Baby Clothes Care: The Secret to Removing Spit-Up Stains Forever
Shopping for baby clothes is one of the many highlights of expecting a new baby. With so many adorable fashions for baby available in the market today, it’s easy to have an overflowing closet before she’s even born. Inevitably, your precious little one will be sure to spit up all over your favorite as you’re racing out the door for a play date. Have no fear, follow these tips to ensure your baby’s outfit will live another day.
Fabric:
As you shop for baby’s necessities such as infant bodysuits, lap tees, and sleep suits, be sure to read the fabric labels. The best fabrics for baby are breathable, all natural fibers such as cotton. Cotton fabrics are also easy care and when washed properly, have a long wear life. Effective stain removal will depend on how resilient the fabric is and the range of temperatures it can be exposed to without damage. Cotton is one of the best fabrics for stain removal and highly recommended. The best way to preserve your baby’s stain friendly cotton clothing is to limit over drying in the dryer. Try to remove the clothes when they are still slightly damp and let them air dry.
Detergent:
There are several laundry detergents available today that are designed specifically for baby’s sensitive skin. They are free of dyes and perfumes that can possibly cause rashes on baby’s skin. Also, it’s best to wash baby clothing separate from the rest of the family. While it is possible to wash your entire family’s laundry in the same special detergent, it can become rather costly. Also, instead of using fabric softener to soften the clothes, try using ½ cup white vinegar. Vinegar is a natural fabric softener and will also help remove any residual detergent that might be on the clothes.
Stain Removal:
Now that you have the basics covered, we can move on to actual stain removal. For the best results, you need to make sure you pre-treat the stain before washing. If you skip this step, the stain will more than likely become permanent. Baby stains such as milk spit-up are considered protein based stains. To treat the protein portion of the stain, you must first breakthrough the fatty acids with surfactants that are commonly found in stain remover pre-treat sprays. Let that soak a couple minutes to allow the fatty acids to release the protein portion of the stain. You can then apply a stain remover that is oxygen based to remove the protein stain. Allow that to set a couple minutes as well. Once that is completed, you can then wash the clothes as you would normally. Be sure to check the stain once the wash cycle is completed. If the stain is still noticeable, repeat the above steps. If not, continue to the final step of drying the clothes.
You now have the secret to keeping those nasty spit-up stains under control. Following these steps will ensure your baby clothes look as fresh and new as the day you bought them. Now, if we could only figure out how to keep baby from growing out their clothes so fast.

Help answer the question about baby clothes
Is it safe to wash baby clothes for the 1st time in a laundromat?We don't have a washer and dryer and I was going to wash the baby's clothes (1st time wash) at a friends house. But, if I were to wash them at a laundromat, do you think that's okay? I just don't like the fact of all those germs on the machines that everyone uses (even though washing should kill the germs). What do you think?

just a couple going out outfits; depending on weather where u are, plenty of onesies and light/heavy weight footed pjs, or long sleeve onesies with a swaddler wrap or sleepsack; most nbs prefer swaddling and i recommend the 'swaddle me ' wraps by kiddopotamus….i swear they are why my dd has always slept through the night; after she got older we switched to the sleepsacks and she still wears those at a year old, so we don't have any blankets or anything in her crib….
u need a few pairs of socks
if it's a little cool, u might want a couple pairs of pants to go over the onesies….
sometimes in the ac my dd still gets cool, so i keep a light sweater or jacket around for those times….
until baby is older, you won't need much more than a couple outfits, bc they will probably spend most of their time in the onesies or sleepnplays (same as pjs with feet)….the number you buy depends on how often you want to do laundry….and if u use bibs…sometimes you would have to change clothes a couple times a day bc of spitup or diaper leak or poop explosion, etc…..if u don't have you own laundry facilities, then i would suggest buying at least enough for a week, figuring in the clothes changes…i definately recommend bibs too! sometimes they save the outfit and are much easier to change…
a lingerie bag is great for washing socks and those little hand mitts to keep them from scratching their face, they don't get lost that way….hth
I get most of my daughter's clothes at JC Penney. The prices and quality are great.

Definitely Dreft but in the uk it is getting increasingly difficult to buy the automatic Dreft and only ever nowadays in the small box. As a result after 30 years of using Dreft I now use Woolite as it is a bit easier to get hold of!
I heard this at NUVO.haha

very
anybody got a bunch of his music ??
looking for an MP3 file of No End In Sight… help ??
I would suggest that you put an add in the paper so that someone is aware that you are giving them to someone in need.
Yeah she suggested calvin harris and queen (of course) and now i’m really into all of them
this the song katy mentioned ?? :L
i would just bunch up all the sizes together and sell them that way. like a big bag of 0-3 months size and sell it for a lump some of 10 dollars maybe. i wouldn't charge too much.
sounds so prince
Maybe and maybe not, but I wouldn't reccomend it. Their skin is so fragile at a young age and if their like my son who developed eczema and psoriasis at 1 1/2 months the smallest thing could break out their skin. I don't even lay my child down in my bed or the furniture without one of his freshly washed blankets underneath him so I definately wouldn't take his things to a laundromat where other peoples dirty laundry has been exposed.
I always go with 8 – 10 onesies (undershirts), 5-8 sleepers (footsie pyjamas), and 2-3 "visiting" outfits (the fancier stuff) for each size. Also, 8-10 pairs of socks, 3-4 baby hats, lots of receiving blankets and baby blankets to keep baby warm in the carseat. SAVE YOUR $ ON SCRATCH MITTENS – USE SOCKS INSTEAD.
