Buying baby gear for yourself or a baby shower?
Here's a great option!
A diaper caddy is a wonderful idea for moms that need to heal, or just need a portable changing station so parents don't need to haul baby to the changing table every time.
I like to stock them with multiple things in mind besides changing.
Diapers and wipes, a changing pad, diaper cream, and an extra onesie for blowouts and spit ups are a great start.
I also add nail clippers, pacifiers, feeding supplies for breast and/or bottle feeding, a receiving blanket, a swaddler, small toys, and anything else that is good to have on hand.
It also helps when you have older siblings to take care of, or multiples.
Put in some snacks for your toddler. Have a pocket dedicated to snacks and drinks for yourself while you feed.
Pets? A bag of treats to reward your pup for being gentle around baby.
The options are flexible to you and endless.
They come in different sizes, shapes, colors, and designs.
You can keep it in a room you sit with baby often like the living room or your bedroom if baby has their own nursery. Or grab it and take it wherever you choose.
They're great for roadtrips so you have plenty on hand that is easy to access without overstuffing your diaper bag.
They come in handy pretty much everywhere. Especially when you have a long day or live far from your destination. Newborn photos, the hospital, Dr's appointments, shopping, play dates, day out with friends and family, etc. It can hang out in the car and you know you have backups for what you need.
After baby grows, you can use it for other things.
For instance, I use my old one to hold my crocheting supplies. My youngest is 8, and I love making a personal baby blanket for my clients.
I'll post more baby gear ideas for things that don't break the bank and prove to be extremely useful. ♡
