What's in your diaper bag? (Especially mom's of 2+)

Caroline03.09 · July 2011

It's been a while since I've carried around a diaper bag. LO1 is 2.5 and has been PT for a while, so I usually don't take anything for her anymore. Trying to decide if I need a full size diaper bag again or if I can get away with a large purse.

What's in your diaper bag? And if your a second time mom is your diaper bag smaller or larger than the first go round? Thanks in advance!

I have a 4.5 year old so there's not much I carry for her, but my diaper bag this time around is much bigger lol.

For DD 1- I keep snacks, juice box, some Littlest Pet shops, a book, and paper/pen (if she gets bored at restaurant/wherever else).

For DD 2- I try to be as prepared as possible:

- 4 diapers/pack of wipes

-Diaper rash cream/baby powder/lotion

-Two extra outfits/onesies/socks/Sun hate/Sunglasses/bibs

-Toys/books/teether/pacifiers

- I have a formula container that holds 3 bottles worth of formula, so I take three bottles with water already in them.

-Her manicure set/safety set

-Zantac/Tylenol/Gas drops/Gripe water

I think that's about it lol.

I have 3. The huge duffle sized road warrior for trips to Grandma's or day-long outings. The messenger bag I use when they're a little older that holds 2 bottles or cups in the outside pockets, and a small one that's good for this age. Have diapers, wipes, burp cloth, spare clothes, light blanket, and FF supplies in it. Paci in the carseat. Sometimes I just throw my wallet in the small diaper bag. It's plain black and the size of a small tote with a zipper. Very basic but functional.

DD1 is still not PT'd, so right now:

DD1's diapers

DD2's diapers (many more of these)

wipes in travel size container

change pad

nursing cover

burp cloth

my big water bottle

DD1's water bottle

snacks for DD1

diaper cream

bandaids, chapstick, wallet, brush, car keys, cell phone (stuff that'd normally go in my purse...not that I really remember what it was like to have a purse just for me, lol)

AND once D1 is PT'd, I will change out her diapers and substitute 18 changes of clothes, lol.

Diapers, wipes, wet bag, changing pad, 2 extra onsies, burp cloth, nursing cover, nursing pads, sample size diaper creme if we're using sposies, wallet, keys, sun hat (that I never put on her...), socks, phone, chewing gum...doesn't sound like much when I type it all out, how does it take up so much space? Oh, and an A&A swaddle blanket.

I use a LL Bean back pack for a diaper bag, and it works great for all day outings and works great for having both hands free, and keeps me balanced with LO in the front carrier....

Changing pad, that folds up and holds diapers, wipes and small bags for throwing away diapers (those are a life saver)

Bottles with water for each feeding, and formula containers with enough feedings for the day.

pacifier wipes. ( makes it great for cleaning bottle nipples too)

a pouch with qtips, tylenol, thermometer, sunscreen, vaseline, diaper rash cream, brush, extra formula scoop.

extra clothes, hat for the sun, light blanket.

all day outings...

bug net for stroller, or car seat.

bottled water

&&& of course all of my personal needs, wallet, keys, tampons, advil

this is my 1st child, and we are working on the 2nd so im not sure if ill carry more or less yet. GL

I have a big one I grab when I go somewhere with both kids. In that, I have wipes, diapers, bag for dirties, burp cloth, sippy cup and change of clothes for DD. With just the baby, I stick wipes,a diaper and a burp cloth in my purse and go. I definitely take less now than I did with DS.

I have a 2 yo and a 2 month old, so maybe I can help a bit

I have an Eddie Bauer weekender bag that I love, it has held up for over a year which is amazing since I am so rough on bags, plus it's big enough for everything I need!

in my bag:
2 changes of clothes (One for drew and one for Alynn)
A tank top for me
burp rag
6 size 1 diapers, 6 size diapers
wipes
changing pad
a bag of snacks
a rattle
probably 5 toy cars
2 books
an empty bottle
a can of formula
a water bottle
a binky
a sippy cup
sunblock

and then all of my stuff: Wallet, sunglasses, chap stick, cell phone, hand sanitizer, my water bottle, and glucose tablets. When I was ku I could put my insulin in the thermal pouches that bag has which is one of the main reasons we got it.

Also if we are going to the park, a base ball game or some other place where I will want to take her out of the car seat but not in the stroller I put my moby wrap in the bag as well!

We have twins, so ours are the same age. Not sure how helpful this will be, but here goes!

Approximately 10 diapers (I'm paranoid of running out), 4 bottles, 1 can of formula, 1 bottle of water, 4 toys, 4 changes of clothes, 2 bibs, 2 burp cloths, wipes, changing pad, bag for dirty clothes, and diaper rash cream.
