Diaper Essentials
Pack one diaper for every hour you expect to be out, plus two extras. Add wipes, diaper cream, and disposable bags.
A solid all-around diaper cream that’s easy to apply and great for mild to moderate rashes.
Boudreaux’s Butt Paste Max Strength Diaper Rash Cream 14oz
Aquaphor is one of those trusty baby products I always make sure to have on hand. I love how versatile it is—beautiful for dry cheeks, soothing drool rash, caring for tiny scrapes, and even helping prevent diaper rash before it begins.
Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment 7 OZ
* Lightweight.
* Waterproof.
* Folds flat.
* Under $20 😂
KeaBabies Portable Waterproof Diaper Pad
These are our favorite baby wipes! They’re super thick, soft, and gentle on sensitive skin, so I don’t have to use a handful for every diaper change. I also love that they’re fragrance-free and free of alcohol, parabens, and dyes. We use them for eve...
RICO Baby Wipes, 720-count - Costco Wholesale
A wet bag is one of those things I never leave home without. It keeps dirty or wet clothes separate from everything else in my diaper bag, which has saved me more times than I can count after unexpected blowouts. I also use it for wet swimsuits, mess...

Sunscreens
If you have a baby over 6 months old and want a sunscreen that’s gentle, effective, and trusted by a lot of parents and pediatricians, this is definitely ones I’d feel good recommending. Sunscreens I will continue to keep in our diaper bag all summer...
Excellent UVA/UVB protection, 20% zinc oxide, very few ingredients, consistently high marks in independent testing, no titanium dioxide, reef-friendly, and an excellent long safety history. The main downside is that it’s thick.
Thinkbaby Baby Sunscreen SPF 50+, 3 Oz
This mineral sunscreen combines zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—two of the safest UV filters for babies—acting as a protective barrier that stays on the surface of the skin rather than being absorbed.
BLUE LIZARD Baby Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+
Good mineral protection and contains soothing oat, making it a nice choice for eczema-prone skin. It generally isn’t quite as water resistant or as highly rated for outdoor activities as the first two.
Aveeno Baby Zinc Oxide SPF 50 Sunscreen 3oz
Reliable and widely available, but difficult to spread.
Neutrogena Baby Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50

I honestly think muslin burp cloths are one of the most underrated baby essentials. I used them for so much more than just burping.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 Must-Have
Lovely Care 12 Pack 100% Cotton Muslin Burp Cloths
Why I prefer silicone over fabric bibs
* No soggy bibs after every meal.
* Doesn’t absorb food or odors.
* Wipes clean in seconds.
* More durable and lasts through multiple children.
* Great for baby-led weaning and messy eaters.
Cuddle Campus Set of 3 Silicone Baby Bibs
This is one of those baby items that’s worth having, even if you’re not sure you’ll use it just for nursing. I love how lightweight and breathable the muslin fabric is, and it folds up so small that it lives in my diaper bag. I’ve used it for breastf...
Konssy Muslin Nursing Cover Up with Hoop
Baby Entertainment
Pro tip: I always keep 2–3 small toys in the diaper bag and rotate them every few weeks. They stay “new” and interesting much longer than if your baby sees the same toy every day.
This has been one of our favorite diaper bag toys! It’s simple, mess-free, and keeps my little one entertained while we’re at restaurants, waiting for appointments, or riding in the car. I love that it’s made of soft silicone, easy to clean, and smal...
LiKee Fidget Popper Sensory Baby Toys 10+ Months
