Pack a Diaper Bag

Need some tips on what to pack in your baby's diaper bag? Here are some quick tips on what to pack in a baby diaper bag.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Your time

Step 1

DIAPER BAG The first thing you need to do is pick a diaper bag or two. I have a small diaper bag ready for quick trips and a large diaper bag for longer trips prepared and ready to go at all times. You never know when you have to pick up and go on a moments notice.
Step 2

DIAPERS For short trips, have 2 - 4 diapers packed. For an all day trip have 4 - 8 diapers packed. Rule of thumb, you will want at least one diaper for every two hours that you plan to be out.
Step 3

WIPES, LOTION AND DIAPER CREAM Carry a travel wipe case, travel size bottle of baby lotion, and diaper rash cream.
Step 4

BABY BLANKET AND AN EXTRA OUTFIT You never know when your little one will spit up or have a little accident. Always carry an extra shirt and pair of pants in your diaper bag.
Step 5

BURP CLOTH, PACIFIER, BIB, DIAPER CHANGING PAD, AND WET BAG Pack other needs such as a burp cloth, pacifier, bib, and any other items that your baby will need.
Step 6

BOTTLES AND FORMULA Depending on the kind of formula you use, this is something that you may want to wait to pack until right before you leave.
Step 7

BABY FOOD AND SPOONS If your baby is already eating baby food, put a few jars along with some spoons in your diaper bag. If your little one is eating finger foods, be sure to pack some finger foods for baby.
Step 8

TOYS, TEETHING RINGS, AND BABY BOOKS It's always great to pack some small baby toys, teething rings, and durable baby books to keep your little one entertained.
Step 9

DISPOSABLE CAMERA You never know when you are going to catch a Kodak moment. Keep a disposable camera in your diaper bag.
