When you see a mom or a dad with their baby, not far away from them is their trusty diaper bag, full of all their newborn baby essentials and likely enough clothes for their little one in case they have an accident or three! But when it comes to what you really need in your diaper bag when you leave the house, let me share my top 13 baby items to make sure you pack in your diaper bag every time you leave the house. Pro-tip: make sure to restock your diaper bag with the baby items you used on your outing so that when it’s time to leave again, you’re not rushing to restock or even worse–forgetting to restock the last diaper you just used.
When picking out which diaper bag you want to use, there are so many styles to choose from: backpack, crossbody or tote. For me, backpack style diaper bags are just the easiest to wear, comfortable and keep you handsfree at all times. The Dagne Dover neoprene diaper backpack comes in 3 sizes, fits all the baby items needed and is super easy to clean.
This post is all about the 13 must have baby items every mom should carry in her diaper bag.
1. Diapers
Diapers are probably one of the most important baby items you will be stocking up first in your diaper bag. I always suggest packing 1 diaper per hour you will be away from home. We have been loving the Coterie! Their diapers have 12-hour leak protection, hold 70% more liquor and are 4x faster at absorbency for fewer leaks! And if you use my code CASSIE, you can get 20% off your first order or monthly subscription!
2. Wipes
These plant-based WaterWipes are the only baby wipes that I like to use and it’s probably one of our most used items every day.
3. Bottles
I always have at least one clean bottle stored in my diaper bag so I can make a quick bottle on the go. Most diaper bags have an insulated pouch within the diaper bag to keep a pre-made bottle cold or warm.
4. Formula
Instead of schlepping around a can of formula, use this formula dispenser that has 3 separate compartments to hold pre-measured formula. Making quick bottles on the go super easy.
5. Burp Cloth
For spit-ups or messes, always make sure to have a burp cloth or two on hand.
6. Sound Machine
This small, portable sound machine is amazing! We never leave home without it and makes for nap time on the go a little bit more manageable.
7. Snacks
For my toddler, there is never a time when she doesn’t want a snack. We don’t leave home without them!
8. Water Bottle
Stash a bottle of water to mix with formula for the bottle on the go!
9. Changing Pad
You never know where you will have to change a diaper, so it’s always nice to have a changing pad to be able to place on a questionable surface.
10. Change of Clothes
Blowouts happen, so make sure you always have a backout set of clothes or pair of pajamas just in case.
11. Diaper Cream
This is the only diaper cream I’ve ever needed to use, works fast!
12. Bum Brush
So you don’t make a mess, these bum brush diaper cream applicators are perfect! This one even comes in a case.
13. Diaper Bags
These disposable bags are great for when you have a dirty diaper, but no trash can.
