While my youngest has recently turned three (gasp), it feels like almost yesterday I brought him home. The first few months after he was born was such a whirlwind. Between not getting enough sleep and trying to juggle my two older boys as well, I had to let more things go. I stopped worrying so much about the little things so I could really enjoy this special time with my baby. One thing I learned quickly was that I didn’t want to lug around a huge diaper bag with me everywhere. Instead, I opted for a minimal amount of items that were versatile and kept me prepared without weighing me down. Here are my 5 must-have items in your diaper bag.

1. Muslin Swaddle Blankets: I didn’t discover these until my third child, but I couldn’t live without them! Muslin swaddling blankets get softer with every wash and can serve many functions. Use them as a blanket for baby, burp cloth, breastfeeding cover up, or even as protection from the elements when draped over a stroller. I loved aden + anais. And because they are so thin, they don’t take up much space!

2. Pacifier: All three of my babies stopped using a pacifier at 6 months, but for the first few months, they were a lifesaver. Never leave home without one and another to spare (just in case).

3. Pampers Wipes: I’ve tried several brands of wipes, but I always go back to Pampers. They are super soft, yet strong and come in such fun packaging. Besides using them for cleaning my sweet baby’s bum, I also used them for cleaning surfaces when out and about!

4. Change of Clothing: I always prefered to pack layers when it came to extra outfit. I like those that are comfortable and work well year round. Carter’s is a favorite brand that offers quality at an affordable price. A three piece outfit like this one works well no matter what the weather and won’t take up too much room in a diaper bag.

5. Baby Toy: A great rattle is a must-have for any baby. My little guy’s favorite was a sun from Tiny Love. Not only was it easy to grip and made a great sound, but it also offered textured sun rays for chewing.

All of these must-have items can be purchased in one place: Babies“R”Us! They can be your trusted adviser in helping through each and every journey – literally – as new parent!
