We were very lucky that my BFF Janet's family bought us a Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Style diaper bag, which fits everything listed below.. It is AMAZING and I highly recommend it for it's convenience.
Diaper Bag List
(1) Diapers! Our diaper bag usually has 5-10 in it.
(2) Wipes. I like the Pampers 64 ct. travel wipes. I thought about getting a cute wipe container for a hot second, but then realized that they only held <20 and I would have to manually refill them. Uhh.. No.
(3) Babyganics Hand Sanitizer. I have both the wipes and the mini foam bottle in our diaper bag, but I prefer the wipes because they make my hands feel cleaner.
(4) Boogie Wipes. Lainey just started sucking her hands.. so, I like using these saline wipes to wipe them off when we're on the go.
(5) Itzy Ritzy Wet Bag. This thing is GREAT! I always keep a change of clothes and an extra bib in it "just in case". It works really well at containing wet and poopy clothes.
(6) Munchkin Disposable Changing Pads. These work really well at containing the messes associated with diaper changes. They're HUGE. As long as everything goes well with the diaper change, they're reusable!
(7) Munchkin Diaper Bag Dispenser. These are pretty large and have a decent scent to them, so I feel 100X less guilty about disposing diapers on the go.
(8) Burping Cloths. My cousins gifted us the CUTEST handmade burpies! I'll post a pic when I get the chance, but I love carrying these around!
(9) Jujube Bottle Bag. It's on the larger side as far as bottle bags go, but I like how it comfortably fits a larger (8 oz.) bottle and 2 Medela 5 oz. storage bottles.
(10) Similac Powder Sticks + Free Avent bottle. Lainey is exclusively fed breastmilk, but I had one instance where my Aunt took her out and I forgot to give her breastmilk. I felt SO HORRIBLE, so I bought these powder sticks to keep in her diaper bag "just in case" I ever forget or misjudge the amount of milk she needs. I gave her one bottle of it at home to make sure she didn't have a bad reaction to it and she didn't, so I now feel more comfortable that she'll never be hungry! (I used a Similac coupon and got these for $6.50, but Enfamil just sent me some free samples of their "to-go" packs.. so it's possible to snag these for free).
(11) Lassig Nursing Cover. I don't nurse Lainey anymore, but I keep this in her diaper bag just in case we're out and I don't have enough pumped milk for her. It's thin and doesn't take up much room in the diaper bag.
(12) Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads. Nothing is worse than a soaked shirt.. Especially in the early days, nursing pads are a must!
(13) Babyganics Stain Eraser. I prefer Dreft Stain remover.. So, if I could have a "do over" I would buy a mini squirt bottle and fill it with Dreft. That is most likely what I will do once this one runs out.
(14) Food Pouch. We're waiting until 6 months to introduce solids, but when that day comes I have a lot of food pouches for on the go! They don't need to be refrigerated, so they're perfect for diaper bags. You can either buy the attachable spoons, or a Boon Squirt Feeding Spoon for easy feeding on the go.
(15) Aquaphor. I keep a mini one in our diaper bag since Lainey has Eczema, but it's also a great diaper rash preventative.
(16) Neosporin Spray.
(17) Teething Ring + Pacifier. Lainey is teething, but doesn't really know what to do with the teething ring yet. I hold it for her and she kind of gnaws on it. Haha. The pacifier is my "happy baby" insurance.. She doesn't usually need one, but once in a while it is a must!
DONE!
Yes, everything fits into the diaper bag! Sometimes we leave the bottle bag out so that the diaper bag isn't bursting at the seams, but everything in here is what we "need" for a comfortable day trip out. Hope this helps! :)
