Diaper Bag Essentials

In case you’re curious (or in case you’re a mama-to-be trying to plan for your registry), here’s what I keep in my diaper bag (with links!):

  1. Skip Hop mobile changer (which acts as an on-the-go changing pad and houses wipes and a travel size diaper cream)
  2. Solly wrap
  3. Two wet bags — one houses clean diapers (either disposables or extra cloth + a spare cover) and a change of clothes for P (because you never know when the next blowout will be — and you better believe it will happen as soon as you’re out of the house without a change of clothes).  I like keeping two wet bags in the diaper bag so that I have one for dirty diapers and the other for clean diapers and clothes, or for soiled clothes in the event that there’s a major blowout (because you don’t want to be throwing a dirty outfit in with a dirty cloth diaper — it’s just more work when you get home!)
  4. A burp cloth — usually I just use a cloth diaper as a burp cloth, but I have a couple handmade ones which are a little more portable (and cuter!) so I stashed one of those in the bag
  5. Pacifiers in a case to keep them clean (the case came with these pacifiers — Prim hated the pacifiers, but the case has really come in handy!)
  6. Aden and Anais muslin blanket — I like keeping this one in the diaper bag because it came with it’s own carrying bag, and the Aden and Anais swaddles are perfect for draping over the stroller or carseat or wrapping up P when we’re out and about
  7. And last but not least my diaper bag — it’s not technically a diaper bag (and the fact that it doesn’t have dividers like a classic diaper bag can occasionally be a pain), but I love that it’s light and flexible and doesn’t look so much like, “Oh hey, that girl is a MOM.”

    Hi, I love the look of the baby wrap-is it lightweight and does baby get sweaty in it? I use a stretchy wrap but baby gets really hot in it! 🙂

      Yes — it’s super lightweight, which is one of the reasons I love it. Baby only gets hot in it when it’s really really hot out, so I definitely recommend it!
