I found it helpful to make the crib or bed up twice, in layers:


Put on the mattress pad, next put on the crib sheet, followed by another mattress pad and crib sheet, etc. That way if baby dirties the bed, all you have to do is whip off the top dirty layer and a clean bed is waiting for your freshly diapered baby and sleep-deprived parent!

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind.

She actually only got her undershirt and sleeper. Plus, I use a sleepsack rather than a blanket or swaddle. The sleepsack actually stayed clean.

It was more that it is a challenge to clean her up quickly, without making the mess bigger. Bathing her is quite the production and takes quite a bit of set up first so I'm glad I was able to get it cleaned up before it got everywhere. I wouldn't want to bath her while sleep deprived.
