"Hi, my name is Windy St. George and this is how to pack a diaper bag. It's good to have a portable changing pad like this, that you can take with you for using on changing tables or on the floor if you have to. As for diapers, you should bring one for, about every two hours that you're out, plus maybe one or two extra for emergencies. I like to keep rubber gloves in my bag in case there is a extra messy poop splurge in that you have to take care. For that, you should also bring extra bags to put their soiled clothes in. You can also put the smelly diaper in a ziploc bag. It's nicer to leave it in an establishment when it's in the bag. Also, keep diaper cream if your baby is currently having a rash, whichever brand you like, the zinc kind or A & D. Get diaper wipes and jut put them in a ziploc bag. It's much lighter and easier to carry. Make sure that you pack enough for the whole day that you're going to be out. About ten. Snacks if your child is old enough for snacks. Some toys to keep them occupied in the car and at your destination. Bottle, if your baby is on formula, I find it useful to put the formula already measured into the bottle and then keep the dry powder in the bottle and then mix it with bottled water, when I need it. Suntan lotion is good to have in your bag if it's sunny out. Even when it's not sunny out, it's best to keep the suntan lotion on key in there, and pacifier if your baby takes a pacifier. There's nothing worse than being stuck outside with a crying baby and no pacifier."
