Cleaning Baby Clothes- Can you use dryer sheets?

I am using Dreft to clean the clothes--but what about the dryer sheets?

TIA

I didn't. I was afraid he may have a reaction to them, so I just dried everything without them.

No, dryer sheets and fabric softener remove the fire retardency on the clothes

I was told no for both reasons above. I am so used to using them that I had to stop myself before putting one in the dryer!

I am up for bad mommy of the year as I have been washing both my sons clothes right along with mine and DH's in the regular wash using plain old Tide Free from day 1.

I wouldn't. I even have reactions to them, JMO. How about Downy Free for softness?

I bought dryer balls from the store. I was told not to use dryer sheets.

Same here. They seemed too rough for me without the dryer sheet. I understand the whole flame retardency thing but I didn't want her irritated from rough clothing.

I heard that dryer sheets take the flame retardant off the children's clothes. Do the baby sheets or the Bounce free eliminate that risk?
