It looks like DD has very sensitive skin, possibly excema but will check with doc at 5 month check up next week.
I am looking for your recommendations on what brand to use for her washing. I would prefer a liquid detergent but guess I could use powder if thats what needed. Also a budget friendly option if possible! TIA ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

my dd has sever eczema, we use ecostore and found it great, but have recently switched to soapnuts and they are really good too! I know ecostore can seem expensive, but since you use less than other detergents, it actually does work out cheaper  -------------

Ds hasn't got sensitive skin (yet) but I have and can't use liquid detergents on my clothes. Just thought I would mention that since you said you would prefer a liquid detergent.
I use persil sensitive which isn't cheap but we buy it in bulk which helps. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My son had sensitive skin as a littlie, and had excema on his scalp, and still does if we use the wrong detergent.
I use Amolin sensitive liquid, and its awesome - great on all clothes, and cloth nappies if you use them too. |

Both my girls have eczema, although not severe. We use Ecostore and it doesn't seem to irritate. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have sensitive skin and use ecostore and my skin is fine. I was using Persil Front-loader and flared up horribly, switched to Persil sensitive and it calmed down again then switched to Ecostore and haven't had any problems ------------- Antony, gone but never forgotten 2-4-2010

| For a super cheap option - make it yourself. Wendyl Nissen has a great recipe that is really easy to make. I changed to making my own when my son developed eczema for the same reasons. He no longer has the eczema, but I still make it cause it's soooo cheap! |

DD also has sensitive skin and they advise liquid over powder for sensitive skin. We use Amolin Laundry Liquid - it's for sensitive skin and is relatively cheap compared to the others and she hasn't had a eczema flare up on it. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I second what cbirch said, I make my own from Wendyl Nissen's recipe. Easy to make and so cheap. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

We use the Amolin liquid here too. DD has excema and we haven't had any issues since switching to this and it doesn't seem to have blown the budget at all :-)
On that note though I might investigate the home made one..sounds great too. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
