I'm a Parent of an 18-Month-Old—These Are the Current Staples in My Baby Bag
Hey, there. I'm Bobby—the shopping director here at Who What Wear. When I'm not sourcing the market to curate shopping lists for you, dear readers, I'm running after my beautiful 18-month-old girl, the love of my life. And when I say running after, I mean it. She is on the move. And when we're out and about, I rely on my baby bag to keep organized and ensure I have everything I need for whatever comes up (because trust, you just never know). Side note from the above: Rather than a diaper bag, I call mine mine my baby bag (which is currently a Goyard style—I know, I know).
Below you'll find all of the baby staples currently in rotation in my bag, including the wipes I can't live without, must-have gadgets, and so much more. I also rounded up baby bag options if you're in the market for a new style.
I always have an outfit change in my bag. You know, just in case.
Always need the pacifiers. These from MAM are so cute.
These are the specific hand and face wipes I use.
I swear by these placemats for easy cleanup at a restaurant. Plus, the fun graphics entertain my baby.
Yes, I love my Burberry bib. It's certainly a splurge, but it's easy to clean and continue to reuse daily.
Entertainment is key in my bag. My baby adores this Jellycat book with the fun tails.
She will inevitably drop things on the floor, so these wipes help sanitize.
A lightweight blanket that doesn't take up a ton of space is helpful if it gets super chilly.
I love this set for feeding at a restaurant.
Have to have a pack of travel wipes!
I've used these burp clothes from birth until now. I don't use them so much for burping now but rather for cleanup if necessary.
A sippy cup is a must for water. I actually keep two in my bag—one for water and one for milk if we go to a restaurant.
Sunscreen is a must!
This is very helpful to stay safe.
These are the diapers I use.
