What you really need in your Diaper Bag
Hi all,
Today’s post is all about what to bring in your diaper bag and it’s going to be an interesting one because I’m eventually going to look back at this post and say “what did I REALLY need”? The below are the items I’ve added to my diaper bag before baby’s arrival. These come from either recommendations, reading, research or just intuition of items I’d think I’d need. So let’s jump in and see what has been added to my diaper bag and why!
Diaper Bag
Let’s begin with the diaper bag itself: I chose this Senreve blue Maestra bag for my diaper bag as it’s spacious, and can also pass for a normal bag. To help me organize the inside, and not have the inside ruined by any spills, I’ve included a ToteSavvy diaper bag insert which comes in different sizes and colors. These have an insulated pocket for the bottle, are easy to clean, and feature a removable changing mat for the unexpected.
Diaper Bag Must-Haves
The list of items I’m included in my diaper bag initially is extensive and, as I mentioned, we’ll see in due time what is truly needed or not. So let’s go one by one:
Well, it wouldn’t be a diaper bag without… you guessed… diapers! For diapers, I’ve opted for Dyper, a subscription-based service that you can control in terms of how often you receive dypers with an App and can even receive some on an emergency basis if you’re running out. They’re good for the baby and for the environment, so it’s something I’m truly exciting about using. I encourage you to read more on Dyper by checking their website out.
I’m including some burp clothes - both monogrammed and with fun designs. Then I also invested in some pee pee tee pees from recommendations from other boy moms. From there, a few different set of wipes: water wipes, bottle and pacifier wipes and nose and face wipes. This is one of those things that I wonder which one will see more use.
From an entertainment perspective, I know many add a tablet, and I’m sure I will at some point in the future, but not quite yet. So I have some old school entertainment, in the form of touch and feel books.
See some of the other selects that made my diaper bag for now and let me know which one you think is a must-have and which one is extra by commenting below.
