I love to give the gift of experience to a new mom. How so? I give them their own “Veteran Mom” diaper bag. I usually make one for them, that is unique and will suit their taste. I try to always put their name on the outside. Then, I pack it like I would pack my own. The following is the list of things that MUST go into a diaper bag (in my humble, yet experienced opinion).
Diapers (I know, duh! I am being thorough)
Wipes Boudreaux’s Butt Paste (it’s the BEST)Hand sanitizer
Tide To Go
In a small Ziplock:
Baby Tylenol
Baby Orajel
Mama Motrin

Pacifiers
Tissues
1 Toy
1 Theether
1 empty Ziplock for dirty/wet clothes
1 change of clothes
1 pair of socks
