hi all,
I am a bit confused. At the hospital (and the obgyn office) we were told that we should not use any laundry detergent which is for sensitive skin or hypoallergenic for the baby clothes so that the baby will not develop a sensitive skin.
However, when I searched for unscented laundry detergent (I do not want to use a scented one) all those that came up were for sensitive skin. Furthermore, for my husband and myself I also use a more natural one in order to avoid chemicals.
I all the time read how these chemicals can be harmful, and I try to avoid them, but now the hospital and the obgyn recommend that I use them for a newborn. I understand they may have a different view on these chemicals than me, and that I may not be fully knowledgeable about this matter.
I would therefore love to hear more views and suggestions on this subject.
Thank you.
