Absolutely! Wash with liquid Tide (Tide Free and Clear if you have it) in warm water, use the Downey but do use the extra rinse to get out all the detergent chemicals, and then dry in dryer. Baby quilts are going to be washed often during their lifetimes so it certainly is not going to hurt the quilt.
I have an 8 month old grandchild to make quilts for and always wash the new quilts a couple of times before gifting.
