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.

    What an unpleasant surprise….baby scent has changed. We don’t like it at all. Will exchange to the scented version or use the same detergent we use for every one else on baby’s clothes.

    I just did all laundry for my baby on the way and I am overwhelmed by the scent while sitting in the nursery- how can this be safe? I now need to do all of the laundry again as I am afraid this scent means lots of chemicals

    Scent is too strong

    3 out of 5 stars
    Von - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Dreft has been the go to baby detergent in my family for years. So naturally I bought this to wash all my baby's clothes before arrival. As soon as I opened the washer door I instantly smelled the fragrance. Very disappointed in discovering that this detergent has such a strong scent for newborns. Now I have to find another product to re-wash everything with my due date quickly approaching. Smh.

    This is a gimmick and not effective at all. It has a very strong smell which means there are a lot of chemicals in it and it’s not really eco-friendly. The packaging lures you in but it’s not good for the baby’s skin. Not good value for your money.

    Dreft Newborn detergent has been a lifesaver for keeping my baby's clothes soft, clean, and safe. The gentle formula is specifically designed for newborns, which gives me peace of mind knowing it’s free from harsh chemicals and safe for sensitive skin. It effectively removes stains while keeping clothes soft and fresh – perfect for all those adorable but delicate little outfits. The light, baby-fresh scent is comforting without being overpowering, making laundry smell clean and cozy. Dreft Newborn has truly made laundry for my little one worry-free, and I’d recommend it to any new parent wanting a reliable detergent tailored for a newborn’s needs.
