The must-haves
- Diapers, and plenty of them.
- Changing pad, because you never know when it’s time.
- Wipes, so you’ll be ready to clean Baby’s butt, because babies’ butts get dirty quite often.
- Extra clothes and a blanket in case they make a mess, or needs to take an impromptu nap.
- Hand sanitizer, because you never know where the nearest sink is.
- Sunscreen, so that they doesn’t get a sunburn.
- Plastic bags for storage.
The nice-to-haves
- Snacks, in case you or Baby get hungry.
- Toys and games, just to keep them entertained.
- Diaper cream, to keep them cozy and clean.
