The Adventures of Superwife

I struggled when I was a brand new mommy because I wanted to just bring my whole house with me every time I left to run an errand with Ellie… after a few weeks of packing and repacking, I had it down. This list worked perfectly for me whether I was taking Ellie with me to the store or dropping her off at Grandma’s for a few hours. All of this for a trip to the store may seem like overkill, but if you really feel overburdened just leave the bag in the car… you never know, however, when your superbaby will have a blowout or pitch a royal fit. :)

Here is what I recommend for a new mommy to keep in her diaper bag:

•  at least 6 diapers
• wipes
• changing pad
• baby powder
• a&d ointment
• diaper rash cream
• baby lotion
• hand sanitizer
• burp cloths
• rec’v blanket
• soft blankie
• pacifiers (a couple)
• toys or lovey
• med bag
• bottle
• formula/breast milk
• breast pads
• nipple cream
• extra change of clothes
• coat & hat
• baby food/bibs/spoon/puffs (4mos+)

What do you think, mommies? Would you add anything?
