What's in your baby bag?

January

I've four kids so I might have it covered but I thought it would be a good thread for advice for the newbies!

So, I have,

2 Empty sterilised bottles
A few cartons of ready made formula.
Nappies
Wipes
Change of clothes
Bottle of Nurofen
Changing mat

Chattastrophe!

All of this, plus a can of Diet Coke and a packet of Panadol for mammy!

Chattastrophe!

Oh and bibs. No such thing as too many bibs.

I'm after rooting through my bag, and the only other things I found were deodorant, hairties, hair grips, hairbrush, assorted makeup, tampons.

Is it a baby bag or a mammy bag?

Bit of both :eek: I was leaving out my things but my purse and phone are always in the baby bag too, no point in carrying two of them!

My two are too big for changing bags now ...so usually I just grab a nappy and a packet of wipes as I'm running out the door and shove them in my handbag

Most of the above plus sun cream cos you never can tell what the Irish weather will throw at you
