for real tho, this is advice I wish I had about one week into having a newborn.

Absolutely terrified during his first blowout. "Put it allin the washing machine with baby-sensitive detergent" It was about an hour of fear that I just got liquid poo mixed in everything.

Goddamn, did that ever make me respect the washing machine. Detergent, water, and spinning. Cat barfs on blanket? Washing machine. Kid barfs on everyone's clothes during his first real illness? Washing machine. Unknown Substance #1143 that smells worse than it looks? Washing machine.

Don't even need to use anything other than cold water. No colors or shrinking to worry about that way.

I remember those days, having to remind myself that the relief of "whew, it's just urine" is not okay.

I tried the reddit advice of cold water and sadly it definitely left stains that would've been cleaned otherwise
