I am in the throes of baby poop. With an 8 week old, it seems to be everywhere I turn! This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for more information. But with some work you can remove most of the stain and possibly all of it. With poop all the way up to her neckline, you try to oh so carefully remove her clothes without spreading it even more. True story…happened to us at the doctor last week.
It was so bad I had to give the baby a bath in the sink while we were there. If you are able, run the outfit under cold water removing as much of the poop as you can.
If you are unable to immediately launder the outfit, leave it in a pan full of cold water to soak until you can deal with it. The cold water soak will prevent the stain from setting in. Once the stain actually dries, it will be much harder to remove.
The next step is to wash the outfit. Make sure you check off all of the following items:. After you have washed the outfit according to these recommendations, hang the item to dry. Just hang it on a coat hanger and let it dry on the shower curtain rod overnight, or just let it dry on a drying rack.
When an item is wet, it can fool you into believing that the stain is not there! You can only really tell if the stain is completely gone when the outfit is totally dry. Better yet, dry the outfit in the sun.
The sun has amazing stain removal properties, so take advantage of them! And its bleaching power is free, which is even better. Then wash again as directed above and dry in the sun if at all possible.
Love the sun trick! We use cloth diapers and keep them looking brand new by sunning any stains. I wish I had known this trick when my daughter was a baby. We used disposables when she was little and had many blow-outs. If there is true blood in the diaper we should see the baby in the office.
Urate is a normal waste product in the urine which can crystallize leading to reddish-orange stains in the diaper. This is not true blood and is no cause for concern. If the color appears more like true blood, then please contact our office as soon as possible.
The more orange the color appears and the happier the baby is acting, the less you need to worry! Infants commonly strain when stooling. Bowel frequency can change from month to month and often babies may not have a bowel movement for several days this is normal.
As long as they do not experience an unusual amount of discomfort passing stool, and there is no rectal bleeding, and the stool is as soft as peanut butter, it is ok to stool as infrequently as once a week or sometimes even longer. Repeat the sponge-blot process until the stain is out. DO Wash your hands well after every diaper change. Why: Mustard yellow is a very standard colour for breastfed babies.
The "seed" texture is from partially digested fat and calcium entirely common. What to do: Keep doing what you're doing! Baby 13 tips for cleaning baby poop Changing diapers is one thing, but cleaning baby poop that escapes the diaper is another kind of mess altogether.
