How can you use a dapper designer diaper bag? Posted on 6 Jun 22:51

There's nothing that can truly save the day like a designer diaper bag that's well-stocked. However, it can be difficult to determine what you actually need. This is something that depends on exactly how old your child is, as well as how long you'll be gone, where you're going, and how prepared you are.

Here are some of the most basic essentials that you should consider packing in one of these bags.

Diapers
Generally, you will want to pack one diaper for each hour that you'll be out, as well as a few extra just to be on the safe side.

Baby Wipes
If you won't be gone for very long, you will be able to get away with putting around ten of these in a baggie. These are great for both diaper changes and wiping off dirty hands and sticky surfaces. Oh and there are some great alternatives to ziplock bags, check them out here

Hand Sanitizer
This is an important tool for when you don't have the time to wash or clean your hands, especially after changing a baby's diaper.

Changing Pad
There are some diaper bags that come with a reusable changing pad, unless you prefer to purchase a separate one. 


Plastic/Biodegradable Bags
These are perfect for storing objects such as soiled clothes, baby blankets, and diapers. It's important to ensure that your child can't get to them since bags like these pose a risk of suffocation.

Bottles of Formula/Breast Milk

Snacks
These are generally for older babies and toddlers. Depending on the child's age, this typically includes baby food and a spoon or finger foods. Don't forget to include bibs as well.

Sippy Cup of Juice, Milk, or Water

Sippy cups seem like such an easy purchase right? Not so. Some sippy cups can be unsafe as mentioned here. Not to go off on a different tangient, but hey we're here to look out for you and not just show off our dapperbag :)
