Question about strange spit-up?

[RMM1117]

DD is 3 1/2 months old and exclusively BF. She nurses fine but has a dairy sensitivity so I eliminated all dairy. Her spit up looks/smells/seems normal, but it STAINS our clothes/sheets, ect. The stains look very similar to when you get salad dressing on your clothes, like an oily stain. She spits up a lot so its really messing up all of our clothes, and hers. I have tried more than one kind of detergent, so I know thats not it. And its not like we let the spit up sit for any unusual amount of time, I do laundry pretty much every day. Anyone know whats up with this? Thanks!

I have no idea about the spit up, but for the laundry part, have you tried some dish soap? I've had some luck with it with other oily stains. Just put some directly on the stain, undiluted and work it in and then slowly add water to emulsify the oil.

I have always gotten "grease stains" on my clothes from breastmilk or spit up.

I haven't noticed stains on my clothes, but DH swears a few of his t-shirts have "greasy" stains on them too. I would try sunning them to see if that will take the stain out (DH has yet to do this so I can't tell you if it works).

Sometimes I get these greasy stains on nursing tanks, and from spit up now and then. The way I figure it, breastmilk has fat in it (you can see it rise to the top of a bottle, even), just like cow milk. I'd get stains like that from melted butter or oils, so I figured it had to be that.

Ds's spit up never did this! I dont get it!

It's just a protein stain. I use Shout Advantage for all of my protein stains. My babe's spit dries yellow ...

Do you think Oxy-Clean would work?
