MomBagMustHaves

After so much trial and error and after having 3 kids at various ages, it seems like my must haves have grown. Lol.

Here is a list of my absolute must haves.

  • Wallet: ID, payment cards, insurance cards
  • Pen and sharpie marker (never know when you need to anotate a milk bag with day or time. )
  • Protein bars (for me and kids), travel juice powder ( make juices on the go)
  • 1 empty baby bottle and nipple
  • 1 filled baby bottle of breast milk to start a drive and feed baby
  • 1 mini travel formula milk and nipple: youll never know if your on the go and can’t stop to pump or breast feed. Even though my baby don’t drink formula since the hospital, its crucial to bring a bottle that can be stored at room temp and not go bad until opened compared to breast milk and uhauling a cooler or heater. (Then again i don’t have that ability to purchase the heat warming bottle. Unfortunatley i cant afford at this time) lol
  • At least 2 milk storage bags ( in case im in a rush) sometimes i tell myself where ill go before i head out but i always end up at more places.
  • Wearable breast pump/parts
  • 1 set of reusable nipple covers(soaks up milk before i begin to pump)
  • Baby wipes
  • 2 diapers for toddler
  • 4 diapers for newborn
  • 1 bottle for toddler juice
  • 2 wet and dry bags for my pump and possible soiled diapers(if no nearby trash) also for soiled clothing(if those diapers got heavy or had a big poop disaster #iykyk
  • 1 outfit for toddler
  • 2 bibs
  • 2 outfits for newborn
  • Changing pad
  • Mini first aid kit
  • Make up bag with any allergy meds, hand sanitizer, nose tissue, daily medications, creams, eyedrops, chapstick, etc.

Not exaggerated lol. I hope im not kissing anything here. I carry a bookbag everyday and everywhere, even if its a short trip anywhere. I know this bag is very heavy but it brings comfort to me knowing i don’t miss anything for any of my chipmunks lol MomBagMustHaves

I feel like i always saw my mother with a pen in her bag at all times. I thought it was silly. But now i see myself doing it and always finding a reason to use the pen or marker.

Thank you so much :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
