As a mom of soon-to-be 2 under 2, I thought it would be helpful to share what I’m packing in my diaper bag for a toddler and a newborn.
When I was a first-time mom, I always asked friends and family what to expect, what their essential items were and what really wasn’t necessary. With two years under my belt, I wanted to give you a checklist of items I plan to pack and what really hasn’t been essential for me.
I always tell myself “Less is More” but that really isn’t the case when it comes to packing for a newborn. If you’re out running errands, anything can happen and you always want to be prepared. But the last thing you want to do is tote around a diaper bag that weights 30 pounds.
So what do you pack when you have a newborn AND a toddler?!
Grab the FREE printable and keep it on hand. I love having checklists to make sure I don’t forget anything, especially when #MomBrain kicks in. One of my favorite items is this Indie & Chic pacifier clip. I can’t tell you how much of a lifesaver this will be, Oliver lost so many pacifiers and this is the perfect solution!
Also – If you haven’t already taken a look, I share my Baby Number Two Must-Haves! Being a first-time mom is trial and error. Some things may work for you and your babies that don’t necessarily work for other families and that is OK!

I’m all about learning what people have in their diaper bag. We are expecting our first, due this summer, and I am so overwhelmed with what I need to pack with me.
