Make nappy changes away from home a breeze with our top tips on what to include in
your nappy changing bag! It's tempting to take everything but the kitchen sink out with you when you leave the house with your baby, especially in the early days. But in the absence of a magical, bottomless hold-all, what do you really need in your nappy changing bag?
Here are the essentials:
2-4 Huggies nappies
A pack of Huggies wipes and/or Huggies Cotton Soft sheets
Huggies Changing Pads perfect for nappy changes on the go!
Barrier cream
Nappy sacks
A couple of small toys for distracting baby during a nappy change
Muslin cloths and bibs
Formula milk if you're bottle feeding
A clean spare dummy (if using)
At least one change of clothes for baby
A clean top for you - just in case! Roll clothes to minimise creases and maximise space
A baby hat and sunscreen
Prescription medicine and a small first aid kit
Money and mobile phone
A book or magazine to read in case baby has a nap while you're on your coffee stop
A bottle of water and snack for you. Breastfeeding and pushing a pram can work up quite an appetite!
