When I became a mom for the first time, I truly could not believe how often my teeny tiny baby was going through diapers – and, more importantly, how explosive her bodily movements were. From projectile spit up to poop attacks that always escaped any diapers – our household was quickly turned upside down, and became a 24-7 laundromat to keep up with all of the baby-related laundry that would easily pile high each day. I thought, rather naively, that this phase of constant laundry and stains would end?until we entered the solid foods stage. Oh boy! It got worse and that laundry pile grew faster than ever before.
Because we try to be conscious about maintaining an eco-friendly household as much as possible, here are some of our top tips for easy (and eco-friendly) ways to keep your baby’s clothes clean on a daily basis. Photo courtesy of Gracie Carroll

Washing clothing too often isn’t good for its longevity in your wardrobe, and, of course, running your washing washer and dryer constantly isn’t exactly great for the environment either. If your kid has successfully made it through the day without completely destroying the outfit they have been wearing, don’t be afraid to set those clean items aside and have them wear them again. Even if it’s the next day, we won’t tell! Be proud of yourself for getting clothes on them at all.
