You found the right bag, now make sure you have the right stuff in it.

Most moms spend weeks looking for the perfect diaper bag. It has to be stylish (it is taking over as your purse after all), functional, and wipeable.

Once you have that bag, it's easy to stuff it full of all kinds of things you *might* need and just as easy to forget the one thing you really did need. Other than the basic diapers, wipes, toys that you will always need, here are a few other finds:

*Cleanwell 1oz pocket-sized all-natural hand sanitizer. It's sold just about everywhere these days. It's compact, all natural, toxic free and alcohol free. It's spray is a great way to get your kids involved in cleaning their hands. (thanks Jess for the recommendation)

*For those moms whose kids are now eating solids, my favorite way to tote around snacks is this great Boon snack ball. It stores great in the corners of your bag and like all Boon products it's BPA free.

*It's inevitable that when you put your kid in their cutest outfit to go out to dinner, that's when they will be the messiest. These bibs by Oots are made of terry cloth to absorb and cover your little one's belly & arms. Not to mention the adorable designs they come in.

*Even with the Oots bib or other mess ups, sometimes you need to pull out that change of clothes. Put the dirty, wet, soiled clothes in a Wet Happened? bag, zip it up and stash it back into your diaper bag until you can get home. The bag is waterproof, pvc lined, and is machine washable. It folds up small and is so lightweight, I often forget I have it in our bag.

*The Butt Naked Baby shea stick is one of the most versatile items in our diaper bag. It's great for chapped lips, dry skin, and anywhere else that baby is chapped or irritated. I'll admit, I've often used it on my own chapped lips. Just use a clean finger each time for application.
