Leaving the house with a baby can feel like packing for a whole trip 😂 Here are the diaper bag essentials to keep within reach for errands, appointments, and days out—from changing supplies and spare clothes to the little extras that make outings ea...
My diaper bag goes everywhere with us. I keep it stocked with the basics so getting out the door with baby is a little less chaotic. 🤎

I keep a changing mat in the diaper bag for those diaper changes when we’re away from home. It gives baby a clean spot to lie down wherever we end up. 🤎

I keep this clipped to my diaper bag for messy changes on the go. Having a bag ready for a dirty diaper or outfit is so handy when there’s no trash can nearby. 🤎

I always pack a couple of extra onesies. Spit-up and diaper leaks have a way of happening the second we leave the house 😂
Infant Onesies for Newborns and Babies
I tuck a couple of burp cloths into the diaper bag for spit-up, dribbles, and all the little messes that happen when we’re out. 🤎
Some babies will take any bottle, and others have opinions 😂 I like this sample box because it lets you try five different bottles before buying a whole set of one kind.
Babies can be picky about pacifiers too 😂 This six-pacifier sampler lets you try different shapes before stocking up on one your baby may not like.

I keep pacifier and bottle wipes in the diaper bag for quick cleanups when we’re out and a sink isn’t nearby. So handy when something gets dropped! 🤎

A little reminder to pack something for mom, too 🤎 I keep nipple cream with the feeding essentials so it’s easy to find when we’re out.

I use Huggies for my baby, so I always keep a few in the diaper bag. Running out halfway through an outing is a mistake I don’t want to make 😂

I use Huggies wipes too and always keep a pack in the diaper bag. Between diaper changes, sticky hands, and little messes, we go through them fast 😂

I keep Tubby Todd All Over Ointment in our diaper bag because it’s one of our go-to baby care items. I like having it handy when we’re away from home. 🤎
Tubby Todd All Over Ointment Baby Eczema Cream
I keep Aquaphor in the diaper bag for diaper changes and little dry spots while we’re out. It’s one of those small things I’m glad I packed. 🤎
Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment 7 OZ
For the outfit that doesn’t make it home clean 😂 I keep a zippered wet bag in the diaper bag so messy clothes have their own spot until we get home.
I keep hand sanitizer in the diaper bag for myself, especially after on-the-go diaper changes when I can’t get to a sink right away. 🤎
Treeroot 4 Pack Alcohol-Free Hand Spray
I pack a spare shirt for myself too, because the baby isn’t always the one who needs an outfit change 😂
Women's V-Neck Boho Flower Graphic Tee
I like having an insulated bottle bag to keep bottles together and easy to grab when we’re out. One less thing to dig for when it’s feeding time 😂

A diaper bag with room for the “just in case” stuff, too 😂 It comes with a changing mat and has pockets for bottles and smaller essentials. I like that you can carry it as a backpack when you need both hands free with baby. 🤎
