    Me too MrsC_Aussie ... I was the same when i was preg ... i had absolutley NO idea & washed all the clothes for bubba-to-be in normal detergent ... then thankfully my friend of 18years said to me "I hope you have washed all the baby clothes in Lux Flakes" ... And i said "What the heck are darn Lux Flakes"

    Lets just say *everything* got rewashed in Lux Flakes ... augh

    ^ I'm pretty sure it's fine to wash them in whatever your normal laundry powder/detergent is, it's just that some poor bubs have very sensitive skin that doesn't like certain brands, so to be on the safe side I used a sensitive detergent until we'd established that DD has no problems with sensitive skin!! It would be awful to get bub dressed to go home from hospital, only to get home with a big rash and have to put on loads of laundry as well as contend with establishing feeding, getting around sleepless nights and all the rest of the lovely, exhausting tasks newborns hand to us!

    Oh no, with DS I never knew about Lux until the wisdom on 'Mum' (my Mum that is) who said... "So you are washing everything in Lux? until then I had no idea, except that I have sensitive skin and have to be careful about what brand powder I use!!!

    Gotta love Mums!
