What should I was my newborns clothes in?

[LucaJack'sMum]

Hi All,
Bubby 2 is nearly here and I am packing my hospital bags today/tomorrow... with DS I washed in Lux soap, but it doesn't always dissolve and is a bit of a hassle... what did you wash your newborns clothes in?

Thanks,

I used Amolin detergent and Purity Softener for Sensitive skin

Yeh me too LUX FLAKES ... i know it's a hassle ... I would dissolve in a plastic tub in the laundry trough with boiled water from the kettle & stir with a wooden fork & wait about 15mins for the Lux Flakes to properly dissolve

Sorry i have no other option or alternative product ... hope someone else does

Planet Ark Sensitive washing powder. Good for environment and sensitive skin!

I use lux flaxes too - i love the smell, even though they are a hassle (waiting to dissolve etc). I could almost eat them (a pregnancy thing).

I found i washed the newborn clothes separately for the first 4-6 weeks then i just chucked their clothes in with ours after a while.......

I use lux flakes too - like everyone else they are a pain but smells so nice and makes those bonds suits nice and soft!
After the box is fininshed I usually just used our normal washing powder and cuddly fabric softner.
There are heaps of sensitive skin powders out there - just a matter of finding the right one.
