What's in my diaper bag?

This post is inspired by an instagram 'game' I was tagged in a few days ago and sheer boredom. I've spent many time packing, re packing, and re organizing our diaper bag and I'm finally content with its contents. So to answer the question, here it is:

 

 

diapers - depending on how long our outing will be I pack extras but I usually keep 2 at all times.

 

wipes - of course only sensitive for my Littles picky skin.

 

butt paste - all natural and cloth diaper safe. One of the only things we've found to work so far.

 

bottles - these are my specific diaper bag bottles. They stay in there at all times so I can never be out and about with no milk for the little.

 

formula -  obviously we need this. And the little dispenser is awesome!

 

burp cloths/bibs - with Brantley eating solids now these are a must.

 

wet bag - for the dirty diapers/clothes.

 

paci bag - always need extra clean pacis.

face wipes - the messy kid always needs something wiped off.

 

changing pad - for all those bathrooms that don't have changing pads obviously also for public changing tables.

 

fist aid kit - also has the travel size bath stuff since you never know what will happen. 

 

mom stuff - wallet, umbrella, lady stuff and a pen.

 

 

Before we go out I always throw in 2 extra outfits, gas drops and teething tablets. I need to grab extras of these to keep in there next time I'm out. The little will be getting some cute snack cups so I can take food out with us now.

 

Baby Led Weaning

From the very beginning I had every intention to make my own baby food. I had my really cool Ninja blender and I was only going to make 100% organic purees for my little. Well the closer we got to the 4-6 month where solids are generally started, the less I wanted to go with purees. I did try purees a hand full of times and he just had no interest.  He wanted to play with he spoon, not eat from it. That just reassured me that baby led weaning was the way to go.

I started doing more research, wanting to make sure I did it all the 'right' way. So far the little porker had had squash, green beans, avocado, broccoli, honey dew, cantelope, and bananas. Next on the list is zuchinni! I did, and still do, get nervous that he could choke on something but he seems to be doing well do far. My husband and I are both CPR certified which eases my anxiety, but still, no parent ever want to have to do CPR on their child. I've been extra careful with the foods he gets, I steam what I can and just keep a close watch on him while he eats. I'm probably overly cautious,  but better safe than sorry.

Once Brantley gets a little better with the chewing and swallowing in introduce things like scrambled eggs and types of melon that are still a bit hard for him now.
