Oh, and my MIL says that if you dream about fish someone's pregnant:) Not me though!

I'm going to keep that in the back of my mind for days when we have kids. I feel a need to find the chemistry in that, but I think I'll skip that for now. The tip my mom gave me that I thought would never work but did was that if you're making a cake mix cake and it says to butter/flour the cake baking tin thing, use a little of the cake mix itself (before it's mixed with the liquids) instead of flour. It won't leave the edges floury and it works like magic. On the other hand, my Grandma always said that eating ice would make you anemic (and she was a nurse...), so there's another nugget of wisdom from my family, but that one, I'm pretty sure, is wrong. Even still I almost never eat ice even all this time later. Wow! I’m going to keep that in the back of my mind for days when we have kids.

I have had to do this a few times back to back but it's always got the stains out for me. I do it for my stuff, when I remember:), and my son's stuff....again when I remember:) My MIL mentioned it to us first but looking back I know my Mom did that stuff too. And my Mom also uses those stain thingy removers, I'm so sure that's the technical name too!, and let that sit for a little bit before washing.

I use the Shout Gel. You need to spray it as soon as the stain happens and then you can throw it in the laundry basket. When you go to wash it, spray it again. If it is truely a tough stain, then do the grass thing. I fear that we will find your lawn littered with baby clothes and people will think you are having some kind of yard sale. However, cool tip. Does it work on other stains or just baby stains? I am shocked, SHOCKED, that you were throwing them away. You can, also, get the stains out with Shout. I use the Shout Gel.
