From messy feeding sessions to peeing through diapers and full out full on blowouts, babies get through a lot of clothes.

Step 1: Lay The Onesie Flat
First up, lay the onesie face down on a flat surface, such as a changing table or on the floor, and smooth out any wrinkles.
Step 2: Fold One Side
Evenly fold one side so that everything is nicely lined up and makes a straight line.
Step 3: Repeat On The One Side
Repeat the exact same step on the other side.
Step 4: Fold One Third Of The Way
Next up, fold the bottom of the onesie about one third of the way up.
Step 5: Fold Up Again
Fold the onesie up again, making sure you leave a gap at end, as shown in the pictured below.
Step 6: Fold One Last Time
Repeat the previous steps one more time, leaving a small gap at the top.
Step 7: Stand The Onesie Up
Stand the onesie up – the gap you left will help it stay upright.
Step 8: File Away
Now you’re ready to file the onesie away wherever you choose!
Some people like to use draw dividers as this helps the clothes stay in one place, whereas others (like myself) prefer to put clothes directly inside their drawers.
