Yes! I’m on Baby #4 and had this happen this morning. I was laughing while reading the line about the 4th baby. I no longer felt alone for having these problems after all of these years of “experience.” I am going to try these right now!

A. It’s not a good idea to wash poop in the kitchen sink. Dangerous.
B. Use waterproof pants such as Dappis over disposeable diapers, day or overnight.
C. What are you feeding the baby? She may be allergic to her formula, or to something you eat if you’re breastfeeding. See a doctor. Frequent blow-outs (under pressure) are not normal in an infant.
Good luck and best wishes –

I’m all about removing stains but I’m so against some of these methods. I would not use such harsh chemicals on something my child would wear again. I would definitely try the lemon juice & sun method. For those who love to spray things I’d recommend the shop club solumel!!!

In reply to Nikeata. I know!! It's such a shame more people don't know this because it is AMAZING and can save so many clothes!! I wish the sun worked on EVERY stain (some other CAN be helped by it!). Good luck in TN!

Omg! If I had known about the sunshine way when I lived in Arizona I would have saved sooooo many baby cloths for baby girl 3! Dang! We will see if this Tennessee sunshine is as powerful ?

The best way to avoid runny poo stains in the first place is to cloth diaper. The diaper covers have tighter elastics, and don’t let the poo escape as easily.

Now you may not WANT to cloth diaper, and that’s fine. Just get yourself a £10 diaper cover (wipeable, e.g. Kangacare), and slap it on over the disposable. Throw into your 40C wash once a week.

Sorted.

OxiClean is her favorite go-to of mine. Also Dollar Tree carries a powdered product called awesome cleaner. It’s in a little white tub sometimes with an orange or red lid. That stuff gets that husband smell out of the sheets… That musty smell even after washing cuz guys just seem to sweat more than girls. It gets out a lot in the washer. I do have a dog that occasionally will have diarrhea on the floor when a food disagrees with her. So the product I got for this is expensive but it might help for those really special outfits. It’s called Furry Freshness and I found it from a Facebook sponsored ad. It literally lifts out the dark brown poo from the carpet after you have cleaned up any of the chunks or scooped up any of the softer material. I am blown away by it. If I still had small children I would certainly try it on poopy clothing!

Yeah!! And, I so wish it also worked on ALL stains, but I’ve tried with other stains, like chocolate (I think) and it didn’t work. And based on what I’ve read it’s also because of the makeup of the stain itself – protein, oil, etc. But, I’m glad this works for at least some of those ugly stains!

So… I did get around to trying, and I have to say, I’ve been very impressed. Many outfits (colored and white) have come back with barely a hint (if even) of the stain. I haven’t been as successful, though, with my older child’s clothes that have gotten stained by all sorts of food. Based on what I’ve been reading elsewhere, it seems that the chemical makeup of the stain is what’s at play. I guess diaper stains are made of protein (and somehow the sunlight can work with that), but other inorganic (or at least non-protein based) stains need other methods for stain removal.

Thanks again!

Being a mother and grandmother I have experienced my fair share of poop clothing over the years! I must say the lemon juice and the sunshine would have to be my favorite stain removal method in the article. I will definitely be pinning this article and look forward to becoming a follower of your boards. Thank you Fagans.
