Comments on: How to Pack a Baby Day Bag

on 8/20/2007 Yeah, it's best to overpack and bring things that would likely be needed by your babies.

Their prescribed medicines and emergency medications is a wise option.

Baby Toy Town.com is a great resource for baby diaper bags and various baby care accessories. Visit at: http://www.babytoytown.com for more details.

on 8/8/2006 Double check the age listed on the package -- some brands cannot be used on children under a certain age (usually 6 months). You should always carry sunscreen for yourself and older children, too.

on 6/30/2006 I'd recommend not using film canisters for storing food. It isn't food grade plastic.

on 11/22/2005 Freeze wet washcloths in ziploc bags. Pack in a small insulated bag with ice. When you return to your hot car, use the cloths to cool down any hot metal or plastic spots on the car seat and to cool your child's face and hands. Refresh with remaining ice.

on 11/22/2005 I put the diapers, wipes, cream, small change pad and plastic bags in a separate fabric bag inside the diaper bag so I have everything together and easily accessible instead of fumbling about trying to grab everything needed.

on 11/22/2005 Use the plastic containers that 35mm film comes in to fill with formula for traveling. Each one will contain enough formula to make a 4oz bottle. They also fill perfectly in the mouth of the baby bottle. Just run them thru the dishwasher first to clean.

on 11/22/2005 Instead of having to bring along chilled bottles of formula, bring bottles of water and powdered formula separate. A small sealable container works great, especially one that will accommodate a measuring scoop.
