Diaper Bag Packing

I worked on packing the baby’s diaper bag today but I’m still missing a lot of stuff.  I referenced what should go in it on The Bump but some of the things are not needed until the baby is a little older.  A newborn doesn’t really need that much.  I also realized that buying a feminine/girly diaper bag is not the best idea since at times my husband may need it to take the baby out without me.  It’s too late now but I would suggest a gender neutral diaper bag to anyone shopping for one.  Joe says he’ll get his own but it might be a waste of money and resources to have two bags loaded up and ready to go at all times.

The diaper bag gets:

Diapers

Wipes

Changing Pad

Diaper Rash Cream

Hand Sanitizer

Extra Baby Clothes

Baby Blanket

Burp Cloth

Bottle With Milk (after breastfeeding is established and I’ve started pumping)

Pacifier (after breastfeeding is established)

Toy (once child is old enough for one)
