Just in time for the Thanksgiving holidays, I’ve put together my list of true diaper bag essentials. Not only will I share my hard-earned packing wisdom, we’ll GIVEAWAY one Let’s Go Strolling created diaper bag essentials kit (featuring items from this 3-part series). Just sign up for our mailing list by clicking here and leave a comment that you signed up and you’ll automatically be entered. We’ll pick the winner the weekend after Thanksgiving day!
I’m not only a co-owner of Let’s Go Strolling, but also a Mom to three – baby, 3 year old and 6 year old. This means I have many years of packing a diaper bag under my belt and while I wouldn’t say I’m an expert, for the most part I have whatever I need with me when I am out and about with my little ones.
Here’s my current list of diaper bag essentials:
1) Diaper & Wipes Holder – I love the Diapees &Wipees holder and the JuJuBe BeQuick. Both are fun, colorful and easy to find in my diaper bag. I know some people like the Skip Hop Pronto
2) Burp Clothes - Not only is this great for baby drool, it also wipes down wet park benches, dries tears, and serves as a changing pad in a pinch.
3) Wipes – I know this is a duh, but haven’t you ever been caught with a wipes case with no wipes. Not pretty! So I thought it was worth a mention. 
Also worth checking out is the new Skip Hop Swipes Case which makes getting to wipes a one-handed affair. We’re in love!
4) A spare outfit – I had BabySpareWare when my daughter was younger – which I loved. Now I just use a Generation Baby Handy Sak to hold a clean outfit. It’s great because when I do need to make a change on the go – it keeps the dirty outfit in a leak-proof bag separate from everything else. It’s also great for holding baby food or snacks separate so they are easy to find and don’t migrate all around your diaper bag.
Keep reading our blog over the next few days to continue with part 2 and 3 and remember to sign up for our mailing list now and comment on this blog to enter our fabulous “packed and ready to go” diaper bag stuffing giveaway!
I’m signed up and hope to win! Good luck everyone!
I’m signed up and feeling lucky
BTW, love this series, as the mom of 5 and a bfing mom, the “essentials” are little but the “niceties” are many. As I go through time and par down my packing I forget what some of the “niceties” are though and this is a great reminder. Will definitely help me pack. Loving that wipes holder, you used to be able to get them with Huggies, etc but now they are so hard to find, gotta get me one.
Happy Thanksgiving
Thanks for all the great ideas!
