Picking the right diaper bags and getting all the essential accessories can be daunting for new parents. Some items are absolute necessities and others simply make outings easier to manage. Keeping a bag packed and ready to go will help when you want to plan something spontaneous. You don’t want to spend so much time organizing that the baby is fussy by the time you’ve got it all together.
What does one actually need for a well-packed diaper bag?
- Changing pad
- Burp Cloth
- Pacifiers, if you use them and a Pacifier Clip
- An extra bottle of milk/formula, with extra nipples
- A Quick Change or Diaper Clutch- a convenient bag for extra diapers and baby wipes
- Wet Bag - to store wet clothing or dirty diapers safely in your bag
- Snack bag with snacks for your toddler
- Travel blanket
- Bib
- Baby’s favorite toy or book
- Suntan lotion for sunny days
Many of the diaper bags here at Little Butterfly Kiss come with basic matching accessories to give you a jump-start for your first diaper bag. I was looking at the Mia Backpack Diaper Bag by Caden L
ane, its tailored look is perfect for dads as well as moms. Whether a stay-at-home dad or sharing in routine child care, men deserve to have a bag they feel comfortable with.
You might consider giving an expectant dad a diaper bag for Father’s Day. Whatever the situation, he’ll probably feel much more comfortable with a bag like the Mia, modeled after traditional Backpacks and in a soft chocolate brown with discreet pink piping. The boy’s version- the Marshall Backpack Diaper Bag substitutes pale blue piping.
The Mia bag comes with a bottle insulator, a changing pad and a clip for the pacifier. With its zippered sections and multiple pockets there is room to safely secure a cell phone, keys, wallet and all the baby extras you’ll be carrying. Of course diaper bags can be purchased in a variety of shapes and sizes; backpacks, hobo bags, totes and purses styles. We carry a full line of bags in fun colors and designs as well as many accessories pieces, in matching fabrics. You and baby will be in the height of fashion.
