Stocking up Baby Bag

I picked up a Johnsons gift pack thingie at the Warehouse for $10 that had a smaller size bottle of baby lotion, baby shampoo, baby powder and travel size wipes. I don't usually use the Johnsons but they're the perfect size to keep in the nappy bag for emergencies.

Other than that for Maya I just used to keep 4 or so spare nappies, a couple of bibs, a couple of changes of clothes, baby wipes and baby powder. And when she got older a couple of tins of baby food and some of those trial size sachets of baby rice you get from Karicare.

Haven't made up a nappy bag for the gremlins yet tho.

i had bottles with hot water in them 4 spare nappies 2- charges of clothes,dummy,acouble of toys for pram/playing with ,wipes,a charge of carride and bibs just in case

I keep the spare clothes (a full set)in a plastic zip lock bag, and the nappie grear in a clear plastic ziplock bag, that way, when I go from day care bag to going out bag, I just take the 2 plastic bags out and I am sorted. I "refill" those plastic bags nightly, and also keep (in both nappy bags) plastic bags, facecloths, spare wipes, suncream, hats and whatever, it gets a bit like a handbag...

I've got nothing to add to all those lists, except to say that I have to regularly check the clothes change in my baby bag - mostly in the first 6 months - to make sure the clothes are still the right size. They grow out of them sooo quickly!

Oh and I also leave wipes in the glove box of the car even now for cleaning up sticky paws.

Andie, I went to the Palmy Warehouse the day after the mailer came out and could not find them at all. If you have any luck please let me know as I want to get a few boxes to have.

Can't really add anything to the bag list other than I left things like nappies and wipes in the bag all the time and just added more if we were running low.

I'll let ya know if I find them, Becks - they sound handy.  If I go into town at all this week it'll be tomorrow morning.  I've got small (not mini) ones in the nappy bag now, but true to my normal packing-styles, that bag is looking waaay too full already (without a change of clothes even), and it ain't too small a bag! 

I used powder at every change (either curash or johnsons anti-rash) and cream only if she was a bit red which wasn't too often.

I don't think I started using the powder till I started using the cloths when she was about 6 weeks old? Can't remember exactly, it's sooooo long ago!
