I posted a “ten minute tidy” of our diaper bags on my Instagram story yesterday and got a bunch of questions about different items so wanted to share what we’re toting around when things are reasonably organized! (I ordered one of those diaper bag organizers and it just felt kind of extraneous to me — our diaper bags are pretty small so it’s never too hard to find what we’re looking for, even when they start to collect miscellaneous odds and ends.) We have two diaper bags and tend to keep one in the car and another in the base of our stroller. Here’s what we’re typically toting around:

• LL Bean boat and tote (medium size with regular handles)
• Pampers Swaddlers diapers
• Water Wipes
• Amazon changing mat
• Gerber cloth diaper used as burp cloth
• Terrycloth bib
• Disinfecting wipes
• Baby Aquaphor
• Hairbrush
• Random toy (silicone link and spinner above)
• Spare outfit

P.S. A few posts in a similar vein:
