Nope. Right now I'm using All Free and Clear and have been since she was born. It was on sale though, I didn't buy it because of her.

We use Melaluca because Ryan has VERY sensitive skin (he hates when I say that! :giggle), and we use Dreft if we run out of Melaluca.

I did for the first year! I used All Baby, All free & clear, etc. I just basically used whatever was least expensive that was hypoallergenic.

No, I did for a little bit when Madison was a baby (one box worth). My doctor told me it doesn't make a difference for most babies so I started using the regular stuff I used with my clothes.

I have to use All free and clear. I used to use tide sensitive ( I think thats it)because my Dr. told me to but All works just as well for half the price. I use it for all of us since Lily is darn sensitive and I do all our laundry together. I also use downy sensitive.

I wash DD's clothes in ALL Baby-it's cheaper than Dreft. Occasionally I'll throw some of her clothes in with ours, though.

I've never heard of All Baby, I used dreft and my kids never had any irritation.

I used dreft in the beginning for Jaxon, then switched back to the regular stuff when he was a couple months old. I tried starting shelby out with using the regular stuff since Jaxon didn't seem to react to it, but she broke out BIG TIME. So, I used dreft for the first 3-4 months. I bought dreft this time just in case but we've been using the regular detergent so far and Hunter seems to be just fine with it so we probably won't need to use the baby stuff this time around. With as much laundry as I do, it's so much easier to just wash everything together :yes
