aaahhhhhh!  Where can I buy carrot coloured baby clothes?  lol

Ellie either gets it all over her vest (I take all her other clothes off to feed her and make her wear a long sleeved bib) or as soon as I take her bib off and think she's stopped being sick, she does even more all over her clothes, carpet, floor etc.

She has always been a very sicky baby but this is just ridiculous!!

OK useless fact coming up...

DH works for a company that supplies corporate clothing and they have a quality control unit where they test the garments. Carrot and Pear are the 2 worst foods for staining clothes apparently! They were testing a new product which claimed to remove all stains and they were going to market it with their clothes. On all their tests, it worked ever time..

So I sent in some of Ella's bibs - AND IT DOESN'T WORK!!! So they're taking it up with the manufacturer!! LOL!!!

Will let you know what happens!!!

Cool - will try that.

Ella blows raspberries every meal - she thinks its hillarious!! No one believed that I used to wear a shower cap to feed her - now they see why!!

I thought I'd done really well on monday. I went swimming having changed my trousers cos they had apple and apricot on them, top was Ok.. got to the pool, the receptionist gave me a funny look.... turns out I had a big lump of fruit in my hair!!

How glam!!!

LMAO Dizie!  What an image I've got in my mind of you!!  lol

If I'm on my own in the house feeding Ellie, I take my pants off because I know she'll only throw up on them lol

Ellie hasn't started blowing raspberries yet!!  can't wait for that one...NOT!

I always strip Ella down to her nappy if I'm at home or a close friends house cos she gets coverred.

I don a lovely stripey apron!! Perhaps I do need to go back to the shower cap too!!!

I found with the girls it was banana that stained really badly and never came out and it's grim as it's black.

I use Nappisan in my wash and if it's badly stained I soak it in a bucket of nappisan for a few hours.  If you line dry it after washing the sun also bleaches what ever is left out.  Plus Nappisan cleans your washing machine as it's an antibacterial so every is nice and clean and smells good.
