Toddler boys clothes get covered in a range of stains from blood and oil to grass and food, and I rarely remember which technique for getting them out one is supposed to use for which stain. The following video shows you how to get grass stains out of clothes with methylated spirit and eucalyptus oil.

There is nothing as adventurous and curious in life as a toddler. A bookshelf is a scalable mountain, a low wall is something to be walked along and the coffee table something to be jumped off in the hope of reaching the soft landing place of the sofa . As much as we try to protect them, add baby gates and child locks, they still somehow manage to get in to trouble. That's toddlers for you. If yours are anything like mine, they probably spend at least some part of each week bleeding from a scraped knee or bashed nose from their latest adventure.
Thankfully the accidents are rarely disastrous and the tears are soon stopped and blood staunched and wiped up. Shame the same can't be said for the clothes now covered in the stuff.
Here are some handy hints for getting blood out of clothes.
Blood will set into fabric if it is immersed in hot water, so the most valuable piece of advice is to instantly treat the stain by placing the garment in cold water for at least half an hour. If you have no desire to use any chemical-based product this is the simplest solution. Soak in cold water, then launder and repeat the process, if necessary, until the stain is removed.
A point of note at this stage is not to dry the garment using any heat if the stain has not completely disappeared. If the stain is still there when you put the garment into the dryer, the stain will set and probably turn brown, becoming permanent due to the heat. Wait until every trace of the stain is gone before drying.
If the soaking in cold water and laundering method is not working, there is a useful solution made from ingredients that we have around the kitchen. Apply a combination of lemon juice and cold water to the blood stain until you can see that it has faded or disappeared (again scrubbing by hand or with a nailbrush). The stain may not completely disappear, but as granny would have done, hanging the garment on the line in direct sunlight will finish the work for you.

Toddler feet are such delicate and malleable little things, that getting the right fitting shoes for them is very important.
Babies’ feet don’t have bones‚ just soft cartilage which can easily be pushed out of shape by badly fitting shoes. Even socks that are too tight can damage their feet at this delicate stage.
A foot has 26 bones, 19 muscles and over 100 ligaments‚ which can take up to eighteen years to harden to adult form. But even before they start walking‚ babies’ feet need protection and support‚ and at each stage of their development‚ they have different needs.
Great advice on fitting baby and toddler shoes
