Stains from Breastfed Spit Up

I am on my third child (all strictly breasfed with no supplementing) and I have not had any trouble with staining until now! The only difference is that we are dealing with a dairy allergy/intolerence this time around. I am finding a yellowish stain and/or grease stains left behind. First of all, has anyone heard of staining spit up being the result of a more serious stomach or digestive issue when breastfed? And secondly, how do I get the yellow stains out? I have tried soaking in OxiClean, which usually works for me, but it is not for these! Thank You!

What can I do next?

Hi A.,
It's funny, I just asked this same question about 5 months ago. And, I am on my second child and didn't have this problem with my first, but my daughter also has a dairy intolerance. I never made that connection, so thank you! Anyways, what other moms recommended to me was to soak the grease-stained clothes in Dawn dish soap. It worked like a charm! I couldn't believe it. Maybe it will work for the yellow stains too. Good luck!

Karen gives the best advice. Breastmilk is high in fat, and the stains are grease. Normal clothing detergents can't appropriately take out the grease stains. I found dishwashing detergent to be the best at breaking down the grease and helping remove the stain.

Good luck.
