- Diaper cream
- Baby sunscreen
- Hand sanitizer
- Bottle and formula/milk if needed

- Chapstick for me
- Scrunchie/hairties for me
- A snack for me
- Water bottle
- 2 plastic bags (for dirty clothes in case of diaper blowout, etc)

It'll evolve with baby's age and as you figure out what works best for you, but that should solidly cover your bases to start

The hospital usually provides all the essentials for you and baby, don’t be shy to ask for whatever you need. But the three things I’d absolutely recommend taking are a warm pair of socks (hospitals are freezing), your own blanket and pillow (so much more comfortable), and a large reusable water bottle (easier than pinging the nurses every hour or so).

I’m addition to what everyone else is saying, I also have a nursing cover in mine and doggie bags! I think a lot of dr offices don’t let you throw dirty diapers in their trash so it’s nice to have some plastic bags for diaper changes.
Also don’t forget about snacks for yourself 😉 that mom life makes it easy to forget about meals

I have a small bag I walk light but I have a fully packed diaper bag in the boot of the car w all the “essentials” and extras

thank you everybody !!! i appreciate it this helps a lot

everything. loads spare clothes, teething meds ie calpol or equivalent, toys, spare dummies, change of clothes for you in case. rags, bibs, nappy rash cream.

Nappies,nappy rash cream, wipes, travel changing mat, nipple cream for mum(if breastfeeding) also a cover for mum if breastfeeding, change of baby clothes, nappy bags, toy for baby, dummies, bibs

^^^ yes, a travel mat. can’t tell you the amount of times i’ve changed my baby on the toilet floor with a nappy under his head bc i forgot it

Diapers, wipes, spare onesie, socks, pacifier, bib, baby spoon, premixed bottle for an emergency, a toy that can clip on to something, clean up cloths, changing mat, swaddle cloth which can be used to lay baby down in a pinch. Stuff for you-Tylenol, Tampons, whatever. My bag has a mini bag inside that I put a few diapers and some wipes. That way I can just grab the small bag for a quick outing.

Mine has loads of pockets an I don’t use half of them, nappies, wipes, nappy sacks, dummy, nappy cream, if breast feeding breast pads & nipple cream, or bottles, hair ties, chap stick, t-shirt for me, 2/3 changes of clothes for baby, burp cloth, money, I also keep a sanity pad an underwear for me,

As they get older/bigger then you might also put snacks, a sippy cup, a couple toys, books or even coloring books and crayons in it.
