What’s In My (Diaper) Bag?

If you are an over-packer like me, you have come to the right spot! I promise that little human you have does not need 3 outfit changes, 5 pacifiers, & 9 teething toys.

Check out my list of diaper bag necessities:

• Start with a diaper bag that has a ton of pockets! I have this one from Target and love it.

• Diapers, obviously. The trick is to plan at least 1 diaper for every hour you will be gone.

• Wipes, no-brainer.

• Petroleum jelly. I use this 3 Oz squeeze tube, perfect for protecting little booties from diaper rash on-the-go. I’ve found that using petroleum jelly for every diaper change is more effective in preventing diaper rash than any medicated cream is in getting rid of it.

• Burp rag.

• Easy-to-wipe changing pad.

• Extra pacifier.

• Disposable masks, thanks Miss Rona.

• Hand sanitizer.

• Plastic bag, to throw dirty diapers in and keep the smell from lingering.

• Blanket, I love these light-weight swaddle blankets from Copper & Pearl. So many cute options!

• Snacks for mom, absolute must.

• Extra onesie & pants. I suggest throwing a plain white onesie in that way it goes with anything & you won’t miss it in the closet.

• Baby wrap, I have this one from Amazon.

There you have it! Over-packers, you have no excuses anymore. I promise that your babe will be fine with just these basics. Of course you can always throw in a toy or teether but if you forget it, no sweat!

With love,
