Stained baby clothes!

Anyone got any good tips for removing stains from baby clothes? I’ve washed some bits several times and they’re still stained! 🙃

For tomatoey/orange food stains the best thing is sunlight!

If it’s fully white clothes I highly recommend ACE. I put a bit in some water and then hand wash the clothes to remove the stains (I add a bit directly onto the clothes if needed for tough stains) then I put the clothes in the washing machine for a long wash to rinse out the bleach. For coloured clothes I highly recommend chucking them in the washing machine as soon as they get stained (when possible). As long as you wash them directly after staining they usually come out. The longer you leave the clothes stained without washing the harder it is to remove. Also boiling the clothes in a pot with some laundry detergent or washing up liquid helps. Always wash again or rinse in the washing machine to get rid of as much of the products.

Am I the a**hole?

So our baby is 8 months old, not a great sleeper but I'm not used to waking up every hour/2 hours ever night 😭😂
Basically partner works Monday -Friday 9-3:30 which I understand is still draining, my partner doesn't have to wake up for anything at night as I breastfeed so it's just me that baby will settle for at the moment (I sleep in the same room as baby )
As I don't get much time to myself day or night as baby goes to bed around 6:30pm and I stay with her for the night, sometimes on the weekend I just want an hour or 2 just to relax but my partner says "well I haven't had any time to myself"
But they have from 6:30 until they go to sleep every night plus uninterrupted sleep?!
Am I the a hole for wanting a little time to myself?

Hair cut

I have all four boys and they only got there first hair cut at age 1. I’m determined for my last LO to do the same but all the comments I get from family are rude. But I’m standing my ground. With that being said when did you do the first hair cut. Picture attached for tax.

Stranger touched my newborns hand

I was out for a coffee today and an old lady touched my 4 week old baby's hand. I know she was well intentioned & I belive she had a learning disability, but I've been completely freaking out since getting home.

I used wet wipes on his hands when I was at the cafe and put his scratch mittens on so that he couldnt put his hands in his mouth. When we got home I put some hand sanitizer on my hands and the rubbed the excess onto his hands, but before wiping it off with another wet wipe.

I'm so scared that he's going to get sick and I cannot stop myself from spiralling. I know its irrational and that this type of thing happens to lots of babies, but I feel sick with worry right now & can't stop crying. Has anyone else had a similar experience and did things turn out okay?

Do you style your school aged child's hair or just comb/brush it? Not your toddler

I know I send my child to school with her hair styled, but however she looks at the end of the school day is always a mystery. So I wonder are there parents who don't style at all?

also realize this demographic may bring about different answers because we don't all have the same hair or hair needs~

Make it make sense

How am I the one with a baby who keep in mind is 6 months old but yet my friend who was like literally my soulmate who doesn’t have kids just a boyfriend now who btw swears things like soda are made from babies only can reach out like once every two weeks if I’m even lucky bc she’s so busy? We have each other on Life360 and idk if she thinks I’m an idiot but I can see when she’s home and I know she can’t be that busy she can’t reply to a text like come on we went from hanging out every single day to this crap this is why I’m so over getting close to people like I’m so tired of finally thinking I have a friend for life then out of no where stupid crap like this happens
