6. Feeding
You will often need to feed your baby when out and about, so make sure you have baby bottles and formula storage container if bottle feeding and a scarf and breast pads can come in handy if you are breastfeeding. A burp cloth and bib is also useful to protect clothing.
7. Dummy
A dummy and dummy case is always handy in case bub becomes unsettled and needs soothing! How do you choose the right dummy for your baby? Read our blog here.
8. Blanket or Muslin
A blanket is useful for both keeping baby warm and using to place baby on when you are out and about. A light muslin, swaddle or bunny rug is useful in summer for keeping sun off the pram or baby.
9. Baby Body Products
10. Portable Sound Machine
11. Baby Hat
A baby hat is easy to fold up and pop into your nappy bag and will be needed if your baby is out in the sun to avoid sunburn!
12. Small Toys
Pack a pouch with some small toys or books. These come in very handy if you are in a waiting room or need to distract baby.
13. Water and Snacks
For older babies and parents, pack a few non-perishable snacks (lactation cookies are great for breastfeeding mums!) and plenty of water in an insulated drink bottle.
14. Fold Up Tote
This is a bonus tip! We love the fold up totes from OiOi as they are small enough to pop in your nappy bag. They fold out into a huge shopping bag which is useful if you are out shopping or at the markets and need a bag!
15. Parent Essentials
Don't forget your wallet, keys, sunnies etc! You might like to use the front compartments of the nappy bag for easy access.
There you have our ultimate checklist for what to put in your nappy bag! We hope it's been useful to you.
