Cleaning up baby spit-up
Just curious if there's any certain product that'll help clean up any
left over residue once you get the majority of it up with paper towel/ tissues. |

Cleaning up baby spit-up
We have a small machine for shampooing carpet and upholstery. It has a soapy hot water reservoir, dirty used water reservoir, sprayer, brush, and vacuum. It has been used many, many times to clean up vomit, also potty training accidents, and various food and drink spills, and muddy footprints. We use it not only in the house but also in our vehicles. The worst spill so far was a bottle of cooking oil dropped in the kitchen, that shot gobs of oil all across the living room carpet. If you don't want to own one of these machines, and you want to use less elbow grease, another option is to rent a good commercial grade carpet cleaner for a day and do your entire house all at once. It can make a dingy wall-to-wall carpet look new, or at least almost new. Baby spit-up is far from the worst mess you should expect to clean up on carpet and upholstery. Pologirl |

Feed the babe in the kitchen where the stuff can be wiped up off non-upolstered furniture and uncarpeted floor. If this is not possible, throw down a plastic tablecloth. My 2 cents. |

Since she did not mention age, I did not think but that it was a newborn. Either hers still spits up or it's just drool or she's talking about old stains. |

If your child is spitting up constantly, it's worth it to get them checked for reflux. And, if your child does have reflux and vomits frequently, Nature's Miracle seems to help, but I'd also suggest getting a small spot steam cleaner. I'm just glad my DD outgrew hers about age 2 (and that she potty trained easily-2 years of constant messes were enough!) |

Cleaning up baby spit-up
Yes, our 6 month old spits up. Just about a teaspoon's worth. He gets
burped all the time, sometimes he doesn't burp. We had him on milk Similac at about 4 months after he stopped breastfeeding/mother stopped producing, and then maybe a week or 2 later put him on Soy Similac. I feel more comfortable as a parent knowing my son is *not* drinking milk meant for baby cow's (that's how i look at it, call me crazy and no offense to any that give their babies dairy). i saw some threads that spit up is natural. baby is growing well, he crawls like a wounded soldier (pulling himself with one arm pushing with one leg), he rolls over, he can't sit himself up yet but he sits up and balances himself well, when we goes back too far loses balance and we catch him before his head hits the carpet. |
