When You’re Out on the Town With Baby Diapers and Tushie Wipers!
March 17, 2009First, Some Fun!
Happy Tuesday! Today’s blog starts out with a quick quiz. Take a look at the photo on the right. Is it:
a) Angelina Jolie
b) Octomom with 1/14 of her army
If you guessed a, of course, you’re right. What gave it away for you? For me, it was the diaper bag. A woman with 14 kids–eight of them infants–would be schlepping a U-Haul behind her with all the things she’ll need for kids’ day out. With thanks to MarloElaine’s blog, here’s her list and a photo of items that need to travel with moms on the move:
Items for Baby:
Cloth bibs
Burp cloths
Diapers (2-3)
Baby wipes
Lap pad
Change of clothes (onesie, socks, hat, pants, long-sleeve shirt)
Blanket (in case baby gets cold or wants to play on the floor/glass)
Infant Motrin and syringe, Tylenol Suppository and lubricant
Thermometer
Bulb syringe & saline water
Infant feeding kit (2 oz. water, bottle with 1 scoop formula, 1 nipple)
Items for Toddler:
Diapers (2)
Baby wipes
Lap pad
Change of clothes (t-shirt, socks, pants, long-sleeve shirt)
Children’s Motrin and Syringe
Snacks (fruit snacks, cheese crackers, raisins, etc.)
Disposable bib
Toys, crayons, and paper
Items for Mom:
Extra t-shirt
Bottled water
Snacks (granola bar, fruit, etc.)
First Aid Kit (adhesive bandages, alcohol pads, antibiotic ointment, gauze, etc.)
No, octomom isn’t going anywhere with all her kids at once until they’re all kindergarten graduates. But if you’re a normal, new mom (emphasis on normal) who likes to be on the go with her baby, you can find lots of stylish diaper bags—just as fashionable as Angelina’s—to sling over your shoulder, and you’ll pay a fraction of the price. I’d like to show you three primary styles and the differences between them:
Just pick the style that works best for you, and thank your lucky stars you’re not the octomom.
