Gtky: what's in your diaper bag?

deedee1017 · October 2014

Every time I leave the house, I feel like I'm packing for a mini vacation. It got me wondering if everyone else does this too. So, what's in your diaper bag?

A gun.

KIDDING.

bkeane619 · October 2014

Diapers, wipes, changing pad, vaseline, bib, books, a couple of cars for O, a bag of those plastic table placemat things. Edit: and a spare pair of clothes in case of blow out

they are deft one of the best inventions ever. People stop and ask about them when we are out to eat all the time.

One diaper, a hat, a jacket, homemade hand sanitizer and sleepy time oil, some change, a bunch of receipts, my wallet, teething tablets. I think that's it. I need to organize that mofo.

muffyvonmuff · October 2014

Theres always the usual in there, 2 diapers/wipes, toys, travel snack thing frilled with puffs/cheerios and baby cheetos. Before I leave I grab my wallet from my purse and throw it in there along with whatever Im feeding DS on the go so usually a string cheese, a mini ziplock of something like cooked sausage/chicken strips/veggies, a puree pouch and his sippy cup.

1littlebird · October 2014

that's pretty clever!

tashad18 · October 2014

Too much stuff and I can't imagine when the new baby comes. Taking recommendations for big diaper bags.

MangoMama82 · October 2014

Honestly, my diaper bag doesn't see much action. But here's what's in it: changing pad, butt balm, wipes, diapers, extra onesie, A+A muslin blanket, extra baby socks, sunblock, baby hand sanitizer, a book, puffs, and those above mentioned placemat things. But he's figured out how to peel them off the table, so they don't do us much good!

lefnc82 · October 2014

Just the usual in mine: diapers, wipes, a extra onesie, extra pair of socks, diaper cream, sippy cup (I try to make sure I put water in it before leaving the house), lots of toys, a few cheap baby spoons, the sticky disposable placemats, puffs, a teether, a changing pad (just the little thin piece that came with the diaper bag)... I think that is it, I just cleaned it out this weekend b/c I couldn't even find anything in it anymore!

cassey910 · October 2014

Diapers, wipes, aquaphor, extra clothes, socks, bibs, a whole bag of toys, sanitizer, hand and face wipes, sanitizer wipes, keys, checkbook, carters coupons, pens, wallet, some kind of snack for me and DS, water, napkins. I think that's it...

For 3 kids: In a toddler backpack

Diapers 2 diapers per kid. More are put in if I plan on being out all day. (one is special needs and poops his pants still)

a small pack of wipes
a spare pair of pants and undies for an older child (potty trained, but accidents happen, all 3 boys fit the same size of cloth pants)
body suit for #5
spare bottom for #4
a small little toy or two for #5
small note pad with a pen or colored pencil
my wallet (really)
few pairs of socks
pack of crackers or two. Maybe suckers.
2 plastic bags
a small bottle of water
few pair of socks

The sippy cup is carried by a child. I always have a pack of water and granola bars in my van. I also always have emergency diapers in the car. Force of habit. There have been times I have suddenly been caught out all day or stranded once for several hours. In cooler weather there are also car blankets in the van already and there are always a few baby blankets so...

When #6 comes I will add 3 diapers for the baby, burp rag, and a body suit. Should still fit. I breast feed, so no need to have a bottle or formula.

Also another blanket will be put in the car and some burp rags.

deedee1017 · October 2014

Omg! @AlwaysForgetful how do you do it???

jennlin · October 2014

on an average day, there are 2-3 diapers, wet bag, coconut oil, wipes, outfit for the boy, pants and undies for the girl, and hand sanitizer.

@deedee1017 What do you mean? Packing it all in? Honestly, I am not a purse person. #1 came home on a heart/apnea monitor. They have a small pocket int he front. I learned to roll my diapers and clothes just right so I could fit what I needed into that bad. I didn't want to have to carry any more than #1 in an infant carrier (proved to be easier to have him in one with all the wires) and the monitor that he wore 24/7 the first year and when he was sleeping or in the car for 6 months after that.

Part of it is knowing what to pack. Like for the pants, cloth pants roll up smaller than jeans. Body suits roll up small as well. So I use those as spares. Diapers can roll up really compact as well! And it only takes a second. Wipes compact down well if put into a plastic zip lock bag. I prefer the sliding closure ones. Toys for the 1 year old don't need to be large. Honestly, we are talking maybe fake keys, a car or two, a few of the duplo blocks... The water bottle is that small sized one. Not a full sized.

And I need to make sure it is light enough for the almost 3 year old to carry. Which it is! She gets mad if she isn't the one to carry it. Works for me. I use to have one of the boys be in charge of it.

catycate · October 2014

For my 3 yr old and 1 yr old- wipes, dipes, snacks, water. I keep a change of clothes for both in the car.for the poster asking about when number 2- backpack. I tried to be all cute with a handmade etsy one and just gave up and now use my high school backpack- it's perfect- big, lots of pockets and I'm not slinging it over my shoulder all the time.

alimama33 · October 2014

I am so bad at the diaper bag. Always forgetting something. We always have: couple of diapers, wipes, wet bag, and spare outfit....and I usually throw in a pacifier, hand sanitizer, snacks...a toy?
I have a small pocket for myself where I keep money, Chapstick and tampons.
