Your guide to packing a baby bag

That’s the thing about baby bags - it’s hard to know what you’ll need to pack in one until it becomes an indispensable part of your life.

Don’t worry Mumma ~ we’ve got you covered!

This is your downloadable + printable checklist for everything you’ll need to pack in your Baby Bag for 0-6 months, 6-12 months and 1-2 years. We hope it’ll take the guesswork out of packing, and avoid an overstuffed bag that actually has nothing you really need.

  • 5 Nappies
  • Baby wipes
  • Disposable nappy bags (for dirty nappies)
  • Nappy cream
  • Travel change mat
  • 2 x Change of clothes
  • 2 x Bibs
  • Swaddle
  • Blanket
  • Sleep sack (if using)
  • Milk Bottle & Formula (if using)
  • 2 x Dummies (if using)
  • Teether
  • Burping Cloth or small towel
  • Hat
  • Baby’s Blue Book - for the amount of appointments you’ll have during this time, sometimes it’s easier to carry this around 24/7 so you’ll never forget to pack it.

*We haven’t included a Wet Bag, as our Nappy Bags have a built-in compartment you can use for this. Throw your dirty clothes and zip it closed to seal.
