Feeding
As a mama of multiple babies, this is a life saver. A necessity? No. But really handy for those days/nights where catching a break anywhere would be of the most help
Baby Brezza
Portable breast pumps are a life saver when breast or mix feeding. Personally, I keep a manual pump in my diaper bags and near my bed. Then I have my rechargeable/wearable ones for around the house when I need to get things done
Breast Pumps
A good bottle drying rack is a big help keeping as organized as possible and making sure baby’s bottles dry thoroughly.

As an exclusive breastfeeding mama, to mix feeding to strictly formula due to my baby’s lactose intolerance, I found these como tomo bottles are perfect for all feedings. My babies all found it easy to latch on and adjust to when I needed to mix feed...
Comotomo
Boon baby bottles are easy to clean and if mix feeding, easier for baby to adjust to.

Hygiene/Bath time
This baby tub is one of the best I’ve tried. Super easy to store and dry, and comfortable for baby
Bathing – angelcarebaby
Good quality, easy to dry baby wash cloths are a must for bath time
Baby Washcloths & Towels

Haakaa Baby Nail Care Set - Meadow
A nice hypoallergenic lotion to moisturize baby after bath time is essential. Personally I don’t like Vaseline all over my little ones so lotions are my go to
Fragrance Free Moisture Hypoallergenic Lotion
Clothing
Best Jammie’s for newborns: Zip ups, open bottom gowns…make for easier night time changes and comfortable for baby
Baby Pajamas
Multi pack onesies are my favorites for basic everyday wear.
Multipacks
No matter how many of them we lose or how many pairs the dryer eats up…baby socks are a must
Infant Socks | Made To Stay On Little Feet
Bandana bibs are definitely my preference
Bandana Bibs
Controversial opinion but I personally stopped buying baby mitts after my 3rd baby. If you want to buy them though I recommend ones that will stay strapped on vs the ones that fall right off with little to no effort
MITTS – goumikids
I love keeping blankets handy, if you forget your changing pad you can use the extra baby blankets.
BABY BLANKETS
On the go essentials
There’s a lot of things I’ve come to be fine without in my diaper bags, one thing I will never forget is a good portable changing pad
Changing Pad
Always keep hand sanitizer in your diaper bags
All Hand Sanitizers
I’ve used regular plastic bags to store my babies, blowout clothes or dirty clothes when we’re out on the go, but I’ve had my husband throw away one too many outfits that was meant to be washed when we return home so I invested in wet bags
