I totally forgot that I keep at least one hat in an easily accessible side pocket for short trips in and out of the sun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1109275 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 03:46:52 +0000 Penny Lane 1109275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: awesome list! like others said I would maybe add a spare outfit and some ziplock bags for wet clothes. with those added that's basically my bag even now at 13 months, just minus the nursing cover (I never used one). and I just had regular muslin blankets, couldn't justify the a+a premium!</p> <p>would have loved to get this as a shower gift, personally! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1109248 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 01:32:21 +0000 lemondrop 1109248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snot sucker- I would have died without one. Well, maybe not that bad, but my little guy sneezed milk out of his nose on a regular basis and it freaked me out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1109212 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 23:26:57 +0000 Ms.Badger 1109212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely include a onesie or a sleeper because it's practical and fun to pick out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1109210 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 23:23:01 +0000 Mrs. Schoolbus 1109210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also put extra onesies/change of clothes. </p> <p>Awesome gift!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1108863 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 19:32:03 +0000 Smurfette 1108863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: that is a great gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1108819 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 19:08:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 1108819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: tough call on the cheap diaper bag- is she someone who would like anocer one but doesn't want to waste money or is just practical? </p> <p>I think your list looks great. I do not bring a nursing cover though, I find using the A&amp;A blanket just as easy and takes up less space and serves two functions. But a pack of them alone is $50ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1108811 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 19:05:25 +0000 banana 1108811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Hmmm. I would just stick with the bag that she picked for herself. Because bag choices can be pretty personal, you know? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1108804 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 19:02:10 +0000 deerylou 1108804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep a few of those lightly scented, sassy bags in our diaper bag in case I have to change LO somewhere where there isn't a suitable trash bin. </p> <p>I also keep a floppy bonnet on hand in case the sun is especially bright (like @mslipgloss: mentioned, sunscreen is a no-go, at first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1108774 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:43:39 +0000 Bao 1108774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Well we have sunscreen because LO is old enough, I was thinking more the first year rather than the first couple of months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1108721 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:20:49 +0000 MrsTiz 1108721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Ooh, good to know about the sunscreen! Thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1108719 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:20:21 +0000 MsLipGloss 1108719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: You probably don't need sunscreen (it's not recommended for LOs under 6 months). I would probably add a few gallon size zip locks to contain any clothes/blankets if her LO has a blowout.</p> <p>ETA: Oh, and if space is a premium, the A+A blanket can double for a nursing cover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1108716 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:18:47 +0000 MrsTiz 1108716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Is it bad that I want to get her a different diaper bag because she's got an awful cheap plastic one picked out? Or would that be rude since she picked it out for a reason... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1108711 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:16:12 +0000 banana 1108711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: That's a kicka$$ diaper bag!

And maybe a travel sized tissue pack! I also always carried with me a mini first aid kit. I put a tube of neosporin, gauze and bandaids in a ziploc. You never know! I'm an overpreparer though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-diaper-bag-essentials#post-1108681 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:57:49 +0000 Bookish 1108681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: yep, everything that you said.
