Ship's laundry...potential skin irritation?

Do any of you guys have any experience throwing your baby's stuff in with ship's laundry?

 

We have laundry included with our room so it seems like a waste of time to wash the baby's stuff by hand because we are worried about her delicate baby skin. We also don't want to bring more clothes than we need for her and this little diva usually needs at least 2 or 3 outfit changes a day for various reasons.

 

We haven't really tried washing her clothes in anything other than baby detergent but she doesn't seem to get rashes or irritation from our clothes...and as a baby she spends a lot of time permanently attached to me! ;)

We´ve been on HAL Eurodam with our than 9 month old daughter.

Due to various reasons we extentively used the laundry service, clothes came back clean and baby never had any trouble with the washed clothes.

 

Is your child highly sensitive to detergent? If so, be safe and wash by hand, if you manage quite well at home, I´d give it a try. It´s vacation when you just stuff your dirty clothes in a paper bag and get them back washed and folded in a basket...

Our first child had eczema, and he was very sensitive to laundry detergent - even when our clothes were washed in regular detergent it wasn't good for him. Second kid, it didn't matter what type of laundry detergent was used.

 

You might want to try a trial run of washing some of her clothes in regular detergent at home to see if it has any effect.
