A newborn baby is many things to parents: a miracle of nature, the cutest creature in the world – but it also changes almost everything. Everyday life with a baby can be exhausting. Leaving the house alone requires top organizational skills. To help new parents prepare for a trip with their baby and be prepared for all challenges, Bübchen has created a checklist: What are the absolute must-haves in the diaper bag? From diapers and baby spoons to a change of clothes – the list is long. Always with them: the new biodegradable Aqua Touch wipes from Bübchen.
Shortly after the birth, new parents are happy, excited, and a little overwhelmed. A baby brings with it a whole host of challenges: It's alternately hungry, has a full diaper, spits up, or cries for no apparent reason. At home, moms and dads have everything they need in these situations. But eventually, the big moment arrives: the outing with their infant. It doesn't matter whether it lasts one hour or five – a bag packed with baby essentials is a must every time. And even if you don't have everything you need, the most important thing is to stay calm. After all, you can always improvise: if you don't have a diaper handy, the next mom is surely not far away. Much more important than being perfectly organized is enjoying moments together with your baby. Parents often stress about little things that are often easily remedied. But everything has its time. The baby doesn't need perfectly organized parents, they need love and security.
In general , parents should pack the following items:
- Cap or hat
- Burp cloth
- diapers
- Changing mat
- Bags for dirty diapers / clothes
- Wet wipes
- Change of clothes: bodysuit, panties, socks (because babies tend to lose a sock)
jacket - Sun and rain protection for the stroller
- cuddly toy / rattle
- Sunscreen
- wound ointment
- dummy
- handkerchiefs
Parents are constantly wondering whether their baby is wearing enough clothes . The rule of thumb is: The baby always wears one more layer than the parents. A layered look is generally recommended: This allows parents to remove layer after layer as temperatures rise. A rain cover should always be included for the stroller . Babies cool down quickly when they get wet. Sun protection is also absolutely essential for sensitive baby skin in good weather.
If babies are not (or no longer) breastfed, it is recommended to always have infant milk formula on hand:
- It is best to take the infant milk formula with you in a scoop to avoid hectic spooning into the bottle
- To warm up the infant milk or porridge, a thermos flask with boiled water that is almost at drinking temperature when filled is suitable, or a jug with hot water and an additional bottle of still water for quickly mixing to drinking temperature.
For later outings with babies who are already eating solid food , the following must-haves are also on the list:
- glasses
- Spoon
- Thermos flask with boiled water at drinking temperature or flask with hot water and a bottle of still water to warm milk or porridge
