Diaper bags can be one of the most useful items when you're traveling with baby or just spending a few hours shopping in town. Make it easy on yourself by carefully selecting items for your diaper bag to make care of your baby a joy!
Diaper bags should be lightweight, have a wide shoulder carrying strap, have plenty of compartments for storing wipes, bottles, tissues and other things you'll be needing. Some items you may want to consider for your diaper bag are as follows:
-
Diapers...surprise! Whether you prefer using cloth or disposable diapers, you should be sure you have more than what you expect to use.
-
Diaper wipes for keeping your baby clean.
-
Bottles. Pack at least two in case one is dropped on the floor or lost.
-
Diaper rash ointment for easing your little one's discomfort.
-
Plastic zip-lock bags (great for dealing with leaky bottles).
-
Light blanket for your baby to nap or play on. Also used as a burping blanket.
-
Assortment of snacks and beverages like crackers, dry cereal, prepared baby food and ready-to-use formula for the bottles.
-
Paper towels for cleaning up that unexpected mess.
-
Small baby toys. Tip is to pack something old and something new. This way your baby will have something familiar and something unexplored to play with.
