Question Baby laundry question

I have a 5 week old baby, and I was wondering how you fellow moms out there did your baby's laundry. I started washing his clothes seperate from the rest of the family's clothes, but was wondering how long should I continue to do this? So I was wondering did any of you do this, and for how long?? Thanks for the help!!

Re: Baby laundry question

I used to separate the loads. Not anymore. I think at about 1½ months old, all her clothes got done with mine. I use regular detergent on the baby clothes.

The smell of baby laundry detergent was fun and so nice while I was pregnant and in the early weeks, but got old REAL quick.

Re: Baby laundry question

Well I am still washing my son's clothes seperately and he is 17 months old. I wasn't sure when I could stop or switch. So just continued. I now am expecting a second child in Jan, and figured I would just continue with his and hers together. Otherwise I had intended to stop the Dreft on his at 2yrs old. I do wash all the reds together, but use his dreft so I can do all the reds in one load.

So have ya'll had no problems with using the regular detergant on your infants things?

Re: Baby laundry question

I do it separately only because I like the smell of the baby detergent. Otherwise, I would just do it with our clothes. We use perfume/dye free detergent for ourselves anyway because my hubby and I both have sensitive skin, very hypo-allergenic. The only other reason I do it separately is because I wash the baby clothes in warm water, and ours in cold. At first I washed DS clothes according to the labels (some warm water, some cold, some whites, colours, etc...) This meant doing about 3-4 different loads, some with only a couple things!! Now I ignore the labels and everything goes together in one load in warm water! And what do you know, everything comes out fine. I'm sure eventually the baby scented detergent will become old for me too, and I'll just do everything together.

Re: Baby laundry question

I washed all of our clothes in baby detergent for about 4 months and then switched everyone back to regular. I did that with both of my babies.
