I recently discovered the Hello Bello backpack-style diaper bag and it has pretty much changed my life. Check out what I have packed in its pockets and compartments.
Here's what's in my diaper bag
Items for baby:
- Diapers (at least 4 for a morning outing)
- Wipes
- A changing mat
- Hand sanitizer spray
- Baby-friendly sunscreen stick
- A couple of teethers or toys
- A clean onesie or outfit
- A wet bag for used diapers and soiled clothes
- Pacifier
- Bib or bandana
Items for me:
- A clean shirt (sometimes even a fresh bralette—spit-up has a way of hitting every article of clothing)
- Bamboo nursing pads
- A protein bar or granola bar
- A clean mask
- Mood-boosting and energy-bumping gummies
- Travel-size hand cream
- My wallet
- Sunglasses
If my toddler is going to be with us, I'll also pack:
- A change of leggings & undies
- An extra snack or two
- Kids vitamin gummies (gummy party!)
- Crayons and a pocket notepad
- A small book or two
- Some fun Band-aids
My tips & tricks
- Obviously, I'm not going to carry these entire bottles of gummies with me, so I put them in small child-proof containers and refill as needed.
- The Hello Bello diaper bag actually comes with a tri-fold changing mat! This is a big deal to me because it means it actually fits in the diaper bag nicely. It's easy to clean, too.
- Don't forget to re-load your baby's change of clothes after it's been used!
