First, aim to have at least one diaper for every 1.5 hours you’re out of the house, plus at least three extra. Wipes are always nice to have on-hand and are great to wipe sticky hands and faces too. The Babyganics makes a 40-count wipes package that is compressed and perfect for travel. Another item to always keep on-hand is a changing pad. Most bags come with them already inside, however if you don’t the Summer Infant Portable Changing Pad is just $6 and will conveniently fit right into your diaper bag.
If you’re out in public and need to dispose of a dirty diaper, you’ll want to place it in a plastic bag first as a courtesy to everyone around you, so that it doesn’t stink up the trash can. If you’re bottle-feeding, don’t forget your bottles and your cups for older babies or toddlers. Plus, hand sanitizer is a must for you and the baby to keep you hands clear from germs and bacteria. Other great necessities to have on hand are a bib, pacifier, spare change of clothes, a hat, and of course snacks.
