Diaper Bags
Here are all the bags I've used this last go round. I have 4 kids so I know a thing or two.
Big enough for all the things. Lots of pockets and space to stay organized.
Diaper Bags
These are for when they get a bit older and you don't need as much.
Backpacks for Girls
Essentials
Everything you can throw in the diaper bag that you will most likely use.
Non Toxic binkys. Usually given at the hospital, but stores have different colors and styles. I got pink and purple for my daughter.
NICU Soothie Notched Pacifier
Soft, sturdy, and non toxic. Water wipes.
Baby Wipes
Slim for fitting but deep enough to hold a decent amount of wipes.
Pink Baby Wipes Dispenser
One of our favorites to have on hand for sore butts.
Aquaphor
Make sure you get a holder with a clip to throw on the side for all purposes and quick access.
Moisturizing and Uplifting Hand Sanitizer Sprays
These are so soft and thick and highly absorbable. We had bad pukers and these were so helpful.
Baby Girl Burp Cloths
In case you don't want to touch all the things.
Bumco Baby Bum Brush - BPA-Free Diaper Cream Spatula
For those stinky diapers. Good for public places to save everyone from the smell or if you are on the go and can't get to a trash right away.
Diaper Disposal Bags
I know some people are scared to clip baby fingers but when you get scratched by a baby talon you will find a way.
Best Baby Nail Care
If bottle feeding, we loved these.
Baby Bottles
For quick, pre made scoops of formula. This makes feeding time that much faster.
Best Baby Formula Dispensers & Mixers
Breast pumping on the go.
The Best Portable Breast Pumps We Tested at Home, at Work, and on the Road
Storage bags for after pumping. You can label them time and date and how many oz
Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags, 100 count : Baby
I used this for when my baby was nursing on one side I could catch the extra instead of soaking my shirt.
Haakaa Generation 2 Silicone Breast Pump with Suction Base 5 oz 1pk
Just throw them in the bag unless you want everyone knowing that you are nursing. Plus they save your bra and shirt from a mess.
Lansinoh Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads
Perfect for soreness and cracking.
Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream 100% Natural
Diapers
Soft with cute designs and non toxic.
Diapers
A go to diaper. These are what the hospital usually gives out too.
Pampers
