I always use the fairy one but keep it for the baby things only (it is a bit more expensive) but I love the smell!

you don't need to use fabric softener at all, and certainly never on towels or nappies as it makes them less absorbent.

and doing separate 'baby washes' will soon become a thing of the past anyway - much easier and more economical to chuck a couple of babygrows in with the normal wash.

I found my LO to be very sensitive to washing powders and fabric conditioners.

I use Surcare and Napisan in our washes (works wonders for cleaning DH's dirty shirts!!).
