The Ultimate Diaper Bag Checklist – Baby Bag Essentials

October 3, 2022

Mommies, behold your new best friend. One you’ll want by your side no matter if you’re hitting the road with your baby or just making a quick run to the grocery store. Seriously, this bestie comes with no drama and makes your life so much easier. Of course, we’re talking about your own customized diaper bags for moms! With baby diaper bags by your side, you are prepared for whatever life throws your way. Hunger pangs? Poopy diapers? Incomprehensible baby toe gestures? Probably not the last one, but a diaper bag has you covered with everything else! In this blog, we’re teaching you how to build your own, customized baby diaper bags to manage all SOS emergencies with ease. Make sure to check these essentials off your list for a seamless mommy experience: Diapers – Of course, we’re starting off with the most important thing on this list. You absolutely cannot forget to bring diapers with you. Without diapers your diaper bag is like a pizza without toppings. Depending on the frequency with which your baby poops, carry around extra diapers for emergency situations. Get Snuggy, the best diapers for newborns that tell you when a diaper change is needed. 

  • Portable Changing Pad – Imagine that your baby has pooped in their diaper. The poop stink is wafting through the air. You need to change their diaper ASAP but a washroom is nowhere to be found. In such situations, a changing mat comes in handy. Spread the changing pad or mat on a flat surface. Put your baby on top and change their diaper. Discard this mat later.
  • Baby Wipes – Baby wipes come in handy during messy diaper changes. You should also wipe down the diaper area after a diaper change to free the skin of sweat, bacteria and rashes causing germs.
  • Baby Cream and Baby Powder – Apply baby cream after wiping down the diaper area. Baby cream is an emulsion of water and oil. It is used to protect a baby’s tender and sensitive skin from irritation, rashes, and to keep the skin moisturized. You can also protect your baby’s sensitive skin from nasty diaper rashes. You can also use baby powder to protect your little one’s skin. Baby powder prevents rashes and also helps reduce friction caused by a diaper rubbing against the skin.
  • Trash Bags – A few weeks into being a new parent, you will find that your baby poops at the most inconvenient of times; while taking a bath, a fresh diaper change, while you’re eating at a restaurant. You will check all of these boxes pretty soon. It’s alright when you’re home, but you might not be lucky enough to have a dustbin nearby when you’re out. So, what do you do then? Carry around a few trash bags to dump the soiled diaper into for the time being.
  • Pacifiers – Trust us, you don’t want to forget these at home. Pacifiers help soothe your baby when they’re hysterical and nothing else seems to be working, especially in those early few months when parents are still learning baby lingo. These might work when your little one is either not hungry or too full to eat but still needs the comfort that sucking provides.

These are all the basics you need for crisis management. You can customize your baby diaper bag to include other things you might need during emergencies. Happy parenting! 🙂
