Our Favourite Nappy Bag Essentials...

1. Nappies. We think pampers have got it covered with their nappies, we find them the most absorbent, versatile and crucially most comfortable on the market.

2. Wipes. We love Nature Babycare's eco fragrance free wipes- especially in the travel pack. (Although we don't feel that their nappies are as good as pampers as they do not stick back together when rolled after use!)

3. Sudocrem's new tube. Advertised as being sudocrem for adults we think it is very handy for the changing bag for you and baby alike.

4. Muslins, any simple muslin squares are an invaluable nappy bag addition!

5. Bibs, any simple material bib for newborns and ZPM's amazing popper bib for weaning and toddlers. You do up the poppers at the bottom before the meal to create a pouch that catches stray bits of food falling; then simply unpop at the end of the meal and empty the pouch into the bin before putting the clean bib back into your nappy bag- what a fab idea! No more scooping soggy food out of a plastic pouch or off a restaurant highchair! Our favourite is the cow bib but check out all the fab designs.



6. A spare of your baby's favourite toy (not the one they love at home incase it gets dirty or lost). We love Lamaze's Freddie the Firefly. 


7. Two baby-grows- yes they look lovely in their little outfits but if you have 'one of those days' you will be grateful that you packed practical rompers and not frilly dresses.

8. Pamper's Disposable Mats so that you can be confident about the surface that you change your baby on and not have to worry about cleaning the mat before putting it back in the bag- just throw it away if it's wet or soiled!

9. An antibacterial AND antiviral hand-wash, our pick of the bunch is Mentholatum's.

10. Ready made carton of aptamil (for emergencies if you are breast feeding or with a clean sterilized bottle if you aren't!) OR an Ella's Kitchen pouch for weaning and toddlers.

11. Bottle of infacol - featured on the blog in "WINDY TIP" if you want to find out why.
