What's in your diaper bag?
Instead of putting the baby's stuff in my hospital bag, I'm gonna pack her diaper bag. Let's see if I got this right..
-2 Newborn onsies
-1 pair of Newborn pants
-2 Newborn sleepers (which run big)
-6 0-3 month onsies (some run small)
-4 pairs of socks
-1 pair of mittens (to keep her from scratching her face)
-3 spit rags (for the ride home)
-1 blanket (it's a light blanket, but not quite a receiving blanket)
-2 binkies (in case she doesn't like the hospital one)
Should I pack a few diapers for the ride home (it's about a 35 minute ride)? Can anyone think of anything else?

2 pairs of socks ( one to be used as mittens )
1 light blanket
Baby nail trimmers
p.s. I've had it packed since week 29 because of pre-term labor scares so it's very minimal. I may however only add real mittens and a hair bow for pictures.:)
2 pairs of socks
A couple receiving blankets
& some diapers and wipes
Going home outfit (built in mittens)
Nb shoes
Extra nb onesie
One 0-3 onesie
A beanie that matches
One pair of socks that match all 3
One bib, that also matches
2 burp clothes
4 nb diapers
Rash cream
Travel wipes
Breast pads
Nipple cream
And I think that's it.
Her blanket is with her car seat.
@lily_glz The reason I packed so many onesies is because when I was born, my mom had a problem finding onesies that would fit right, because I was so long. She had to kinda go in between sizes, or find the ones that ran big, to accommodate my length.
@Mrsforsee I totally forgot about the nail clippers!
@ashleyfew I have 3 burp rags that I'm going to kinda keep in the diaper bag at all times just in case. I have the ones for around the house put away at home. And, as far as the clothes, the hospital I'm delivering at does newborn pictures, so I kinda want to have a few cute outfits to put her in so I don't have pictures with the onesie they put her in. Lol. I don't want that to be a part of my memories!
For me:
I packed a night gown/robe, an outfit to go home in, sleep bra, socks, undies, toiletries, toothbrush, make up, cell phone charger, videocamera...
For baby Dylan: 2 going home outfits, onesie, hat, socks, burp rag...
For Daddy: he says he doesn't need to pack, typical man! Lol
2 outfits (different size)
Socks
Scratch mittens
hair bows
Beanies
Diapers
wipes
Diaper cream
Qtips
Nail clipers
Lotion
powder
2 receiving blanket
1 blanket
Burp cloths
Pacifiers
I will use whatever the hospital gives me but in case I need other stuff I think my bby is covered
@valentinasmommy Lol, when I told my fianceé he was in charge of his bag, he's like what do I need a bag for? I said, well if you plan on wearing the same clothes for a couple of days, not wearing deodorant, brushing your teeth, etc, then I guess you don't need one at all. He said he'd just wear a hospital gown & stink. Lol. Men..
@ethansmommy112 I guess I should get rid of a few onesies, lol. I'm a FTM, obviously , and I'm so anxious to dress her!
@MLK619 You've got the same basic idea as me, but I think I'm gonna cut down the load a little bit. Lol.
@QweenNique I was unsure about packing diapers for the ride home. I don't want her to mess her diaper & have to sit in it until we got here, but I found out the hospital gives you some diapers before you leave for that exact reason. So, I'm gonna stock up on all I can while I'm there! Lol.
