I’ve seen a lot of “what’s in my diaper bag” posts lately, which I love, but most of them are for older babies or toddlers and I still have a (basically) newborn. So here’s what’s in my diaper bag for a little bitty baby, and I’ll do another post of this sort later on when she’s grown some and our supplies have changed.

Here’s our diaper bag, the Skip Hop Duo. So far I think it’s great. I chose basic black so it would go with anything and David wouldn’t feel weird carrying it. I still dream of super cute diaper bags but they are also super expensive. This one has all the function we need, with plenty of inside and outside pockets, a changing pad, two built-in zip up wet compartments, and a cell phone compartment.

Here’s what it looks like from above, full of our stuff.

This is what’s in the outside pockets, which is mostly my stuff. From left to right: my Sony Reader (I zip this in one of the top wet compartments), pacifier that never gets used, wallet, sunglasses, keys (yes I carry Mace) and Aquaphor – the best chapstick ever.

These are the supplies that are in the inside pockets. We have travel wipes, a wet bag, baby sunscreen, diaper rash cream, and hand sanitizer.

Finally, the bulky stuff in the main compartment. From left to right: ring sling (we don’t have an infant car seat that can be removed so I bring a carrier with me just in case), nursing cover, blanket, burp cloth, change of clothes, and several disposable diapers (she’s still too small for the cloth ones we have).

That’s it! I keep all of this stuff in there at all times, and just restock when necessary. For now I’ve quit carrying a purse, but that will change when I go back to work.

For you moms out there, what are your necessary travel supplies? What diaper bag do you use and what do you think of it?
