What to put in your diaper bag?

As soon as you are out and about with your baby, the diaper bag is the essential accessory that accompanies you everywhere.

A change of clothes, diapers, bottles, wipes: the list of things to think about is long. Thanks to the diaper bag, you can be sure you won't forget anything and that you'll be able to handle any situation.

Only here is the problem: you might want to overload it with too many accessories.

We'll tell you how to prepare it. You'll see: it's all about organization and priorities. With this list of essentials, you won't be caught off guard.

Changing bag essentials

Rather than loading your child's diaper bag with ALL the daily necessities, it's best to choose your accessories carefully.

We don't want to go swimming, just go on a little outing with bébé!

So let's see what to get.

To change bébé

  • A few layers
  • A pack of wipes or the spare toiletries (cleansing lotion + cotton discs)
  • A complete change of clothes
  • A changing mat
  • Handkerchiefs
  • Bibs

Good to know:
Also see plastic bags that will help pack used diapers. There are also special bags that neutralize odors.

While we are on the subject of diaper changes, a little advice: also pack a spare top for yourself. It is not uncommon for a bikini to rebound after a long time. So it's best to have something to change into in case of a little accident.

To make b&e eat;b&e;

  • 1 bottle of water
  • 1 bottle of water.
  • The milk: prepare 2 doses of powdered milk. It is better to have one in advance.

If you want to light the bag, leave the water bottle and just fill the bottle. Béb&e; will be able to drink, but if he is hungry, you can quickly get him his meal.

 

To keep bébé

Maybe on a night out, bébé may want to play.

  • 1 comforter: to reassure your child
  • 1 rattle or cloth book

The idea is to avoid carrying tons of toys, but to privilege the small amusements that will make the time pass à the child. We quickly take all the trunk à toys and we focus only on the essential.

Tip
If your child is a fan, don’t forget his pacifier. Even take a spare one from your diaper bag. A pacifier is so quick to fall on the floor and get lost, that the rest of the trip can quickly become more complicated! So make sure you have a backup.
