| My midwife suggested a laundry powder called 'Amolin' as babies skin is so sensitive normal Cold Power etc is no good. However it seems that Amolin is no longer sold in NZ. Can anyone recommend a laundry powder suitable for baby clothing and bedding??? |

i used Persil - dont like the smell of it now though but Persil sensitive doesnt have the smell. I imagine any sensitive powder would be okay. Or you could look into a detergent free alternative like soap nuts. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

| Maybe give Ecostore a go? I've been using it for years and love the fact that it doesn't make my skin feel yuck :) My son also suffered a bit of eczema as a baby, which was irritated if he ended up in clothes that hadn't been washed in it. Good luck finding what works for you :) |

| I would go for something natural such as ecostore or earthwise. |

My sister only uses ecostore for her washing and recommended I do as well. It's natural and plant based but I would assume it's quite a bit more expensive. I currently use persil for our clothes and was thinking I would continue with it and only switch to eco if my little one reacted to it as all these extra things do add up. If Ecostore stuff isn't too much more expensive then I might get start using it for just the baby's things though. ------------- Me 34 Him 35 DD almost 2 years old and...

Bobsta a lot of clothing brands for baby's recommend Lux Flakes so I am giving that a go. It is a bit time consuming as you have to dissolve the flakes first but seems good ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Good suggestion Belle, I hadn't even thought of that! I actually just bought some a week ago to hand wash some second-hand knitted things. Only thing I read is I can't use it directly in my washing machine as we have just bought a front loader. ------------- Me 34 Him 35 DD almost 2 years old and...

Many multi branded laundry powders are available in the stores and I have been using one of the best laundry powders. It uses for my baby cloths and it gives good results from many days. Some companies providing laundry powders for all kind of cloths at affordable prices and it is also important to check the quality of laundry powder before we use it. http://www.cleaningproducts.net.au/" rel="nofollow - cleaning products http://www.cleaningproducts.net.au/" rel="nofollow - cleaning supplies |
