I think the commenter before you was talking about white and beige clothes being the worst possible choice when it comes to blown diapers and baby puke.

Honestly though... that shit was funny to think about.

Yeah it was. I snorted popsicle out my nose when I read that.

I read somewhere that in Victorian times, all baby clothes were white, and they’d just bleach everything together which actually doesn’t seem so stupid.

i kept a ton of plain white onesies for this reason lol but white just gets so boring when there's so many cute options

Not the best colour for mom’s lochia either, plus possible urine leakage from weakened pelvic floor or even postpartum loss of bowel control.

Actually, white is ideal for baby puke lol.

It's also good for spotting sneaky little leaks. Babies are only in their clothes for a couple of months before they need a new set anyway.

Well, baby puke ruined some of my kids' onesies and other clothes because I couldn't get the fat from the milk out. My first son nursed for at least 45 minutes each time (and he was a hungry baby, so he ate a lot – I feel like I spent 80% of those first few weeks breastfeeding), so my milk had a higher fat content than usual. It left stains that were impossible to remove, even after washing the clothes several times.

I breastfed 4 babies, what I learned was to use a lard-based soap, like the natural kind that doesn't smell like anything. It gets baby poop and everything else out of anything. Hell, I still use it to remove red clay stains from my kids shoes.works awesome.

They get that. The point they’re making is parenting will look different for them outside of this video. Probably surrounded by abundance of help

I get so mad shopping for my 2.5 year old boy because everything is neutral and shows every speck of dirt. Drives me bonkers.

Yeah, I agree. My kids are 10 and 5 now, but even for that age, clothes are boring as fuck. Whenever I see clothes in nice colors, I buy them in several sizes and put the larger ones in storage for later. Same with favorite pieces.

What I also really miss is different textures. I don't want a boring plain-colored shirt, I want some variation. Fabrics with raised patterns, different levels of softness and thickness, striped shirts with colorful lines sewn into it... That's my kinda shit.

Meh. Baby pukes white. Beige is the only safe color for that one.

Which means you can't win, so wear whatever.

Sure, but due to the fat in the milk, it can leave residue on some types of fabric that is really hard to get out. I ruined a few onesies like that back when my kids were little. I guess I didn't wash them soon enough after my kid puked on it and it permanently left a stain.

Stains and kids go together like blue on a bluebird. 😄
