We can recommend it to everyone: enjoy and go on an adventure with your baby! And yes, it can sometimes be a challenge to leave the house. With this checklist we help you to leave the house organized and carefree. This way you can fully focus on the quality time with your little one(s), knowing that everything you need is within reach.
Obviously: diapers
Unless your baby is born potty trained, diapers are a must when you are out and about with your baby. Therefore, always make sure that there are -yes- diapers in your diaper bag! That way you will never be surprised.
Always practical: baby wipes
Also always standard in your diaper bag: a pack of baby wipes. And not just for the bottoms; but also for runny noses, dirty hands, or you name it!
Almost out? Put a new one in your bag right away. If you ever have to rush out the door, you'll be covered for the biggest baby stuff
Multifunctional: hydrophilic cloth
Muslin cloths are a must-have for every parent, even before the baby is born. They are multifunctional and therefore indispensable in your diaper bag. Handy for when some milk is returned, to clean something, to keep something warm or to cover something, etc.
Bottle and milk powder
If you are bottle feeding, don't forget to bring the bottle and the take-away container with powdered milk (the well-known milk tower). A thermos with hot water is also handy, so you are not dependent on where you are going. With our waterproof diaper bags you don't have to worry about a leaking bottle. Are you breastfeeding? Then of course none of that is necessary, but then that hydrophilic cloth will probably come in handy again! No more bottle? Then don't forget to bring a non-leak cup with water.
To eat
If your baby is six months or older, you may want to introduce some solid foods while you're on the go. Depending on how old your baby is and what time you're leaving the house, but check what you're bringing with you for food. Nobody wants a "hangry" baby.
Indispensable: pacifier
Especially with newborn babies there is still a sucking reflex, which makes a pacifier wonderful to take along. Can be kept in a storage box in the diaper bag, but can of course also be attached to a pacifier cord! In any case, don't forget it. More often than not a lifesaver.
Extra clothes
From spilled diapers to feeding messes, keeping an extra set of baby clothes in your diaper bag is a smart idea.
Cream or ointment
About that spray diaper... that can also cause red bottoms. Or diaper rash in general. You'd rather not have it, but it happens... Always nice to take some ointments and/or a cream with you that suits what your baby needs. And when the sun is shining, a tube of sunscreen is not an unnecessary luxury. Even if your baby is in the shade.
Entertainment on the go
A cuddly toy or your baby's favorite toy should not be missing in your diaper bag. And some extra toys such as crinkle books or rattles provide extra entertainment during your coffee date.
Don't forget yourself
No, not as a -physical- person, but also not with what you need on the road. Keys, wallet, phone etc. etc.
Last but not least
Our diaper bags are designed to help you get organized and carefree on your way. Our tip: always use the same compartment for what you need on the go. That way, you can see at a glance what's missing before you leave the house.
With this checklist you are ready for every adventure with your baby.
Enjoy!
