I bought some Dreft yesterday to start getting some stuff ready and nearly passed out in the store when I saw the price! Do you think that it is possible between diapers, formula, and now detergent to retire eventually with savings?!?

Re: Honestly BTDT Moms
The amount of diapers you go through is going to knock your SOCKS off. We went through FOURTEEN yesterday. Sometimes, it's 4 diapers through one changing. Every time she gets buckled in all fresh and covered with Balmex, she smiles at me and shakes her legs , and sure enough....MORE POOPIE!!!
I use the Dreft cause I love the smell. But I have read one too many places that it's not necessary. I am sure after the first couple of weeks, you can go with regular detergent, but I am hooked on the Dreft. And you'll go through it, but not as fast as you might think. I bought the big bottle before she was born, and I JUST finished that bottle off last week. and we do a LOT of laundry around here....

Buy it at Sams, BJs or Costco. You will definitely use lot of pampers. Especially, in the beginning.

If you don't have cards for them. I found Babies R' Us to be cheaper then supermarkets or drugstores

Nick's clothes are still washed seperately with baby detergent.
Here's my dirty little secret... I don't wash his new clothes before he wears them.

Re: Honestly BTDT Moms
In 8 months I've only used 2 bottles of Baby All and I just opened a bottle of Dreft that I bought months ago. This will probably be the last bottle of baby detergent that I buy. I love the smell, so it's worth it to me! I have a front load washer, and don't use much at all. I use maybe 1/8 of a cup for each load. I will probably do all of our clothes in All 'clear and free' or something similar later on.

I do was the baby's clothes seperately with Baby All. I wash our clothes with Free Clear All. I've always used the regular All, so when I saw these, I just switched.

Re: Honestly BTDT Moms
I bought Dreft once (actually I think my Mom bought it) after that I saw Baby All and used that. I stopped with it around 5 months maybe and also stopped washing Luke's stuff on it's own. He became part of the Family Laundry. I was washing all our clothes in All Free or All Clear (I forget the name)

I didn't have my baby yet but I bought Baby All for the clothes. I also heard that we aren't supposed to use any kind of fabric softener on the clothes,right?

Re: Honestly BTDT Moms
i got my dreft from costco for $14 for a huge one. Baby All and Dreft are the same price in my BRU.
NO fabric softener should be used. It will ruin the flame retarded stuff on the PJs.

Re: Honestly BTDT Moms
No baby here yet, but I do plan to use Dreft or Baby All for a few months at least. If the baby has as sensitive skin as its parents I may need to do it longer.

I totally wondered about that too! If everyone *really* washes absolutely everything before baby wears it. I mean I plan to, but heck... if something slips through does it really matter? I heard people even wash the bumpers before baby uses them, I would've NEVER thought to do that.

Not all the PJ's are flame retardent...unless the tag specifically says flame retardent, you can assume they are not.
I washed Paul's clothes separately in Dreft for the first 9 mos. Now, his stuff is washed with ours in Purex Free and Clear.

I thought it was illegal for 'PJs' to be sold as 'PJ's'/sleepwear UNLESS they were flame retardant. They MUST be flame retardant. I remember this bit of info from one of my retail jobs
Its amazing what they try to get away with, huh? Im confused...
