Plain white baby clothes

[LMH20]

Ok so call me Boring if you like but i love the color white i think its easy to wash no worrying about colors running or decals fading or coming off etc etc BUT i was wondering if there is any one else out there like me who thinks the same it seems if i dress my my child in all white babygro's for the first 12 months or until walking age then i might seem a tad weird lol also i think babies should'nt be dressed in bright colours and weird outfits anyway its kinda like turning them into an accessory when i see babies in bright clothes and those annoying cloth shoes (which are so pointless) i just think well why dont you just put a couple of handles on your baby and tote them around like a handbag may aswell lol am i the only one who thinks this way babies just look so cute and scrummy by themselves they dont need anything else to make them cute IMO......discuss

Enjoying this. What job do you do op out of interest?

OP I hope your baby doesn't have eczema tendencies because that will put paid to the vanish and possibly the pets.

Once your baby is here I think you might adjust a little. I never thought I'd wear flowery skirts but I did from when my eldest was about 18 months until my youngest was about 4. They have the most delightful habit of wiping their darling little noses on the closest things to hand and a nice flowery skirt didn't show the snail trails. .

Either the OP is pissed, or she actually has a sense of humour...

[LMH20]

I work as a secratary and no im not joking or a troll :( power napping is the way forward

[LMH20]

and no we dont have any eczema in the family if we did i wouldnt be looking at bleaching or vanish and also yes you can buy bleach for clothes but it still has the slight bleachy smell which happens to be one of my favorite smells

[enormouse]

Op I'm curious, can you get bleach that fits with your gmo free/chemical free/ organic ethos?

[BikeRunSki]

The most Eco friendly baby clothes are surely second hand?

[LMH20]

im strange i can about chemicals in my food not bothered about a bit of bleach like i told the weird hippy man the other day and like i said further up the thread a few rinse cycles will get rid of anything left on the clothes maybe not all the smell but the residue should come off

It's great you like white clothes. My 10 month DD has a whole mix of clothing, from white and pastels to bright and frilly. And jeans. She's had D&V for the last 48 hours. I hope we are going to see the light at the end of the tunnel soon. All I know is, I have done and have still to do, a shit load of laundry. I couldn't care less what colour it is.

It's a bit like trying to read texts from my grandma. The odd full stop wouldn't go amiss!

So scanning through it seems that OH wants to dress her baby in white, which is fine cos she lives in a science lab, but everyone else disagrees, as does the smelly tramp. Phew, I'm off for a (power) nap!

[mumbaisapphirebluespruce]

That's about right Samba!

[sambababy]

I meant OP. Definitely going for that nap.

[Corabell]

Does the op have any advice for me? I keep getting drawn to bold patterns for my LO. How can I stop this and become a better parent?

[thereisnoeleventeen]

i'll be using high waisted re usable nappies to contain most of the "poonami"

I've just learnt where I went wrong with my 3, I bought trendy hipster low rise nappies!!!! Silly me, gah! I won't make that mistake again... All nappies are high waisted OP, unless you get them so high waisted that they come up to the neck you little darling is going to do the occasional explosive poo that is going to erupt right out of their nappy...usually when you are late and they are in their best out fit.

As for the poor hippy guy with the dreadlocks...did you give him the same treatment that you've given people on here? he was possibly just trying to be helpful or (shock horror) sharing different opinion with you.

p.s....the poo is going to smell.

[LMH20]

he suggested i put baby clothes on a wash line with muck and stains on them and let them air out and then put them back on my LO would any of you do that and im not trying too make anyone feel like a bad parent lol ................ full stops there they are !!

[CbeebiesIsMyLife]

Oh op this is like car crash tv!

My 2 girls both had intolerances, while we were sorting it ou poonami was an everyday occurance (I have a haliarious blog post you should read sometime it will have you calling social services and running for the hills with your pfb!!) do you really think if there was a nappy that contained it all I wouldn't have tried it?! Do you think I like cleaning up shit? Do you think I like the washing an how rein of a screaming baby that c

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

ROFLMFAO!
OP you do know that sleep deprivation causes insanity, don't you?

[CbeebiesIsMyLife]

Washing and showerin of a screaming baby that brings? Trust me if a magical nappy existed I would have hunted it down and bought an entire life time stock of them!

And as for sleeping it's great you power nap, you will need it. Babies feed every 30minuites to 2 hours in the first few months, including through the night.

Please please come back in 9 months and apologise to is all! You are in for 1 steep learning curve!!

[MyriadOfMiracles]

Op you do have a sense of humour! I'll give you that...
This whole thread has been very , very amusing infact!
PS OP, regardless of wether exzema is in the family , washing their stuff with bleach is highly likely to irritate them in one way or another! As is vanish ( i learned this the hard way) after you use vanish wash the item a couple of times :)
Not very Rco friendly mind you...

[mumbaisapphirebluespruce]

CBeebies c'mon you obviously didn't try hard enough to find the nappies that would contain a poonami. Must try harder. Thankfully, you don't have to as the OP knows which ones are best, and has already stringently road tested them in her mind. We can all now rest easy in the knowledge that poonamis will be a thing of the past. Phew. I'm all ears. What is the best brand then OP?

[betman]

Just as a consideration about the sleep thing, I just did a quick search and found numerous (seemingly reliable) sources basically saying that women who get less than 6 hours sleep in their third trimester have a higher risk of needing a c section or going into early labour. Worth knowing.

OP he may have meant that sunlight breaks down bilirubin - it's the stuff that makes baby poo bright yellow. It will not bleach out with oxygen bleach, trust me (and I hope you don't mean chlorine bleach on baby clothes?) - it is Very Very Stainy! But uv light decomposes it and fades the stain. So, wash white baby clothing, discover yellow stain remains, leave on window sill for a few days... it's not a hygiene problem as you've already washed it.

Hang on. You work in administration but you cannot spell or write. In all seriousness, are you telling the truth? Most people can spell their own job's name.

Your posts make you sound younger than 20 and vulnerable (if you are genuine). I work with vulnerable teens and am strongly starting to suspect this based on the tone, phrases, wish to assert yourself through "expertise" (paleo, napping) which sounds naive and implausible to adults, repetition and self contradiction.

Rather than message boards, I would urge you to seek real life support and advice from older relatives or community members.
