Default brownish stain after car trip

Sometimes after a longish car trip Lily has a coffee coloured stain around the top of her shirt. A friend has told me her baby had a similar thing and she discovered that it was blood - bub was cutting her gums on the seat belt strap.

Has anyone else experienced this? I can't find any spot that looks like it may have been bleeding.

could it be a stain from the seatbelt getting wet from dribble? Could be causing some of the dye ot rub off onher shirt. I presume the top of her shirt gets a bit wet on a long trip cause theres no one to keep wiping away the emense amount of dribble (if she is anything like Jonas atm )

Mel's explanation seems feasible to me.

Milk spillage getting discoloured?

I know lots of mothers wanting to know what these odd brown stains are that appear on baby clothes that have been taken out of storage. There are theories about dribble and milk as well as simply being a storage issue, though they only seem to occur on the newborn and tiny sizes...

So it could just be a form of whatever causes those stains, i.e. dribble or milk

Yeah, could be. I don't think it's the clour from the seatbelt though - have checked it out. It's black and the stains are light brown. I tried to get some colour out of it by placing a wet washer against it for a long time, but nothing.

Must just be the dribble/milk thing.
