New mothers, meet your helpful new best friend. This one is willing to carry all the solutions to your problems with you- the handy mommy bag. You will seriously end up wanting it with you at all times. Even if you go out with your baby, we’re guessing you’ll return back to get this bag.
It’s your diaper bag, of course. You can consider it as a security blanket for parents, or a mommy bag to prepare you for any situation life throws at you. A well- packed bag filled for situations like impromptu freak outs, to sudden pangs to soiled diapers and a cranky baby. So, without further ado,
here’s the practical checklist to fill your tote bag with necessary items.
1. Diapers
Pack 1 diaper for every 2 hours you’re out, and a few to spare, just in case.
2. Wipes
Keep in a clean, re- sealable pouch so you can keep them moist at all times. These wipes serve as the multi- tasker of the group and are versatile. They can be used to wipe the baby’s bum, the table in case something spilled or to wipe your hands or anything else that needs it.
3. Baby cream
Baby cream is necessary to prevent the baby from getting diaper rashes. Save the space with travel sized creams and ointments.
4. Re- sealable packs
This is ideal to store dirty diapers and baby dress, in case you don’t have a proper disposal system near you (dispose of them if they contain soiled diapers, bring them home if they contain infant dress). These are also necessary for used pacifiers and nipples.
5. Pacifiers
If you use them, keep them in a separate clean bag along with extra bottle nipples to keep it all sanitary.
6. Washcloths
These are handy to clean their burps, vomit and anything you need. Toss in some extras if you think you’ll need it to wipe small baby dresses.
7. Hand sanitizer
To keep everything sanitized for the baby because you don’t know who has touched what you are touching now.
8. Baby food
Figure out how many feedings you’ll need during the time you’re out- including infant formula and bottles, pumped breast milk or baby food and pack accordingly. You’ll also need to include some water for the infants as well.
9. Change of clothes
Spit- ups happen and you’ll need to have a couple of pairs of dress for babies to ensure the babies stay clean at all times.
10. Cap
Whether it’s the summer or winter season, it’s better to be prepared with an appropriate cap to keep your baby warm or cool at appropriate times.
11. Sunscreen
For babies older than 6 months, sunscreen is a necessity when you’re out in the sun. For babies younger than 6 months, protect them with a hat or blanket.
12. Blanket
This is a necessity, no matter what season it is where you’re living. Impromptu breezes, chilliness in the environment, or cold restaurants and cafes, it is necessary to keep the babies warm. They can also be used to shield the babies from the sun.
13. Toys
Anything to keep the babies entertained for some time- such as teethers, board books, rattle, moving toys etc. and store them in the bag.
14. Light snacks
The light snacks that won’t ruin appetites, is necessary for the older kids because they are growing kids that need food almost every 5 minutes.
15. Band- aids
Because when there are kids around, they’re bound to get hurt at some point. The band aids help keep it in check. Do one better and buy it in cute patterns and prints to keep the kids from crying.
