Diaper Bag Checklist & Essentials

What’s In My Diaper Bag | Only The Essentials

These are the diaper bag essentials I had inside of my bag, ones that felt necessary for the newborn to 6 month phase. Since he’s turning six months next week, I can comfortably say, having these things made momma life a lot easier.

He is beginning his journey to eating solids so his bag will be under construction for this next phase and I’ll be sure to share as we go 🙂 If you need a packing guide for travel or products for breastfeeding I was able to share the life-saving products that worked for me.

1. Baby Safe Hand Sanitizer (Spray Sanitizer Is Easiest For Me)

2. Wet Ones Wipes

3. Diapers (I personally do not like how the pamper brand diapers smell, for me it’s questioning.) I would take 6-10 diapers during outings because my baby cried at every tinkle lol.

Millie Moon Luxury Diapers and DYPER are my favorite brands (both cheaper than Huggies) they also let my baby last longer through the night.

4. Diaper Rash Cream

5. Wipes/Wipe Dispenser

6. Changing Pad

7. Wet Bag for Dirty/Wet Clothes or Dirty Diapers

8. Extra Onsie (Mom Hack: Buy Zipper Footsies 10/10) or a regular outfit.

9. Bibs (The soft cloth ones are good for drool and spit-up 0-6 months/regular bibs are for babies who are in the process of incorporating fruits and vegetables)

10. Burp Cloth

11. Socks (+ Mittens, Hat)

12. Swaddle Blanket (Aden + Anais, Lifetree are my favorite Brands on Amazon + Target)

13. Pacifier Clip (Fabric Clips are recommended in the early stages, Beads Teethers are good for 6 months + )

14. Extra Pacifier

15. Baby Bottle (Formula/Extra Breastmilk/Pump)

16. Baby Comb

17. Board Book

18. Teether/Activity Toy
