Hi All

Just wondering what brand of washing powder you all use for newborns. Anything good for sensitive skin?

Thanks
 
we never separated our kids' clothes from our own... even when they were newborns. used our regular washing powder. much easier, also cheaper.
 
We use Purity Sensitive Liquid from ParkNShop. Still separating after 10 months as she's prone to rashes. One bottle lasts months even with nappies, and as we have a small washing machine, it works out to the same number of loads whether I mixed or separated.
 
I started using non-bio Persil for her clothes and once I finish our washing powder I'm going to wash all of our clothes together but was separating at the beginning using baby liquid, but switched to Persil.
 
if your baby is rash prone, try changing diaper and wipes brands.

washing powder has nothing to do with rashes. the detergent should be rinsed out completely. if not, buy a new washing machine.
 
I always use Country Save and it's safe for babies too. You can get it from health foodstores like Health Gate or Healthy Delight in Central.
 
seventh generation 'baby' when newborn (separated for first 3 months or so) and now the regular version (all family's clothes washed together). it's fragrance + phosphate free, hypoallergenic etc. Stocked at health food stores, 360, B2B and City super.

Personally, I have found that detergent can be a factor if you are prone to rashes or have skin conditions. There can be chemical residue irrespective of how much clothes are rinsed.
 
We used one of the hypoallergenic ones from 360 (they have quite a range) because of her sensitive skin.
 
I use Castle non-biological soap powder for the whole family's washing. I did and do still separate baby's laundry from ours. I do it now mainly because of the difference in size of the loads and the degree of 'soiled-ness'. Babies' clothes don't really get as dirty (unless they get poo or foodstains) so I prefer to use a shorter wash for baby laundry and a hotter, longer wash for ours.
 
We used the same detergent as we do for the our stuff but would frequently add a fabric softener to the load to make the kids' clothes a bit softer. Right now we're using Tide which we bought in a big box at Prize Mart as most of the local detergents left our clothes with that "I've just been washed in someone's bucket of sweat" kind of smell.
