宝宝的衣服可以用普通洗涤剂清洗吗？
来自亚特兰大埃默里大学的儿童皮肤科专家以及美国皮肤学会的发言人玛丽说，除非你的孩子极其容易过敏，否则不管他是什么年龄，都无需单独使用专用的洗涤剂。很多新手爸妈会发现，其实婴幼儿专用的洗涤剂洗衣服并不干净，而另外一些父母则认为没有必要花高价来给宝宝买专用的洗涤剂。如果你选择使用普通的洗涤剂，最好是选择液体的——如果你用的是硬水，这种液体的洗涤剂更容易清洗干净。粉末类则容易粘在纺织物上，容易刺激宝宝的肌肤。
注意：硬水的概念——所谓"硬水"是指水中所溶的矿物质成分多，尤其是钙和镁。硬水并不对健康造成直接危害，但是会给生活带来好多麻烦，比如用水器具上结水垢、肥皂和清洁剂的洗涤效率减低等。
如果你担心宝宝的皮肤是否对普通洗涤剂过敏，你可以做个实验。可以把宝宝的一两件衣服和大人的衣服混合在一起洗涤。如果宝宝穿上后没有异常，那以后就可以用普通洗涤剂放心的清洗了。如果宝宝的皮肤有出现受刺激的情况，比如有红点，或者宝宝表现的不舒服、发痒，那就需要选择不含香精和燃料的洗涤剂。如果仍然有异常，可以尝试清洗两遍衣服或者选择婴儿专用的洗涤剂，直到宝宝一周岁以后可考虑更换为普通的洗涤剂。
博士Spraker说，一般来说像洗涤剂引起的香精过敏这样的情况是非常罕见的，不过也不是绝对不会发生，只是几率比较小而已。
如果宝宝有湿疹（症状包括皮肤发红、呈鳞片状、皮肤干燥，尤其是脸上或者肘部和膝盖的弯曲处）可以让儿科医生开点药物，并建议宝宝的洗护用品。患有湿疹的宝宝容易对乳液和肥皂中的成分过敏。

Can I use regular detergent to wash my baby's clothes?
"Unless your baby has allergies or very sensitive skin, this shouldn't be a problem for her, no matter how young she is," says Mary Spraker, a pediatric dermatologist at Emory University in Atlanta and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology. Many new parents find that baby detergents don't always get the job done. Others just can't stand the extra expense of buying a special product just for the baby. If you decide to try regular detergent, choose a liquid — they tend to rinse out more thoroughly, especially if you have "hard" water. Powders have a tendency to leave flakes on fabric that can irritate you baby's skin.
If you're worried about whether your baby's skin is too sensitive for regular detergent, do a test by laundering one or two articles of baby's clothing along with the rest of your family's wash. If your baby's skin seems fine when she wears those items, go ahead and toss in all her clothes. If her skin seems irritated (especially if it's marked by red spots) or she seems uncomfortable or itchy, try a detergent that's free of fragrances and dyes. If you still notice a reaction, try double rinsing the clothing or go back to the baby detergent your child is at least a year old. "Allergies to fragrances in laundry cleaners are rare, but they do occur occasionally," says Dr. Spraker.
If your baby has eczema (symptoms include red, scaly, dry patches of skin, especially on the face and in the bends of the elbows and knees), ask your pediatrician to prescribe a treatment and to recommend a bathing and skincare regimen. Children with eczema can be particularly sensitive to the ingredients in lotions and soaps.
