With DS i washed in LUX flakes for the first couple of months. I only washed clothes that were given to me from my sister second hand.. new things i didnt bother incase i didnt use them, i was then able to take them back and get a refund or exchange. Same with this baby. Had some left over LUX flakes from when DS was a newborn. DS's clothes was a couple of months i think before he was born.. this baby, did them on Friday.
