How to Pack the Perfect Diaper Bag
After two and a half years, I finally had to break down and get a new diaper bag. We were still carrying the original one we got when Weston was born and it was falling apart at the seams (literally). In all my time as a mother, I’ve never been good at packing a diaper bag. I think it’s because I’m always in a rush to get out the door and I usually just grab it without looking to see what’s actually in there. After making an emergency stop for something I forgot on the way to the zoo last week, I vowed that I would get better at packing a diaper bag. I knew what needed to be in there, I just had to take the time to do it. So, today I loaded up our new diaper bag with everything I need for a toddler and a baby. Here’s everything I pulled together to pack the perfect diaper bag.

Note: I breastfeed, but if you bottle feed, you’ll want to pack formula, bottles, and bottled water as well! I also packed this bag in the summer. During the cooler months, I’ll throw in a jacket for each child.
