Five years ago, when I was a new mom, I carried everything and anything in my bag. I had a big tote and you bet your boots that thing was FILLED. TO. THE. BRIM. with toys, diapers, wipes, seven outfits, five burp cloths… you name it, I had it. I was like Mary Poppins or Hermione Granger, except instead of the cute small magic bag, I had a huge bulging tote that gave me back problems.

Now that I’m a third time momma and I have to carry crap around for a big kid, a toddler, and a newborn, I have scaled down SIGNIFICANTLY. Since I have to focus and tend to three different kids, with three different needs, I can’t be carrying a huge bag. You never know when mom’s gonna need to snatch an arm, run, or need to clean up a mess. Here are my 3rd time momma essentials!
3 Toddler Diapers
8 Baby Diapers
Wipes
Wallet (The blue wallet is an RFID blocker for your cards since I'm terrified of my identity getting stolen!)
1 Onesie (because... blow outs.)
Hand Sanitizer
Chapstick
Burp Cloth
Toys
Nursing Cover
Snacks
Sunglasses
band aids
antibacterial spray (lol, toddler life.)
Keys
Water Bottle
Wipes
Changing pad
My diaper bag has become an extension of my soul so it’s incredibly important for me to have a bag big enough to carry my stuff and the kids stuff. Call it shallow, but it’s equally if not more important to have a CUTE diaper bag that will go with my outfits. I use the Vilah Bloom Café Crossover. It’s versatile to fit your needs – you can carry it as an over the shoulder tote, a hands free backpack, or a cross body messenger. All Vilah Bloom bags have a wipes dispenser so you don’t have to go digging for wipes. It also has an included changing pad so I don’t have to bring my own!
