In reply to Dallas. That's smart!! Sometimes the car seat just isn't enough to make them sleep!! Thanks, Dallas!

Great list! I packed my bag before we came home from the hospital and it was super nice having everything ready. Luckily I thought of all these things!
One other thing I always include is a swaddle blanket so I can bundle him up if we need to have a nap while we are away from home. This has saved me already in just our seven weeks.

In reply to louise. I use disposable diapers, and I always will. And I definitely don't make my own wipes. I think it's unnecessary and a waste, personally. But if you want to then go for it. I never have any problems with store-bought wipes, diapers, and cream.

Have you used reusable diapers and what is your experience with the wet wipes etc, i read a site recently and i have been traumatised into thinking i need to make my own wipes, only consider reusable diapers and should produce my own balm. first baby and all, what was your experience with nappy rashes etc using these main stream products.

In reply to Jacqui. That's a good idea to keep a lot of that stuff in your car! Especially things that might be bigger like a shirt for you! Thanks for sharing!

a few more things I have in my bag…
A plastic bag (to store soiled outfits or diapers if you’re not in a place that has baby friendly trash cans – like a friend’s apartment!)
A water bottle for mom (BFing makes me so thirsty!)
A spare shirt for mom (if the worst thing happens – blowout diaper gets on you! Or crazy spitup hits you)
Honestly I keep most of the “diaper bag stuff” in my car, and just carry diapers, wipes, and a plastic bag in my actual diaper bag.

Thank so much for this post! I’m due any day with my first baby and having this list will help me be as well-prepared as possible for our first outings.

Right? Babies need so much stuff! It helps a lot to have a list to go off of 🙂

I love this! I wish I would have had it with my little guy. It was so hard to remember all I needed to put in there!
