A mom’s diaper bag can serve as her personal assistant, tantrum saver and stylish accessory all wrapped up into one. Today’s hip mom must-have is a special diaper bag edition and includes several essential items every mom should have when toting around her tots.
First and foremost is the diaper bag itself. Diaper bags nowadays are trendy, compact and provide a busy mom with plenty of storage for her things. There are so many option and designs available by a plethora of designers, and prices run the gamut from cheap to astronomical. Any mom knows that a diaper bag is something that provides you with many years of good use, especially with multiple kids, so consider it an investment to get one that will provide you with everything you need to stay organized.This edition features a diaper bag from Oi Oi, an Australian brand. This particular bag includes such amenities as a large padded changing pad, an insulated bottle holder and a wipes case. It can be purchased from multiple online retailers, including Mamas and Munchkins, for about $140.
Once you have the diaper bag, here are some other essentials that should be included:
Diapees and wipees: Probably the most essential thing in your diaper bag? Diapers and wipes! This is a fashionable accessory that is designed for holding a travel pack of wipes and two to four diapers.
Cleanwell All Natural Hand Sanitizer Spray: Get rids of gross germs that you child gets from touching anything and everything. It’s all natural too, so no concerns about alcohol here.
Snack trap: What diaper back isn’t complete without a snack for your kid? The snack trap fits a generous amount of cereal/pretzels/Goldfish without the mess in your car or bag.
OhMama Nutrition bars: Don’t forget a snack for yourself. These bars are meant for women who are pregnant because they provide the correct amount of vitamins and minerals for growing babies. But hey, they taste great and there’s no reason why only pregnant women get to be the ones enjoying them!
Swami Baby onesie: Don’t forget about a change of clothes! Essential to have in the diaper bag for any spills, diaper leaks, etc. Swami Baby has a really cute line of ‘Swami Sayings’ onesies like, “Just breathe, mom” and “Constantly changing.”
SippiGrip bottle holder: How many times have you been in the car when your child’s cup falls and you have to navigate the road while strenuously reaching back to grab it off the floor mat? This mom-invention is a clever idea to keep the cup with the kid.
Table Topper: Going out to eat? These eco-friendly, disposable table-mats are an absolute essential for keeping food off of germ-laden tables at restaurants. With an adhesive backing, these mats stay put and provide a sanitary eating surface for your kids, while also keeping them occupied with colorful patterns and characters.
