Diaper Bag Essentials What I Pack in My Diaper Bag (Mom of Three Edition) Diaper bags look very different depending on what stage of motherhood you’re in. When I had my first, I packed everything. Now with three boys (including twins), I’ve learned what’s actually useful, what never gets used, and what I absolutely cannot leave the house without. Your diaper bag also depends on your parenting style. Some moms are ultra prepared. Others are totally fine keeping a couple diapers and wipes in the car and calling it a day. Both approaches work — this is just what works for our family. The Diaper Bag I Use I currently use the Tonyeee Diaper Bag Backpack, and it’s been great since having twins. Why I like it: I’ve tried tote-style diaper bags before, and honestly… with three kids, how am I supposed to carry that thing while wrangling toddlers and babies? Backpack all the way. Other diaper bags we’ve used or liked: Sometimes a small shoulder bag works for quick trips too, but for full outings, a backpack wins every time. Diaper Bag Essentials Diapers I pack at least 10 diapers, but that’s because I have twins. If you have one baby, you obviously won’t need that many. Amazon subscription for this saves me a decent amount of money and peace of mind. My 3-year-old doesn’t need diapers anymore — we successfully potty trained over Christmas break (check out the blog post on how we did that!). Wipes Pretty self-explanatory. You can never have too many wipes. With three kids, I have an Amazon subscription for wipes, so I never
