whats in your diaper bag???

[serenas_song]

New to cloth and trying to figure out how to fit it all in my diaper bag when going out. What's in yours?

Right now, I am out of town so I'm packed pretty heavy. We are going out for the day, so about 6 hours. I have:

3 prefolds with doublers
A Flip stuffed with a flat (emergency diaper, I hate Flips)
A wool soaker
Change of clothes
Extra socks
Two tubes of rash cream (CJs and Grandma El's)
Extra diaper pins
Wet bag
Cloth and sposie wipes
3 baby toys
Pocket knife
Water bottle
Wristlet wallet
Headband for me
Granola bars

I typically only carry two diapers, and rarely have a change of clothes if we are just around town.

This is all packed in my Go Gaga Slide bag. It's a lot smaller than my Ju Ju Be Be All, but easier to carry while wearing the baby.

We have two kids. One is potty trained but still having the rare accident, the other is full-time diapered. We use both cloth and disposable.

In the bag:
one Best Bottoms shell with insert snapped in
one extra BB insert
wetbag
a couple disposables
a bottle of water
a second bottle with pre-measured formula
a small toy
a bib
wipes

In the van we keep a small bag (Ju Ju Be Be Quick) with another thing of wipes, a plastic bag, and a clean pair of pants for the big kid. Diaper bag goes with the baby, Be Quick stays in the van.

-1 diaper for toddler & 2 diapers for 2 month old
-handful of cloth wipes
-travel size foaming wipe solution
-change of clothes for 2 month old
-wet bag
-burp cloth
-receiving blanket to cover up while nursing
-wallet, keys, phone, etc.

I usually take:

Two Tots Bots Easy Fits
Small wet bag
Some pre-moistened wipes. That's about it for the CDing.

Then of course I've got my wallet, phone, Swiss army knife, re-usable shopping bag, mints, and one sippy cup. I travel pretty light. I keep a spare change of clothes and a blankie in the car at all times, so I don't have to carry it around in my bag.

* Diapers, of course... how many depends on if both diapered children are leaving the house or just one, and how long we anticipate the outing to be. Anywhere from 2 to 6 diapers, really! We use fitteds only.

* A couple fleece soakers just in case. We use wool mostly but you never know what will happen so I want to have something I can pull over the diaper easily if there's some kind of accident.

* Handful of wipes. We use cloth wipes exclusively. I just grab some. Don't know how many is in there.

* Our extra bottle of spray solution.

* Some board books for the older ones to look through while we're on the road

* Sippy cups and some on-the-go snacks for the older ones, and a thermos of water, empty bottle, and can of formula for the youngest

I was a terrible over-packer, but I've been rehabilitated. For my two kids, here's what I pack (one is potty training, the other is still full diapers at 2.5yrs).

1 pair training pants
1 diaper for every 2-3hrs we'll be gone plus one extra (just in case)
CJ's BUTTer stick
cloth wipes

Realistically, even if you're running errands all day long (6-7hrs) that's still only 3 or 4 diapers needed. If you use something trim like Best Bottoms, you can bring two shells and 3-4 inserts with plenty of room left over. I pack everything into the front pocket of my Planet Wise wet/dry bag and then put that in my diaper bag. I can grab that when changes are needed and not need to haul the whole bag unnecessarily.

EDIT: I should add that I usually also pack a water bottle for each kid, my wallet, and glasses case, and phone. Sometimes a snack.
