When my daughter was born, I was very insistent on using Dreft, especially since I have sensitive skin. I know how delicate newborns skin can be, and I didn't want to up her chances of having sensitive skin, so we stuck with Dreft. While shopping at Target, I found they carried their own brand of baby detergent, and at about 1/2 the price. And, with all the laundry I was doing just for her, I was ecstatic at the possibility of maybe saving a few dollars. So, I decided to try the smaller bottle just to see. I love the smell of Dreft, but was willing to give up the smell for the price, but I didn't have to. Targets brand smells just like it, and does just as good of a job as Dreft. It works great to pre-treat stains. We haven't had any problems, and she is now 1 1/2. I am still using this detergent, but will probably switch to what we use for ourselves when we finish this bottle.

I can't remember the specifics of the smaller bottle, but the large one is 200 Fl. oz. and does approx. 64 loads. It costs about $10 and is WONDERFUL!!! I have compared the labels on Targets brand vs. Dreft and they are very close. I would recommend this to any new mom. I think that as long as your kiddo can tolerate Dreft, then they can probably tolerate Targets brand. The only negative I can think of is that I have found on several occasions that Target is out of the larger size, guess lots of moms know about it. But, they always get it back in. A friend told me that she saw it on clearance not too long ago, so I thought they might be discontinuing it, but at my last visit they still had it.
