moms come in
do you use separate detergent when washing the baby clothes?if so what do you use?
do you hamper your baby's clothes separate from your own?
Re: moms come in
this exactly.
Even before kids we always used the free and clear detergent (usually Purex or All brand). Recently we tried Purex baby- I like the smell and have been using it for mine and DH's clothes also. Depending on how much laundry we each have, I'll sometimes do it together and sometimes seperate. I don't think its a big deal for them to be together.
She has her own hamper but I'll often throw her stuff in ours if I am emptying her bag in my room.

She has always had her own hamper and always wash her clothes separately.
I still use Dreft...just waiting for this one to run out.
the whole family uses tide free and clear, because i figured the baby is up against our clothing most of the day so it only made sense that we were washed in that too. when ava was about a year, i switched back to regular tide since i am pretty sure the daycare workers she spent so much time cuddling weren't using special detergents and she didn't have skin sensitivities.
we're still using the free and clear since Sam was born - she does have sensitive skin but i bet this doesn't make a big difference since i think hers is food allergy based anyway - but mild.
we have one hamper in each room. i tend to wash the girls' stuff together since it's similar weights and more efficient on the dryer cycle. i even separate our colors into weights - heavy jeans and sweaters in one load and lighter thinner items in another. but there's no reason not to wash their stuff with ours.

I used Dreft and then Tide free and clear for the first few months, and then did a test batch of laundry with her clothes in the same detergent I use for our clothes. No reaction, so I just used regular detergent for everyone now. But, I do still wash her clothes seperatly and have a seperate hamper for her, just because it's easier for me though....not out of need.
I'll probably use tide free and clear the first few months for the new baby again, and hopefully just transition again like I did last time.
