Skin Allergies and Baby Laundry

Recently I have been thinking about laundry detergent. 

I am allergic to a lot of laundry detergents. My allergic reaction is that I break out in eczema all over my body. 

It is the same allergy that my grandmother has (mom's mom). So likely there is a genetic component, which means baby could have the same allergy.

The one I am using currently (which I do not have a reaction to) is Arm and Hammer Free and Clear.

So, when thinking about washing the baby's sheets, blankets and clothing, what should I use?

The way I see it, I could buy one of the "baby" laundry detergents, try it out on myself and see if I break out. Or I could wash the baby's items in the Arm and Hammer Free and Clear.

Any advice?
