Going outside with a baby is always a bit daunting, especially during times like these. But as stay-at-home orders get lifted, the weather gets warmer and you clamor for more “fresh air”, we wanted to help you head outside safely with your baby.
Our first tip is to make sure you have the right diaper bag essentials with you to keep your baby safe and healthy. Here’s the ideal diaper bag checklist to make sure you bring what you absolutely need:
- Diapers (2-3)
- Wipes (plenty -- you can never have enough, especially if there’s a blow-out)
- Diaper Ointment (a must if you use it)
- Hand Sanitizer (yes it's now a must-have for you and your baby)
- Changing Pad (you need a clean surface to lay your baby on for a diaper change)
- Bottles (if you’re going to be out for a few hours, it’s better to bring at least one in case your baby gets hungry)
- Reusable Food Pouches (if your baby is on solids, it's a good idea to a reusable food pouch filled with a delicious puree to handle the hungries)
- Burp cloths (bring at least 1)
- Change of clothes (bring at least 1)
- Teether or Toy (these are great ways to distract and entertain as well as deal with painful teething)
Our second tip is to make sure you have the right diaper bag that keeps all of your baby’s essentials organized so you can find them at the blink of an eye and includes a hygienic cleaning surface to change diapers.

And this backpack diaper bag has a padded back and adjustable shoulder straps so it’s comfortable to carry.
Our 3rd tip is to make sure you keep your diaper bag and its contents clean. Use disinfecting wipes on your diaper bag or wash it to keep it clean after every use outside your home. Also put things in zippered bags first, then place in your diaper bag to help keep them clean if you don’t use them on your outing..
With these tips, you’ll feel more prepared to bring your baby outside during the pandemic and be able to relax and enjoy time with your baby outdoors!
