One of the first things I remember doing for Wyatt, before he was even born, was washing all of his baby clothes to get ready for his arrival. I didn’t even know that babies needed their own detergent until someone gave me a bottle of Dreft at my baby shower. I remembered how sweet his clothes smelled after I washed them and packed our hospital bag to get ready for his arrival.
For over 75 years, Dreft has been the baby laundry detergent brand most recommended by pediatricians. Here is some more information from their site: As gentle as water on baby’s skin and specially formulated for the unique needs of baby items, parents have relied on Dreft to not only help prepare their baby’s essentials before baby’s arrival, but also to keep those items clean and safe for their little one once they’re brought home from the hospital.
Dreft was nice enough to send me over a sample of their liquid detergent to review. Since I have used this product with both my children, I already knew that I would be receiving a great product. As soon as I opened the bottle, I was reminded of the days when I was folding little nightgowns and snuggling my babies. Wyatt has always had sensitive skin, but he never had a reaction when I was using Dreft. And, even with all the poopie accidents and spit up, their clothes would always come out the washer clean and stain free. I now purchase Dreft for expectant mothers as shower gifts, so they to can learn the secret to keeping their babies clothes clean.
Dreft is available for purchase at all retail stores and comes in both a liquid and powder form. You can also purchase Dreft online at amazon.com.

I learned that when you pre-wash your baby items before baby comes home, do not use fabric softener on these items. Fabric softener may reduce flame resistance when used on children’s sleepwear or other garments labeled as flame resistant.
