Getting baby poo stains out

Does anyone know the best way to get stains out when you didn’t manage to get to them straight away? Have tried vanish stain remover followed by a normal wash but can still see the stain. Thanks! Xxx

I find hand washing the stain with some detergent and putting it out on the washing line on a bright sunny day (while its still wet) works wonders!

If it’s white clothing then you can use the Milton tablets, just leave the clothes to soak in the water for a few hours then wash like normal in the washing machine x

Washing up liquid, scrub it in then pop in the wash

Napisan!

Napisan all the way… even in a normal wash, without soaking, it gets rid of the worst poonami stains.

I always rinse the stain first with cold water as the hot water can cause it to stick more and I use washing up liquid first then I soak in stain remover then put it in the wash with stain remover x

The Pink Stuff do a great stain remover :)

Pink stuff stain remover - on a soak in the sink if a big one, if not I just put it in the pre-wash drawer

Washing up liquid when it's fresh then straight in the wash xx

Soak in napisan than wash with napisan + your normal laundry liquid. Has worked every time for us

This will sound stupid but shaving foam 🤣 x

Napisan has been the best thing I have ever purchased - we go through an outfit a day (at least) 🫠 x

We wash the poo clothes first a quick wash with our normal washing detergent to get the big stuff off then do an individual really hot was then wash normally at 60 with our other baby clothes. (Basically have to boil the poo stains out until it’s gone)

Avatar

Hot boiled water with salt and washing powder it makes them clean with no sight of stains and then put them in washer like per usual x

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
