It's inevitable. Baby's have "blow outs". Thankfully, breast fed poo is easier to clean than formula fed poo. My second child DESTROYED the family (white) baptismal gown during his baptism. Thankfully, my mom is the master of stains.
A tip for breastfed baby accidents is to rinse it in cold water and set it out in the sun. Since all of the output is natural (no processed formula), the sun works as the best "bleach" you can imagine. The once yellow gown is white again.
If you find your baby is having more and more accidents, it might be time to go up a size in diapers. Quite often I find that even if my baby isn't in the weight "range" on the package, a bigger size works better for keeping all of the poo in.
Always soak the clothes in cold water before washing...and wash in cold. This will help keep the colors on the outfit from fading while getting the stain out. Also, after you've allowed it to soak, try using a pre-treater, like spray-n-wash or 409. I've also found that adding oxi-clean to the wash load helps to get out numerous stains.
I wish you luck in your clothing adventures. May all of your whites be white and your loads be light.
