Re: Diaper bags
Diapers
Wipes
Rash cream
Blankets
Small emergency kit
Bottles
Formula
Extra clothes
I think that's it. But I can't remember, I'm having pregnancy brain right now.

Extra clothes
Diapers
Wipes
Diaper cloths that we use as burp rags
A light muslin blanket
Hand sanitizer
And since I BF a nursing cover
I also just use it as my purse so I toss my wallet in there.
If LO took a pacifier I'd toss in an extra or two and if we FF I'd put some bottles and formula.
Once he's a bit older we'll add a bib and silverware along with some snacks and toys/crayons/stickers/books (whatever will entertain him at the time).

Speaking of, how did you decide which diapers to use? I'm afraid of stocking up in case he gets a consistent rash from a certain brand.

Another good thing to get is doggy poop bags for times when you have to change a diaper and there's no where to throw out the dirty diaper. We also like using them when we go to other people's houses so we aren't just throwing dirty diapers in their trash.

I forgot about these! We got the Arm & Hammer bags at the shower, and I love that the dispenser has a little clip that'll attach to the inside of our diaper bag.

I started with pampers because that is what the hospital had and people got us. I didn't like them especially because they have a funky smell. I switched to Huggies and lovedthem. I wwas able to return all our extra diapers to Walmart with no receipt and got a Walmart card with money on it that we used to purchase our diapers for months. Once out of the newborn stage we started using luvs because they are cheaper but we went back to Huggies as soon as she started moving around because the luvs would leak all the time.

I'm only going to include the stuff that hasn't been listed....
We also have disposable changing pads, because the fold up ones aren't always big enough, especially once baby gets bigger. Those changing stations in restaurants, stores, etc are NASTY. The disposable changing pads I can just toss in the trash when I'm done.
Paci wipes.
Something that you don't necessarily need to have in your bag, but you should probably have in your car at least.... an extra shirt for YOU. It hasn't happened to me yet, but it happened to someone on GPM (can't remember who), but baby had a blowout while being worn. Poop all over her shirt.
A dryel pen for any stains.

I also keep a few extra diapers and wipes in my car so if I run out or forget to restock my diaper bag I have them.
