What helps me is to always have an emergency bag packed. You never know when emergencies will occur. It’s also nice for when you forget to restock your diaper bag and you’re running late. And you always have diapers and wipes to hold you over when you run out. I like to pack 2 days worth of stuff for my daughter. I pack the essentials:
diapers
Wipes
Short sleeve, long sleeve, shorts, pants, footie pajamas, and sweater
Socks
Blanket
Snacks
Sippy cup and bottle of water
Comb
Changing pad
Stuffed animal
Yoga pants, shirt, sweater, socks, and underwear for myself
I already do this too!! Having an emergency bag packed and ready has saved me more than once, especially when I’m rushing out the door. I love keeping extra diapers and wipes in there because somehow those are always the first things you run out of lol. And yes to packing something for yourself too, because we’re always prepared for the babies and then forget about ourselves
For sure! I had to learn this the hard way when my daughter caught the flu at 2 months old. My husband and I automatically went into panic mode when she had a high fever and we had to call 911. It’s so hard to think straight during emergency situations
