Packing for Baby – Part 2

Packing the Diaper Bag

When my son was born 8 years ago, I was the most disorganized mom on the planet! I did own a diaper bag, but it never seemed to have much in it, and also routinely got left at home.  This time, 8 years on,  I was determined to be uber organized and so thought I would give you a peek into the contents of my diaper bag,  and to help with packing yours.

As many diapers as your bag will practically allow

Wipes in travel size case

Change of clothes

Trash bags to put dirty diapers, wipes and clothes in!

Portable changing pad

Baby blanket

Diaper cream

Hand sanitizer

Spare breast pads

Stain removing wipes like Shout

Bottles if needed

And as your baby gets older…

Toys and books

Bib

Feeding pot, spoon

Snacks such as cheerios, crackers

Plus of course your wallet, cell, sunglasses, pens, lip gloss, whatever else you like to carry in your purse.

Don’t forget to replenish diapers, wipes, clothes, bags, food etc as they get used,  and to also swap out diaper and clothes as your baby grows and as the seasons change.

..and lastly, don’t forget to take the diaper bag with you when you go out!
