Diaper Bage Check list for the new mom

Ok So as a seasoned mom I Joined a baby birth due group and became an Admin... anyways So may questions popped up such as what Do I need in the diaper bad... So I made a list afer some research and looking at may lists put out there
So don't feel the pressure if you don't want or need it. It will have a mix of needs for baby and you as mom!
(I personally as a vet mom use a large handbag/purse with basics, wont lie it gets dis organized and quick!)

  • First off your Dipper Bag! get one that will fit your needs. and many of them come with a changing pad of some sort.
  • Diapers- one for every two hours and a few extra ( I personally 8-10)
  • Diaper wipes (these also work as hand wipes for mommy)
  • Changing pad ( this is possably something that came with your diaper bag)
  • Diaper cream/ointment
  • Plastic bags or wet bag for dirty clothes and diapers (optional)
  • 1-2 changes of clothes (blow outs happen!)
  • Shirt for mommy (spit up happens)
  • Blanket (optional)
  • Hat for sun or cold (id just put it on the baby)
  • Bottles and formula (for a lighter load, measure powdered formula into clean bottles or a formula carrier and mix with water at the destination, or pack bottled water)
  • Burp cloths and bibs (couple cloths)
  • Teething gel/Tablets or rings (i dont bother till they are teething)
  • Pacifiers (pack with nipples in a clean bag or some come with fitted covers)
  • fever and pain reducer, antihistamine ( more for you at this point)
  • Emergency phone numbers and information
  • Nursing Cover (breast feeding and optional on your comfort)
  • Nursing pads and Menstrual pads.

***I do this and leave it in my car during warm seasons
Keep another small bag with the very barest necessities — diapers, wipes, and burp cloths, change of clothes as well as pacifiers and bottle and formula ( they have easy packets now use a far out date) if you use them — to grab and go for a quick, unexpected trip or you forget the diaper bag at home.
