I'm a first time mommy and I have no idea what to put in my diaper bag! Please help!

There are some great lists on Pinterest, but here's two things I will do differently this time:

1) didn't bring enough diapers/wipes. Yes, our birthing center offered some but in the middle of the night we wished we'd just packed more.

2) the outfit I packed to bring him home in was nb size and ended up being huge. This time I packed two different ones.

Diapers, wipes, diaper creams, lotions, powders, pacifiers, formula or breast milk, burp cloth, an extra outfit, pads for you if you're venturing out before you're healed completely (And always put some pads/tampons in (After your doctor gives you the okay for tampons) because it can be a while until you're back to being "regular")

A couple more things I do, I always have some money in an outer pocket, because you never know when you're going to need it. Tylenol for me, and a hair tie or two.

It'll take a while for you to get in your swing of things, heck, it'll take a while for me, even being a STM, there's going to be things I forget.

For the hospital: Swaddling Blanket, Pacifier, Burp Cloths, Hospital Outfit (for visitors) and Coming Home Outfit (2 Sizes) and hat. I also included a travel pack of wipes as my hospital only uses dry ones and a travel nursing pillow.

Everyday Use: Diapers/Wipes, Swaddling Blanket, Extra Outfit + Wet Bag, 1 Bottle + Travel Pack of Supplementing Formula (in case it's not easy to whip out the boob), Bottled Water, Pacifier, Burp Cloths and the Few Things I would Keep for Myself (wallet, Chapstick, etc)

You learn as you go, my biggest tip is to keep a kit in the car. I can't tell you how many times I forgot the diaper bag in a rush or ran out of diapers because we were out longer than planned.

After you leave the hospital you'll need a bag for you and baby if you go anywhere in the first 6 weeks. I also kept baby wash with my second he had reflux really bad so he got washed up alot.

Lots of diapers and wipes. Diaper cream, shampoo and soap and baby lotion. Formula if you are using it. Outfits and sleepers (i reccomend a couple in case of blowouts or something not fitting). Blanket/swaddlers. Burp cloths.

Ask your hospital what they provide and than pack. All we need is coming home outfit and blanket. Our hospital provides everything else.

If you are asking what you should bring in your diaper bag for the hospital I would say nothing. Your hospital will provide you with everything you need. Please don't bring lotion diaper cream soap,etc. You'll find it to be a total waste.
