What laundry detergent are you guys planning on using to wash your babies stuff in? Just curious !!

Our regular tide pods. All the special detergent is unnecessary unless your child actually has sensitive skin or some allergy.

With my first, I got gentle, unscented, hypoallergenic pods just in case. I used them a couple of times, and that's it. My kid wasn't sensitive and never had reactions to anything, so I washed all her stuff with our regular scented stuff.

I’m using dreft to start

I bought tide free and gentle for at least the first couple of months in case baby has sensitive skin.

All Free & Clear. I’m sensitive to scents so this is what we use on all of our clothes anyway

I will be using dreft

For the first two months I used dreft but then I used my regular everyday detergent… the baby is gonna be all over the clothes you wear, the blankets you use and everyone who holds them will use a different detergent so it really won’t be useful to use a special one in my opinion.

We use attitude brand baby detergent and we honestly love all their products. They’re a clean company and reasonably priced and everything we’ve tried from them works great

With my first I used dreft up until she finished the two jugs she had then just used the detergent we use

I used just regular tide and had no problems with my 1st. If anything I can always switch to a sensitive one if needed.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
