    You know i always wondered what those stains were from and looking at the old baby clothes i have they actually look like drool marks from when bub was teething.

    I recently washed some of my knitted baby clothes (which are now 30 years old!) and to our suprise, the old stains came out! I put Nappisan (the in-wash type) in with my normal laundry powder then washed as usual in the machine - no soaking required. Only one outfit required three washes, the rest were clean after the first wash!

    I noticed the same thing on my first daughters newborn clothes when I pulled them out for the new baby. I'm guessing that it's actually milk vomit and some of the stomach acid has come up with it perhaps and over time discoloured the fabric?! Just a guess! I just soaked mine in napisan and washed as normal. I hung them out in the sun too, so maybe that had something to do with the stains disappearing... I just couldn't be sure.
