A changing pad is important to keep on hand for when a clean surface isn't available to change the baby. Blankets and comfort items come in handy when baby needs soothing or is chilly. If you expect to be in the sun, then a small tube of sunscreen is important to put in the bag. Toys, teething rings and board books can keep baby occupied and are nice to have on hand when you get stuck in traffic or a waiting room. Emergency and contact information is important to stow in the bag, in the event that you lose the bag or cannot speak for your baby. Don't forget to think of yourself as you pack the bag. Moms can use portable snacks like granola bars, gum or energy bars. Throw in a t-shirt for yourself if your baby is prone to spit-ups or you're still nursing and prone to leaking. After a diaper change, hand sanitizer comes in handy...after all, juggling a baby and trying to wash your hands can be problematic. Think outside the bag when packing up for baby - and yourself.
