My daughter recently turned one, and so we hvae been transitioning from breastfeeding to a sippy cup of milk. She is super messy with a sippy cup (always has been), drooling/spitting all over the place. Anyway, even after being laundered her bibs stink like rotten milk. Any suggestions how to get this smell out? Thank you!

What can I do next?

Vinegar in the wash - add about a cup and that SHOULD do the trick
Good Luck

Try letting it soak in a vinegar and water solution for a few hours...over night if you like...before the laundry...it really seems to do the trick...then also add vinegar to the laundry water.

You could always prolong the breastfeeding - which is what WHO recommends and the AAP will be considering revising - breastfeed until 2 is optimal.

There is no magical cut off for 1 years old meaning there is no longer a benefit of breastfeeding. Breastmilk is so amazing that research companies are creating cows and goats that are genetically modified to create breastmilk closer to a woman's in order to charge thou$and$ for treatments of AIDS and Cancer patients with breastmilk.

I would add baking soda to the wash water.

Wash it in a load of whites that have bleach in them. Start the water and add the detergent and a bit of bleach. Then add the clothes. I even use this method on darks if I have left them in the washer too long and they have soured. I always fill the washer all the way before adding the darks though. That way they don't fade.

I wash light grays, whites, khaki's, light screen print tees, underwear, bras, socks, etc...anything that won't fade on to the other clothes in water with a bit of bleach in it. It lightens the light colors so the bright stuff shows up more.

I wonder if she's not developmentally ready for a sippy cup. Drinking from one does require a certain amount of coordination of muscles in the face.

You could rinse them out while they're still damp which would remove the milk before it sours.

Haha! I was reading the pregnancy nipple pain question right before this one, and then somehow this question/answers popped up and I saw the answers to let them soak in vinegar. Oh boy, that was a good laugh ;)

Anywho, that is all...

Oh, airing them out in the sun will sometimes help with the small too. (The bibs, not nipples...)
