How to make baby clothes smell good?

I would try washing with just a little bit of white vinegar to try to get rid of any residual smells.

I had the same issue- I’ve washed them 5+ times with some vinegar and hung outside to dry, it’s finally neutralizing!

I use that baby laundry soap with the baby laundry beads. I bought baby clothes from the baby consignment store and couldn’t get the smell out till I washed with that.

drop or two of dish liquid with washing it again

yes! I use an unscented soap from Whole Foods and then I throw a little bit of those in !! Complete game changer

I absolutely hate unscented detergent. Things just don't seem clean to me after using unscented. I used dreft detergent with the draft scent beads for hand-me-downs that I received and they smell great
