What do YOU pack in a diaper bag?

Question

Rather you're breastfeeding/formula feeding. What do you pack in your diaper bag? What are some good tips to keep organized?? I'm due in the next two weeks and I plan to breastfeed. Should I carry two bags for breastfeeding& regular diaper bag? How do y'all do it?

Answer

It's hard to say-- you learn trial and error what to bring/leave based on experience. For me, diaper bag has hand sanitizer, changing pad, wipes and diapers. Change of clothes. 2 burp cloths and 2 small, thin blankets. If you're breast feeding you don't need supplies other than an optional cover but I used the two shirt method to avoid that. If I was leaving the house without baby though and knew I needed to pump I had a separate bag. It was a bag with a built in models pump, also had ice packs and storage space to save milk after pumping so it didn't go bad. But if baby was with me I never needed that because I only pump when baby isn't around

Answer

You really don't need anything for breastfeeding except a cover, so that's easy. I have a Milk Snob cover that I'm obsessed with - - it also works as an infant seat cover. Then I have our changing station (unfolds to a changing pad, has a pouch for diapers & wipes), a swaddle (for shade), some baby toys now that my baby is old enough for toys, a couple extra onesies, some warm things (baby hoodie/pants/socks/hat). Those are the main things just for day to day use.

Answer

Bottles, formula, water, 4 diapers, wipes, diaper rash cream, and a change of clothes in case of a blow out
