SHOUT, SHOUT, SHOUT it's simply the best!!!!
My wife uses a product called Clorox 2. Prior to washing, pour some on the stain and scrub with a toothbrush. Worked great on all food stains.
1] use plastic bibs, and shove up his/her sleeves
2] Spot treat each area with Vivid, and wash [ don't leave any all fabric bleach on clothing for any length of time - it will eat holes in the fabric.]
3] inspect all clothes before they go through dryer.
It has been years since I have had to deal with stains like that and back then, they didn't have all the pre-wash stuff or color safe bleaches. I would suggest though, to try using some of the full strength color safe bleach as a presoak directly to the spots. Put some in a small spray bottle and spray directly onto the spots, let set and then put some of your detergent directly onto the spot, then take an old tooth brush and do some direct scrubbing. Then try washing normally and see if that doesn't help. If it is really bad, you might want to take a bucket and add some color safe bleach along with detergent, add some warm water and just let the clothing soak as long as possible and keep doing the treatments as mentioned above. I would say, you should eventually get some satisfying results.
Back in the 70's when I started having babies, I did a lot of pre-soaking in diaper pails and always managed to keep things stain free. You may have to let items sit in that bucket for a few days. But I think you will get them "mostly" out.
I would check around at the stores because when my kids were babies they made a special cleaner for babies clothes that got out the baby food.
