items A list of what you would find in my diaper bag if you took a peek inside! I am a first time mom, so I’m new to the game, but I am figuring out what works! I’m, personally, super Type B while simultaneously very anxious, so I practically bring my whol...

The Bag Itself (& others I’d recommend)
This is the diaper bag I currently use. I received it as a gift at my baby shower! I truly do love it. It fits everything and more- there are sooo many compartments, and compartments within those compartments. It’s huge, which would make it difficult...
Babylist x Itzy Ritzy® Western Diaper Bag
This is the diaper bag I originally had been considering. It is the exact same as the one I use currently, but a bit smaller! I think this would be a really great option, and I would likely purchase this one instead of the huge one I have. It seems m...
Small Diaper Bag - Itzy Ritzy Mini Plus | ItzyRitzy.com
I love these little backpacks! Monogrammed or not- Either way, so cute!! These are really nice to have for short outings or to transition into as your baby grows into a toddler. My mom used one for my little brother when he became a toddler + I’ve se...
Monogrammed Seersucker Toddler Backpack: Personalized Preschool Book Bag
For Baby
I carry about 10 diapers with me in the diaper bag, and I restock as needed. My baby has worn mostly Pampers so far, but I have also grown to really like the Target general brand which I will also link!
Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive Disposable Diapers - Size 1 - 32ct
I keep all the little extras in these bags. I put two in the front compartment and put the biggest one (with extra clothes in it) in the main zipper pouch!
Tiny Twinkle 3-Pack Airline Compliant Travel Bags with Zipper Closure, Clear Front Pouch, Diaper Bag, Toiletry/Cosmetics Organizer (Black Checkers)
7 months in, aaand these are still my holy grail 🤣 Though, these days, we definitely use them less while on the go.
Mylicon Infant Gas Relief Colic Dye Free Drops - 1 fl oz
At least 2 spare onesies at all times because if I don’t have them on hand, my child will immediately take that as a green light to have the gnarliest blowout 🥲
Gerber Baby 5pk Short Sleeve Onesie - Cream 12M: Cotton Knit Bodysuits, Pullover Crotch Snap
I have a drooly baby, so we always have to have multiple bibs with us anywhere we go- consider it part of the outfit at this point.
Terry Bibs Cool - 10pk - Cloud Island™
I have a pacifier baby, so I always have to keep one of these bad boys stored somewhere in the bag in case we (inevitably) lose track of the one he left the house with.
MAM Non-Deco Pacifier 16+ Months - Unisex - 2pk
These are great when your baby decides to launch their paci onto the floor!
Munchkin® Arm & Hammer Pacifier Wipes, Safely Cleans Feeding Essentials, 36 Wipes, 1 Pack
I put soiled diapers in these! Dog waste bags are usually cheaper than any marketed specifically for baby diapers. Plus, I do have dogs, so SOMEONE will definitely use them!
Vibrant Life Dog Poop Bags, Leak Proof, Strong Waste Bag For Dogs, 15 Count
Cannot leave the house without wipes! I have them everywhere- in all our bags, in my car, etc. Thankfully my boy’s bottom tolerates mostly any wipe, but we mostly use Huggies.
Huggies Natural Care Sensitive Baby Wipes, Unscented, 15 Pack, 960 Total Count (Select for More)
We just recently upsized to this version of the Mam bottle! They do not have the anti-colic pieces in them, so be aware of that before purchasing. Overall, I definitely do still recommend for older babies!
MAM Easy Active Bottle
Now that baby is on his solids journey, I try to always keep a good ole puree pouch in the diaper bag. He loves to eat, so he is a fan of any flavor/brand, but I recommend these!
Organic Apple Sweet Potato Baby Food Pouch - 3.5oz - Good & Gather™
Mosquitos in the south will treat your skin like an all you can eat buffet. I’m not trying to serve my baby up to them on a silver platter, so I carry this around for potential outside afternoons.
Babyganics Natural Insect Repellent Spray with Plant and Essential Oils, 2 fl oz
For Mom
Any compact toiletry bag you’ve got on hand will do the trick to hold all your motherly essentials! I usually wouldn’t use one because I am 1000% type B, but it does make it much easier to find what you need with a baby on your hip.
Vera Bradley Women's Outlet Ultralight Essential Pouch Moonless Night
Immediately yes! I swear by any aquaphor product. This one is especially nice because my lips are constantly dry 🥲
Aquaphor Lip Repair Immediate Relief Lip Balm
A little Dior lip oil doop! I’ve never tried the real deal, but- for the price- this does everything I could possibly need it to!
e.l.f. Glow Reviver Lip Oil, Pink Quartz, 0.25 fl. oz.
GOT to wipe down the cart, high chair, and such while out and about! Especially during sick season 😭
Equate Antibacterial Hand Wipes, Fresh Scent, 24 Wipes
Ladies, you already know. I am looking into trying a diva cup, but I have yet to make that attempt. So! For now, I’m sticking with tampons while on the go and period panties/pads while at home 🤣
The Honey Pot Regular Organic Cotton Tampons
A MUST for these headaches and chronic pelvic pain 😮💨 I know not everyone likes to take medicine, but I do what works for me 🤪
