  Nappy sounds much cuter! Another onesie hack I somehow missed is the little flaps up too fold back so you can slide the onesie down baby instead of pulling it over the head. I had no idea and I'm a STM!!

  Anyone have tips for getting poop stains out of stuff? LO has had exploders the last few days (never getting these diapers again) and it's like everything is now forever pooped.

  I use simple green...... It's like household cleaner/degreaser and then I rinse with really hot water in the sink then use my dreft and wash in washer. Works like a charm @bethanne09

  For poop stains: mix oxy-clean and blue dawn (the dish washing detergent) to make a paste and apply to stain with a toothbrush, add a little water as needed to get the right consistency. Works amazing! All the poop stains I've pretreated that way have completely come out in the wash.

  I just use dawn dish detergent. Pour on the stain, rub it in, then wash as normal. Dawn has saved a lot of onesies so far.

  I have a small tub of water and oxiclean prepared each day and throw poopy items in it until we have the next load of laundry ready!

  I soak in oxyclean, make a paste if necessary to pre-treat. I will have to try the dish soap combo!

  This is my favorite hack in the world!! Tried it when I was nannying and there was never any second guessing if I had given it to the kids or not

  I was really dubious of using the sun to bleach out poop stains, but it really works and is free and the least labor intensive option for me. Score!
  
  You just have to wet the stain and lay it out there before washing
