What washing powder are you using?

I usually just use own brand or fairy non bio sensitive skin stuff but also chuck in some unstoppables for the nice smell 😍

I used fairy non-bio washing detergent and comfort pure fabric softener with my first and will be using again for this baby 😊 I found Costco had the cheapest deals

Brilliant thankyou!that's kind of what I was thinking,but there's just so many options!

I used to use fairy non bio but switched to persil because it was quite a bit cheaper. And I use the white comfort. I get both from costco. I don't use unstoppables because me and my kids are terribly allergic to it. I just use non bio for all of us. Xx

I use fairy non bio, I use fairy conditioner and fairy scent boosters.

I got ecover non bio to do mine this week and it smells beautiful

Without bleach ideally. Ecover is good. For conditioner I just got Comfort sensitive will test it out.

Our whole family uses perisil non bio as both me and dad have sensitive skin. It makes washing easy as we just chuck everything in together unless there has been bodily fluids leakage then we run those things through a high temp wash separately. (October baby will be our second baby).

We just use Aldi own non bio tabs (simply because my eczema doesn’t react to them). Do all of the washing in the same stuff. Far too much effort washing separately.

Be cautious with fabric softeners. They aren’t necessary and actually a massive skin irritant. They can be a big trigger for eczema. We stopped using fabric softener after my daughter developed eczema and she’s not has a flare up since aside from when she was unwell and my eczema has also been much more controlled

Fairy non-bio
Both me and babies dad have sensitive skin, he had eczema as a kid so I’m starting with fairy and will probably swap after a few months

I’ve just bought some Persil non-bio as that’s what my mum used when I was a kid and had slight reactions to other things.

There’s also Surecare stuff which is good for sensitive skin as well which my mum uses currently and makes a massive difference to her.

We’ve got both and would also consider normal detergent eventually but would rather have the more sensitive/ non-bio stuff to start with just in case considering family history.

Again fabric softeners aren’t required and are more likely to cause issues in newborns.

Planning on washing everything we’ve bought so far this week so we can start packing hospital bags.

Anything non-bio

We have just trialled the Smol pods - we love them! Also Green Sheets

I heard as well that it’s good to use just your usual detergent as you/your family etc also will be holding your baby, hug it and then it also have a contact with your clothes and your detergents, there is no point to change it and good to let baby get used to it as long as it doesn’t have any allergies for it or skin irritation xx

Mamia powder but no softener due to chemicals
