This is not the Pinterest version in the expensive name brand diaper bag - this is the real life, tried and true, diaper bag for a mama of 2. (I just rhymed and I’m not sure if I like it? Anyways..)

Backpack beats any other style diaper bag. Don’t try to convince me. Oh and you also don’t need to pay $100+ for one.
So, last I heard, this company was going out of business, which sucks because I LOVE this diaper bag backpack. (The dragon pouch is from them too!) Some of their products were being sold on Amazon during their closeout sale so check there!

Non negotiable. Diapers + wipes. Obvi.
Listen, by baby #2 you’ll lay them down just about anywhere to change them but this changing pad is easy to transport and easy to clean.

I actually like this product from this brand but whatever your preferred rash cream is, have some in your diaper bag. Just in case.

Clean Up Essentials
Sticky hands, public highchairs, blowouts and spit up. Messes happen, these things will have you prepared.
I love these handwipes for quick clean ups post lunch, play-dates, whatever. Alcohol-free and made with aloe they are gentle enough to wipe faces too.
Boogie Antibacterial Hand Wipes
I prefer these wipes for wiping down high chairs and tables before we sit down to eat.
Sanitizing Alcohol Wipes, 100 Count, Free + Clear
These 100% cotton muslin burp cloths are my go-to. They are absorbent, they wash well, and they come in many colors. Plus, you can never have too many burp cloths.

I’m sure you’ve seen this on your FYP if you’re a mom of littles. Idk what kind of super powers this stuff has, but it does. However, do NOT let it sit overnight, wash after treating or it will discolor fabric. Speaking from experience here.

Feeding On The Go 🍼🍴
2 under 2 means bottles and snacks. Lots of snacks.
Didn’t use these for my first, and I wish I did. Love the natural response nipple. We use the glass versions at home and take the plastic ones on the go.

Mom tip: keep an extra pacifier on a pacifier chain in your diaper bag or car. When your toddler somehow yanks their pacifier chain off (it’ll happen) and you’re driving on the highway, grab your extra and reach it behind you for them to grab like a ...

Don’t you hate when you’re out in public and your kid has got bats in the cave? 🦇 Yeah me too - So I have one of these in my diaper bag. Boogers hate to see me coming. Ear wax? I’m all over it.

My absolute favorite. I have a car chapstick, a diaper bag chapstick, a gym bag chapstick - and it’s always this specific one. Gives just enough tint while also moisturizing.
