NBR Laundry Help (Don't laugh at me too hard)

So, I officially have done the stupidest thing possible.

I wash my diapers on a small, hot load and I forgot to reset the washer to a large, cold load. 

I do one load of laundry a day (other than diapers), so it is always mixed (colours, whites, darks) but because of the cold water, I've never had a problem with bleeding. Now all my little boy's nice white background sleepers have a pink background and one of his little pairs of overalls has a big brown spot on it. 

I've been looking at remedies online but wanted to know if anyone here has ever had anything work to undo bleeding- preferably something that won't irritate my little boy's skin. 

Any ideas?  I've tried oxyclean and am trying borax right now.

    I always have luck if I soak something in cold water with oxyclean for a day and then rewash it

    Usually if you do it quick enough the color will come out of it.

    I would try adding a cup of bleach to the water. You might risk ruining the clothes, but if you dont think you'll put him in pink, then it's worth the risk.

    I can't offer any solutions, but I often forget to change the temp and cycle on my washer too.  For preventative measure I wash colours with synthrapol for their first washing.  Synthrapol is a soap that removes excess dye particles from fabric, I'm a fabric dyer so I have it on hand.
