Oh, the endless piles of baby clothes to be washed. Sure, they are so tiny and cute, but there's going to be lots of loads of laundry coming your way, with multiple daily outfit changes because of milk spit-ups, diaper leaks, and don't forget the diaper blowouts. 

Here are our top baby laundry hacks to help master baby laundry efficiently.

1.PLACE A LAUNDRY HAMPER BY THE DRESSER/ CHANGING TABLE

The best place for the laundry hamper is in the baby's room by the nursery dresser or changing table. You'll appreciate being able to put away dirty clothes quickly after baby's outfit changes.

2.CREATE A LAUNDRY DROP AREA IN THE FAMILY ROOM

Since the baby will spend time in the family room with everyone, keep a basket to gather dirty bibs, swaddles and even burp clothes.

3.TACKLE A LOAD OF LAUNDRY EVERY DAY

The high volume of baby laundry can be a headache. Ease the stress of feeling like you are drowning in piles of laundry by doing a load every day or maybe every other day.

4.USE MESH LAUNDRY BAGS
