What's In My Diaper Bag (10 -12 Months Old Toddler)

A diaper bag is the companion of every mother. Right? The time our baby is born, mothers never forget their diaper bags. As our baby grows from an infant to a toddler, our diaper bag never changes, but the stuff inside it definitely changes. Right?

I have written a blog on what must be in a diaper bag for a 0-5 months baby. At that time, my son was 2 months old. In this blog post, I intend to share what I put in my diaper bag for my son, who is about to turn 1 year old.

DIAPER BAG ESSENTIALS

HYGIENE:-

1. Diapers:- For short visits, I keep at least 4-5 diapers because I don't know when my baby will poop. And if I am travelling, then I keep 1 diaper for every hour.
2. Wet Wipes:- I prefer keeping the wet wipes packet with a lid. It's easier to open, and I take out the wipes from one hand.
3. Diaper Rash Cream :- I always put diaper rash cream before putting diapers on as it prevents rashes. Secondly, I prefer buying a diaper cream that comes in a tube. It occupies less space and is easier to open.
4. Sanitizer :- I make sure that if I do not have a place to wash my hands, I first sanitize my hands and then change his diaper. Also, while giving him something to eat. I use an alcohol-free sanitizer. But After applying sanitizer, I wiped my hand with a water-based wet wipe.
5. Diaper Changing Sheet :- I keep one with me so that there is no mess.
6. Wash Cloth :- While eating to wipe the face and hands.
7. Bib:- I carry feeding bibs to protect my son's shirt from getting messy. But nowadays, He just pulls it off.

FUN:-

1. Pen and Paper :- Since he is now 11 months, he loves scribbling on Paper. I always keep some coloured sketch pens and 2-3 sheets.
2. Rubik's Cube :- He loves bright colours and loves playing with the Cube.
3. Soft Toy :- His favorite soft toy is a Lion which he carries with him everywhere
4. Story Books :- He loves listening to storybooks and seeing the books.

SNACKS:-

I love cooking for him. On weekends I make sure that I learn recipes for him and cook for him. For travel, I keep the food he loves. Here is the list of the food I mostly keep when I leave home.

1. Banana
2. Wheat Jaggery Cake
3. Mithe Pue ( wheat and Jaggery)
4. Unsalted roasted Makhana
5. Unsalted roasted Murmure ( he picks up one by one and 30 minutes he is busy)
