Formula stains

Only recently my daughters formula has started to stain her clothes and bibs and bits, she is a bit messy when she drinks but always has a bib and a muslin cloth however they end up getting stained too. I do whites one day and coloureds the next or some days i do both lots in one day. Is there any way to get the stains out? The clothes arent sat around for long before washed and i just dont get why😩

Which formula are you using? Can't say I've ever experienced this.
Try using white vinegar on the stains before washing as normal with your usual detergents to lift them x

In my whites I use a Milton tablet hahahah. No idea for colours tho I’ve never had staining on mine and my girl is a big dribbler! xx

cow and gate shes been on it for ages we swapped when she was maybe 13 weeks and its only like a recent kind of thing last month or so shes now 22 weeks. From googling its the protein but like even when she used to be sick all the time it never used to stain

thats a good idea! We’re going on holiday tomorrow so when we’re back i’ll give it a try honestly its so random!xx

That's strange, we use Cow and Gate too, have done for nearly 6 months now but can't say we've ever experienced staining.

Maybe it's just a weird manufactured batch?

I would definitely try white vinegar on the stain, or try Milton whitening tablets as Caitlyn mentioned x

I'm also on cow and gate, no stairs neither. Can it be something else or your laundry detergent ? Im using Ariel non bio or Persil non bio, not even have Calpol stains and she spits it on white cloth. Try drying outside as well if you can

Avatar

yeah its so strange because it never used to happen until like a month or so ago x

i always used persil non bio and fairy but it hasnt always happened and doesnt always happen just on the odd occasion. I do try dry outside if possible but weather is so hit and miss here🤣

Avatar

Yeah the weather is unpredictable, I put clothes outside today with this heat but it get cloudy after 🙄.....I'll double check my little girl clothes too maybe I missed some spots, but that's really odd to have stains from the formula. Hopefully you'll find a way, like the others suggested

Might be worth giving your washing machine a wash. My whites were coming out with weird marks but since chucking in some dr beckman washing machine cleaner it’s stopped :)

If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?
