So I have a question for everyone about what laundry detergent you use for your baby. This will be my first, so I may be a little clueless about some things.

I was out baby shopping with my mom the other day when we walked by an aisle full of laundry detergent made just for babies. She told me not to forget to buy the special baby laundry soap.

I told her I planned on using the same detergent I use for my husband and I, which is All free and clear. I figured its hypoallergenic so it should be fine to use for the baby too. Well, my mom looked at me like I was crazy and told me that if I used anything other than the special baby detergent it would cause my baby to break out in a bloody rash. Really?

Is she right? Are the baby detergents that different or am I totally clueless?
