Organized New Mom Tip # 20: Wear layers

Getting drooled on, spit on, or pooped on is part of the territory when it comes to new motherhood, but that doesn’t mean you have to walk around with baby remnants or a burp cloth on your shoulder while you’re out with your little one.
While I’m not saying you should be ashamed of wearing baby spit-up (heck, I wore it like a badge of honor) , I am saying that it’s good to be prepared in case the situation-at-hand calls for a spotless shirt. Wearing a couple of layers makes it easier to accomplish this goal.
I had a beloved light hoodie that I wore most of the time that pretty much went into the wash at the end of each day. I usually wore a t-shirt under that and then a cami tank under that. That gave Baby 3 shots to destroy my ensemble before I was forced to change. If I was out and about and Will decided to dive bomb me, I would just peel the layer off, roll it up, and throw it in the diaper bag. It was much easier than trying to clean up the mess on the spot.
You don’t have to be gross like me and wear the same clothing every day. Stores like Old Navy and Target sell tons of clothes with layering options, and they’re usually found at great deals so they’re cheap to replace.
