I never knew what the shoulder buttons on my baby’s onesies were for – they make changing so much easier

IF you are a first-time mom, there is probably a lot you don’t know about your newborn.

With all the baby tools and conflicting advice out there, most new moms use their intuition to guide and learn as they go.

A new mom named Joanna Tellez, known on TikTok as @TellezJoanna, has gained a following on social media thanks to her videos of useful parenting tips.

She recently revealed what the buttoned epaulettes on your baby’s t-shirts and rompers are for.

If your baby has just spit up or soiled their clothes, the last thing you want to do is remove the dirty top right over their face.

That’s where those shoulder buttons come in: “Flip down the flaps and pull the dirty garment down so it doesn’t get pulled across the face.”

Her clip immediately went viral, garnering over 1.4 million views and hundreds of comments.

“Wait a minute… I’m on baby number three and only now finding out,” one person wrote.

“So you’re saying I could have avoided getting it all over her and her face and her arms and stuff all along,” added a second.

As for another little-known baby hack, a mom named Gillian Mitchell said she’s discovered the true use for something on her formula boxes — and it’s super helpful.

Taking a closer look at the powder formula container, she noticed a small plastic lip sticking out at the top.

It’s meant to balance the spoonful of the formula so you don’t have to use a knife or your finger to do this.
