Q: Why has Dreft changed the scent of the Newborn formula? It stinks. I have a 4yr old so we last used Dreft circa 2017/2018 & it was truly a light baby powder fresh scent. M I have no other words for it. It stinks. Please go back to original scent.

Can’t stop smelling my baby

I absolutely love the smell of Dreft Stage 1 Newborn Detergent! It has that iconic baby scent that’s clean, soft, and comforting without being overpowering. Every time I fold my newborn’s clothes, blankets, or even wash cloths, the gentle fragrance makes me feel calm and cozy—it truly adds to the sweet experience of caring for a new baby. The scent lasts just long enough to enjoy it, without lingering too much or irritating sensitive skin. It gives that fresh, baby-clean smell that’s hard to describe but instantly recognizable. It’s now one of those smells I’ll forever associate with these precious early days. Highly recommend if you want a detergent that smells amazing while still being gentle and safe for newborn skin.
Smells like sweet babies

This is rated lower than a “ D “ in the EWG health rating website. It should be criminal to market a product aimed toward our most vulnerable beings that is SO harmful to their skin and bodies.

So far it’s left my babies clothes clean & the smell lasts a while. Using a little will go a long way for those newborn clothes. I’ve been able to wash all of my child’s blankets & outfits with little.

This worked out well for my family! Because of my job, I came into contact with something that irritated my skin. My dad developed something different and in the outdoors that affected his skin. Something like sensitive detergent is recommended but honestly this worked even better. Just think about whose skin this detergent is meant for. We just all use this now because it does the job and is isn't harmful to the skin.
Gentle and Fresh!

I really love this detergent. I know people says it has such an awful smell or that it's harsh for your baby but I've never had an issue and the smell never bothered my daughter or myself. I thought it was pleasant. My daughter has really sensitive skin and it's really hard to find good products for her but the dreft never failed! It cleans stains really well, I do an extra rinse for baby clothes always to be safe and I never have felt like there's an over powering smell after. Just a subtle baby smell to me. Her clothes are always soft just using the dreft by itself. I also recommend the dreft stain remover spray. I go through it like water though lol but you have a stain that stuff is getting it out! I love the dreft products and still use the stage 1 on my 8 months clothes and my own! Would recommend!

Gentle on baby skin. I’m sad they changed the scent. It used to smell like baby powder, now the scent is a little strange. When my baby turned 1 I switched her to the same detergent I use for the rest of the families clothes. Dreft is good and gentle for baby skin but in my opinion it is too expensive. I only used this until my kids turned 1 to ensure their baby skin wouldn’t be affected by harsh detergent.
