    Google comes up with this page which suggests:
    Start by mixing baking soda and water to form a paste. Spread the mixture onto the stain and allow it to sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Gently wipe away the paste with warm water to check the results, but avoid scrubbing to minimize scratches and abrasions. and goes on to give further advice if that doesn't work. HTH.

    Congratulations embb on the safe delivery of your granddaughter :T

    Glad you're feeling better today, Jazee.

Shes changed to bottle feeding as she was getting all stressed and worked up about it baby only had 2 oz in 24 hrs, she was half and half anyway so best decision for her. Baby did have some colostrum though so shes happy with her decision. Shes like a different person now, anyway theyre going home now babys had a couple of good feeds, just waiting to hear back.
