Is it really necessary to wash all the newborn clothes with baby soap or can I use regular tide…

baby's skin can be super sensitive, so baby may breakout with a detergent that has scent and color. then you could end up having to re-wash everything if your baby happens to breakout from it. not all babies have a bad sensitivity to regular laundry soap, but some do

i used tide just a little. ..i never even bothered with baby soap

I never used baby soap but got tide free and clear and then when she was older I switched to what we use.

Ive always just used tide

yes and whatevet soap

If you use a certain laundry soap you need to use it on all clothes not just baby clothes. Because if your baby has a reaction you won't know where they got it from if you are using a certain kind for baby clothes and something different on yours.
