target 's generic dreft. It works great for my boys and it 's way cheaper!

I use Purex Free. It does not have dyes or perfumes. You can use any detergent that doesn 't have dyes or perfumes. You just have to use a little less detergent than you normally would. it is so much cheaper to use a regular detergent, than to go and buy Dreft. Hope this helps!

Nope, any soap/ detergent that doesn 't have fragrance or color is fine. Many of the major manufacturers make color and fragrance free products (Tide Free, Cheer Free, etc.).

No, I use Ivory Snow-used it since my kids were born-both have mild to severe eczema and it 's the only detergent I use for all our clothes. So I sweat by Ivory Snow

You can use any detergent. I would just double rinse to make sure I got all the soap out. If your baby develops a rash from the detergent just try a different one but chances are he/ she will be just fine. There is no need to spend the extra money because it says it is for babies.
