Re: pack my diaper bag!

  • I'm not a mom yet but as a nanny I always had a change of clothes, bibs, purell, band aids and neo to go, snacks, a bottle of water and my wallet. FWIW I haven't seen that bag in person but it looks kind of small from the picture before you rip the tags off make sure u can fit everything you'll need to carry

  • I have that bag and am able to fit everything Melanie listed plus my wallet, cell phone etc. I just have to remember to keep it clean and organized..
  • I have that bag too-except with the aqua and blue circular patterns. Besides from what has already been mentioned: sunblock, baby brush, baby nail clipper and coupons.  I also sometimes carry my make-up bag in one of the inner slots. With my make-up bag, wallet, cell phone and keys; I don't need to bother with a purse.

  • Currently in my diaper bag:

    Dipes, wipes, changing pad, hand sani,  Bib, Extra onsie or outfit (depending on where we are going), Tiny first aid kit, receiving blanket, diaper ointment, infant tylenol, sippie cup, a toy or two, puffs, Extra paci and paci wipes (these are a HUGE convenience and I have gone through so many packages with my LO).

    For me I have hand lotion, a pen, and tylenol.

    I have the same DB in a different color.  I LOVE it!

    ETA:  I have a clip-on baggie holder.  It almost looks like what you carry around to pick up dog poo.  I got it at target or something.  Anyway, they are good for masking the smell of dirty diapers or to hold wet clothes.  It just clips on the inside or outside.
