What's in my Diaper Bag

I don't know about you, but I know I'm a nosey curious person. One thing I am curious about is what is in other moms diaper bags and also if they like their diaper bag of choice. This prompted me to share the diaper bag I use and what I have in it. Side note: by doing this I realized there are items I really should have in my diaper bag and maybe some that aren't necessary.

First, lets talk about the Diaper bag itself. When I was pregnant I feel like I did research on diaper bags and asked other moms with kids already what they liked and didn't like about their diaper bag all in hopes to find the perfect bag. My needs, or so I thought at the time, were as follows: 
  • daily necesities like lotions, sanitizers, rash cream, ect.
  • diapers/wipes
  • nursing cover
  • change of clothes for baby
  • burp rag
  • my wallet
  • Chapstick 
  • water bottle for myself 
  • wet bag
After all of my efforts to find, what I thought would be, the best diaper bag for me I settled on the Sashay Satchel made by Petunia Pickle Bottom in Black. When Jase was a fresh little newborn this bag was GREAT, it worked just as I expected, the bag fit all the needs for my newborn and self. Then we has struggles with breastfeeding (I won't got into that here, but if interested in reading that click here), Jase had reflux which caused him spit up a lot and frequently he was having massive poopplosions. All of that added these things to my diaper bag:
  • A lot more burp rags 
  • Bibs
  • About 2-3 outfits for Jase depending on how long we'd be out
  • Bottles
  • Formula

At this point, I needed to now have the diaper bag and purse with me. All this along with a newborn, I really wished I'd gotten a bigger diaper bag. But, today, I realize that my needs as mom are changing what I like and don't like about my diaper bag daily. Sometimes it's perfect, other days I feel like I need more space in there. At Jases age now, I mostly leave the diaper bag in the car and just throw a few rings in my purse when were out and about. This seems to work for now. So, without further ado, here's whats in my toddler diaper bag!
Everything thats in the Diaper Bag - Out of the Diaper Bag
The Basics: Diapers, Wipes, Changing Pad and Sanitizer
Other Basics: Sanitizing wipes, Lotion, Sunscreen, Rash Cream
Snack and Bibs: Water Cup, Snack Cup, Random Snacks and TWO bibs. My child often refuses bibs, so I carry options!
Sunglasses and Wet Bag
Kleenex - Last minute add. I forgot I bought more the other day and so it wasn't in my bag when I pulled everything out.

So, there it all is! I mentioned earlier in the post what I was missing. Did you figure it out? A BACK UP SET OF CLOTHES! Seriously, this could be dangerous! Confession time: I took out his 12 month back up the other day a long time ago, and never put a new back up in. He's wears 2T now, I better go put some clothes in there soon!

Whats diaper bag do you have? What's in it? Love, hate it? Do tell! Also does anyone have reviews they'd love to share on either of these two diaper bags below?

  1. I have the same diaper bag (love your black one though!) and love it! When E was a newborn I used the PPB boxy style and liked it but not as much as this style. I mainly keep mine is the car and into restaurants or family member's houses or whatever. :)
