Laundry Detergent |

For the first year of life, I would recommend a gentle laundry detergent. We use Dreft in our home for the baby’s clothing, sheets and towels. We do not use dryer sheets in the first year. After a year, the baby’s clothes may be washed with the rest of the family’s laundry. Periodically, I see children who develop skin rashes secondary to detergent or dryer sheets. These usually start as red rashes on the chest.
