Mum shares genius hack to repurpose old baby grows so you get more for your money
A MUM has gone viral on social media after sharing her hack to make the most out of old baby grows that no longer fit your child.
And fellow parents loved her genius repurposing trick so much that they said they’d be following in her footsteps, as it would save them money in the long run.
TikTok’s LJ Flom, aka @ljflommom, shared her parenting advice as part of her social media series ‘Things I wish I knew as a first time mom.’
The American TikToker said that when your baby has outgrown their baby grows you just need to reach for a pair of scissors.
@ljflommom then explained that the trick to “repurposing those onesies” is to cut the bottom half of it off, including the part with poppers.
She demonstrated the hack for her 652.3k followers as she showed how to cut evenly until you left with what looks like a T-shirt and a pair of pants.
Then, you take the bottom half and simply undo the poppers until you are left with your new creation – a bib.
The piece of material can then be used at meal times or snack time to stop your little one from getting in a mess.
And people couldn’t believe they hadn’t thought of it themselves, as it means they’d have countless more bibs for no extra cash.
One person wrote: “Everybody’s so creative!”
While another impressed parent added: “Oh wow, I didn’t see that coming.”
A third person commented: “Can’t believe I’ve been so daft and been buying bibs for my kids.”
And a fourth simply said: “Cute!”
Elsewhere, a fifth mum said she’d have taken advantage of the tip if she’d have seen it before her kids were all grown up.
She said: “Awesome… wish I knew this then.”
The video, which racked up 88.8k likes and counting, isn’t the only time @ljflommom has shared her new mum tips.
She’s also revealed how to stop children opening kitchen cupboards by putting a wooden spoon in between the handles, and laying out your baby’s clothes in their cot ahead of bedtime.
While one of her most recent videos shared how she’s started to use a hair tie to and tying it around the toilet paper in her bathroom.
The reason?
It means her little girl won’t think of unravelling it as a fun game anymore, as she wrote: “No more wasting toilet paper!”
