I have a front-loader, so I felt pretty comfortable that it would be okay - it was just the drying that I was worried about. And I would have taken your advice on the tennis balls, except we are a tennis-ball-lacking household. So I just put in on the dry cycle about 5 times. Generously shaking the duvet out in between. Worked fine and the smell of vomit has disappeared - fabulous!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758875729678947736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26583004.post-85307268183541392132009-02-23T20:55:00.000-05:002009-02-23T20:55:00.000-05:00Debbie, have you had a bad experience with washing...Debbie, have you had a bad experience with washing your duvet?<BR/><BR/>We don't use dryer sheets, as again, it's more chemicals (especially worrisome when said fabric is in your face all night sleeping...let alone your kids').

She once had vomit every day for 2 weeks but was totally normal in between. She ended up being constipated and the back up was coming up (totally gross). She got over it before the x-ray came back.<BR/><BR/>Aren't kids fun :)Vonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292105498877002485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26583004.post-43207101780696693332009-02-20T18:58:00.000-05:002009-02-20T18:58:00.000-05:00Cool - thanks Carly for the tip!Cool - thanks Carly for the tip!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758875729678947736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26583004.post-48220920608379283062009-02-20T13:43:00.000-05:002009-02-20T13:43:00.000-05:00Oh, yik.

So yes -- warm vomit all over my neck, arms, belly and feet.<BR/><BR/>As for the duvet, we wash ours regularly. Unfortunately I'm a sweater, so it can get pretty grungy. Especially after Lucy was born, and I sweated out all the retained fluid. So. gross.<BR/><BR/>ANYWAYS, just toss it in the wash as usual. The most important part is to make sure it fully dries, or the feathers go moldy. The secret? Toss tennis balls into the dryer with the duvet -- they hit the fabric and feathers to make sure they don't clump together and stay wet.<BR/><BR/>Makes a racket, but worth it. Plus cheaper and healthier than drowning the blanket in dry cleaning chemicals.Carly Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059852155891559776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26583004.post-6819174953511496812009-02-20T11:17:00.000-05:002009-02-20T11:17:00.000-05:00Poor Maddy.

It's probably a virus, so it's entirely possible the little guy at your daycare has been reinfected rather than it just hanging on. All I can say is disinfectant wipes for everyone!
