My mom bag must-haves go beyond just the basics. Of course, I always pack the essentials like wipes, diapers, rash cream, and a changing pad, but as a breastfeeding mom, I’ve learned that taking care of myself is just as important as taking care of my baby.
I always make sure to bring plenty of water, along with Body Armor drinks and hydration packets to keep me fueled and hydrated throughout the day. I also keep breast wipes on hand for quick cleanups, an extra pacifier, and chapstick (because somehow my lips are always dry).
I never leave the house without an extra set of clothes for my baby, and just as importantly, an extra shirt for myself. Motherhood has definitely taught me to always be prepared!
These little extras make a big difference and help me feel more comfortable, confident, and ready for whatever the day brings.
