Diaper Bag Confusion :? Posted: 06-01-06 12:18pm
This may be common sense for a lot of you
but it isn't for me. I'm taking the blue
m&m for his first doctor's appt today
and i'm not really sure what I should pack
in his diaper bag. I mean what kind of
stuff should I put in it. I know his
bottles, wipies, diapers, a change of
clothes and the changing pad. But what
else do I need if anything? I mean it's
this big bag cuz everyone says i'll need
it that big but I can't imagine what else
I would have to put in it.... Any help
here would be appreciated.... I'm so
confused :?

I always have a bag of stuff ready to
go.
6 diapers
wipes
ready to go formula (if you're not
breastfeeding)
bottles (same as above)
change of clothes
extra shirt for mama
a small plastic changing mat
several small plastic bags (i.E. Sealable
storage or grocery) for soiled diapers
diaper-rash ointment
2 bibs
a spare pacifier if your baby uses one
as they get older the list changes.
Happy outing!

I bring the same as what's on blaze's
list!! I actually went to walgreens and
bought a cute, nice sized bag that would
hold not only the baby's but my stuff.
Like my wallet and other stuff. It's a
mother trying to juggle a car seat, a baby
bag and your own bag!!
The bag is soooo cute...It's got big green
and pink pok-a-dots on it!! God i'm
fashionable!!!

I always threw everything in the diaper
bag! I was always over prepared and ended
up toting around a huge bag of stuff I
never used. ;) that was baby #1. With
baby #2, I got a smaller bag - much
smaller - and only carried diaper changing
things, as well as one outfit. I was
breastfeeding, so I didn't need to rest.
A lot easier with less stuff, considering
the car seat, the baby and blankets,
etc.
Take whatever you think you might need in
the time it will take at the doctor's
office. And good luck at the checkup! ;)

Don't forget the mylicon drops!!!!!!
And when you give him them, turn your
pinky "prints up" and rub it on his
pallet..It will stimulate him to suck it
down!!
