What's in A Diaper Bag...







This week's Toddle Along Tues(Wednes)day topic is What's in your diaper bag?

My disclaimer?  This doesn't include all of the new things I now carry around for tube feeding.  I wasn't really ready to think about that yet.

The bag: Skip Hop Duo - I love it!  I've had many, many diaper bags (like most moms) and this is the one I always return to.  Later iterations of this bag have replaced one of the mesh pockets with a cell phone holder - I'm super glad I have this version, because I like to stuff bottles and sippies in there!


The Contents: We travel pretty light.  Feeding tube accessories are a suitcase all their own, so I try to keep it to the essentials here.

- Wipes (We like Huggies, but Pampers Thick Care will work if they're on sale)
- 3 Diapers (Pampers Baby Dry, Size 3)
- 3 Bottles (Tommee Tippee, pre-filled with water and a container of Neocate Jr. formula)
- 2 Epi Pens (you never know!)
- Mommy's inhaler
- Baby Tylenol (generic.  Tylenalmost?)
- Toy Bag (containing board book/flip cards, rattles, C-3PO, and a "don't touch my baby" tag)
 
These have been our go-to items for months now.  Aidan normally carries around his pacifier (usually a Wubbanub) and his blanky (Aden & Anais Issie), so I have no need to pack a spare.  I just toss my wallet into the bag and off we go!

Conspicuously missing?  A change (or ten) of clothes, which will now be standard fare since we're the owners of a very leaky feeding tube!

    1. It really is. I keep trying to replace it with something cuter, but nothing has measured up yet.

    1. Deciding what to put in your diaper bag is an art form, really.

  4. I love how your diaper bag has purse straps plus the messenger strap. That is what my duo model is missing!
