    How do you get food stains out of LOs clothes and bibs???

    I mostly am upset about a shirt that got fresh banana all over it and did not come out in the wash. Tried up & up stain remover, did not help. Thanks!

    I use plastic bibs so they don't stain. If food gets on clothes I hand wash the spot right away with dishwashing liquid to break up the food. Works on poop too. Recently, I saw on Pinterest that said that dial bar soap gets out baby food and poop stains. I have not tried it for myself though.

  • @colieann31 we made a similar decision when G was born and I don't regret it for a minute. You learn to make due with what you have money wise and it all works out. You never get this time with your itty bitty baby back so if you want to be with your baby and your family can make that work then you should definitely do that! Oh and with first time moms I feel like employers presume they have a 50% chance of the mom really returning. I have too many friends change their mind at the last minute and I know it's pretty common. They will understand!

    FFWC: I don't even attempt to get stains out. Most of Lo's clothes are from G and they still even have his stains on them. I have a few shirts and sweaters I throw on over whatever grungy looking thing he is wearing if we are seeing other people or I'm taking his picture.
    BUT if it's something of mine or DH's soaking in Oxiclean before washing works wonders!

  • And now E's temp is dangerously low. Talked to the on-call pediatrician and if I can't bring it up in 20 minutes, we're off to the ER. Awesome.
    What do you mean it's too low? How low was it and why would it be low?
  • @NikkiP15 I use zout (it's a spray on stain remover).  It works really well!

    Anyone cook zucchini for LO (or themselves)? I bought a zucchini but am clueless about what to do with it. I think I would like to make half into a purée and half into a finger food (DD will refuse some foods and a finger food but then love them as a purée, diva). I'll just steam it for the purée, but for finger food can I sauté it? Roast it?

  • @subliminalrabbit Was it a rectal temp? Did he feel cool? That's so strange! New babies can get low temps from infection but its not that common in older ones. I'd take him to the Pedi and have him checked out. Poor guy!
  • I gave LO zucchini the other night I made spears specifically for him with the skin cut off. I just sautéed it until soft with olive oil. He loved it but it was kinda slippery for him to grab off his tray.

  • I just read this travel tip and wanted to share because it is brilliant. When traveling internationally have a Starbucks card and prior to leaving the country load any unused currency onto the card for later use! This is so much smarter than buying random crap at the airport, which is my current method (I hate paying currency conversion fees).

    This is genius. I'll have to remember this.
  • R is having issues with eating finger food/adult food. He ends up pocketing it in his cheek and I have to do a finger sweep to get it out. Needless to say we are sticking with purées for now. How much should he be eating? Right now he is having 2 - 2 1/2 tablespoons of cereal for breakfast and dinner with half a container of stage 2 fruits or veggies with both. Lunch is half a container of protein and half a container of veggies. He usually has 20-24 oz of formula to go along with it. DH doesn't think he is eating enough.
  • @silverEF if he isn't gagging or choking I would keep trying, eventually he will figure out to swallow it. Your amounts sound similar to what DD is eating but I think I'm going to start offering more. For some variety you could introduce yogurt instread of the cereal for breakfast or dinner.

    They didn't understand. My manager is mad at me now and I just don't get it. She has kids herself so she should understand on some level.

    For his puree, we steamed it. We have only done one with zucchini so far; it was apples, zucchini, squash, and cheddar cheese. We haven't done it as a finger food yet.

    For ourselves, my husband sautes it (along with squash) with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Sooooo good!  
  • @riansmommie sorry I just saw your post... It's funny how names can stick with kids, DH said LO had turtle lips when he was born and he's been turtle ever since, or turtlepuss if he's being a sourpuss ;)

    She's just mad because she will need to find someone good enough to fill your shoes. She is not trying to understand your personal situation. Hopefully it will end well when you leave.

  • For those who feed your LO yogurt, what kind of yogurt are you feeding? Plain or fruit flavored? Regular or greek? What brand? I would like to have some more variety in LO's meals and plan to pick up yogurt on my next grocery trip.
  • @psnls
    I haven't started with DS2 yet, but with DS1 I did a plain 2% greek yogurt and mixed in a little pureed fruit. I liked that greek had more protein and didn't want the added sugar. My brand won't help since I'm in Canada! :)

    This. Greek with puréed fruit in it.

    Regular plain yogurt (6% fat). At first I mixed it with some fruit puree, but now she eats it plain. Astro brand (Canadian)

  • I called the cops, I'm so sick over this! I wanted to follow but I was properly fastening Ella in her car seat. My mom instinct tells me something wasn't right.

    Follow your instincts! Call the police and tell them what you saw. Describe the car, the women and the baby as much as you can. You may also want to call target and find out if there was anything that happened around the time you were there. That sounds crazy!

  • @wasnotwas the dispatcher said she would put it out to the cops on patrol. So, probably nothing. I walked past as they were getting in to the car and made eye contact, then I stood behind my car and watched her get in the front seat with the baby, and drive off 5 seconds later. I wish I was 10 seconds faster, I wanted to follow her so bad!!!!
    That is seriously disturbing. WTF is wrong with people?
