Washing baby clothes.

What do I wash my bubs clothes with? I live in Australia. My mum told me to use wool wash? I went to buy some and there was so many diff kinds and then it said on them not to put directly onto clothes. My retarded washing machine doesnt have a washing powder dispenser thing. Im stressing out so much about how to wash her clothes! Lol. Someone help? Im 35 Weeks and wanna wash them this week.

I just washed all my kids clothes in the same thing I use for my bf and me.  They'll have to get used to it eventually.

Look for sensitive skin, dye- and fragrance-free detergents. In the U.S. so don't know what the specific brands are there but especially at first baby's skin is really sensitive, but any sensitive-skin detergent should work. At the baby stores they usually sell both detergent and dryer sheets safe to use with the baby.

Just checked my fabric softener, it's cuddly ultra sensitive. I'm in Aus too.

I didn't use anything specific. We already used a dye-free liquid detergent so we continued to do so. In the US there is a brand called Dreft that people use for babies. I personally don't have time to wash different load of clothes. So dye-free it is :)

I used wool wash, im from Oz. perhaps dissolve it then add clothes? Fabric softner no good for washing machines makes the outside of bowl all grimey and clogs it up.

I use omo sensitive, dissolved in a bucket of hot water before adding to the washing machine. And I also use a sensitive fabric softener (cuddly I think), but I water it down to about 50/50.
