Diapers
The most obvious, but perhaps the most necessary, item in your diaper bag. Babies tend to do their business at the most unexpected times, and if you want to be on the safe side, a few extras are a must. diapers always a good idea!
Wet wipes
Wet wipes are perfect for quick cleaning and freshening up, whether it's after a diaper change or a messy meal.
Change of clothes
Spilled meals, diaper rash, or leaking diapers can leave both you and baby in a sticky situation, so a few extra clothes can end up benefiting both of you, even if it's just for a short trip.
Changing mat
An easy and lightweight solution if you need a soft and hygienic surface when changing diapers. The changing mat may not be an obvious item on the list, but it can be useful on a long trip.
Hand sanitizer
If you are going on a longer trip with your baby, hand sanitizer can be a good idea for those moments when you don't have access to water.
Nursing pads
If you breastfeed your child, nursing pads are indispensable in your diaper bag to avoid unwanted leaks.
Sucks
Pacifiers can be a great source of comfort and solace for young children, and are therefore always good to have if your child is used to using them.
Extra clothes for you
Leaky diapers and vomiting don't just affect the baby! It can be nice to have an extra shirt or pants with you on a longer trip if you know your baby is vomiting a lot.
Bib
When it's mealtime, a bib is both yours and your baby's best friend.
Diaper bags
For storing used diapers, wet wipes or dirty/filthy clothes so that they do not spread odors.
Sunscreen and sun hat
If it's summer, a good, thick sunscreen and a sun hat are necessary to protect your baby's delicate skin.
Toiletries
Like baby lotion, diaper cream, shampoo, toothbrush, and everything else your baby needs.
Toy
Something to entertain and distract the baby, especially if you are waiting somewhere. Maybe a small teddy bear, or something else that can easily be taken in the diaper bag.

Cloth diapers are versatile and can be used as a cover, burp cloth, or even as an emergency wipe!
Extra pacifier
An extra pacifier can end up saving the day if the first pacifier is lost - so remember to have an extra pacifier, or maybe two.
