Tips for Prevention
- Many diaper stains can be prevented by simply changing the baby's diaper as soon as possible after it becomes soiled.
- If you are going to be wearing a shift dress around a baby, consider dressing them in clothing that covers their stomach, such as onesies and bibs.
- Be sure to wash the dress with cold water immediately after coming into contact with the diaper stain.
