Walk the aisles of a baby store and you’ll likely find diaper bag options with a minimum of 15 pockets. (I’m not even sure that’s an exaggeration.) I’m the first to admit I didn’t know that much about babies before June arrived, but I just couldn’t wrap my head around supplying that many crevices for goldfish to get stuck in. As with so many things, I was reassured by my sister-in-law Marget, who opted for a Herschel backpack as a diaper bag when my nephew was born. We’ve done the same. Here’s what we’ve packed in it from birth to six months! — 1 package of wipes — Skip Hop changing pad — 2-3 diapers — nursing cover — a book — 1 extra onesie — small hand sanitizer — A&A muslin (this serves as a lovey and also a clean surface, if needed!) — a small toy — 2 cloths — 2 plastic grocery bags (for diapers, if we’re not near a trash can, or wet clothes) I imagine if you’re using bottles for each feeding that might complicate things a bit, and I know we’ll have to add or switch out a few items as June gets older. But for right now, this set-up is perfect! And as I’ve mentioned before, the Herschel packs have the bonus of being gender neutral. If you’re the mama type, I’d love to hear what you use for a diaper bag! Or can we call it an “on-the-go bag”? Sounds so much nicer than a diaper bag :) P.S. Six week favorites and five month favorites. Seven month favorites coming soon!
