Diaper caddies are a great tool for keeping essentials for mama and baby close by. They are easy to transport around the house and come in handy when you need items quickly. Filled diaper caddies make for an excellent baby shower gift - one less thing for mama to have to prepare before baby’s arrival. Here are some ideas for what to pack in your diaper caddy.

Baby Essentials

Your life will soon be taken over with dipes and wipes. Keep them close by in your caddy for quick and easy access. Throw in your favorite diaper rash cream for that precious baby booty.

We swear by Frida Baby for all baby and mama essentials. Although the NoseFrida sounds nasty, it may soon become your favorite tool. Easily suck out baby’s boogies to clear up their little noses. And no.. the snot will not get close to your mouth. We were skeptical pre-kids, but have found the beauty in this magical little sucker. 

There are few things scarier than trimming your newborn’s fingernails for the first time. There is a chance there may be a bit of blood, and lots of tears from baby (and mostly mama). Can you tell that’s happened to us?! These easy grip nail scissors are a godsend and will take the fear out of baby’s manicures.

Tons of mama friends have raved about the Windi Gaspasser. Keep this nearby for an instant and natural solution to colic, constipation, and other gas related problems. A gassy, fussy baby makes for sad mama - make sure you have some tools on hand to combat any tummy issues that may arise.

Soothers

The great pacifier debate: will your new babe hate them or be obsessed with them? You never know until your newborn arrives if these will be your soothing savior or not. It's a good idea to have some on hand (and near by in a diaper caddy) just in case! Bibs Pacifiers are a personal favorite in the shop (and Miller's go-to). The natural rubber nipple is round and resembles the shape and size of the mother's breast to provide comfort for baby. The neutral colors are an added bonus. Who doesn't love coordinating baby's pacifier with their outfit?! Pacifier clips are a great tool to keep your precious soothers close by. 

Loveys and stuffed animals make excellent soothers as well. Often they become your babe's bestie for years to come. (Jett loooves his foxy) This sweet knit lion doubles as a rattle for entertainment for baby.

Mama Essentials 

Motherhood is messy. Having supplies within reach makes dealing with the mess much easier. Spilled milk. Spit up. Leaky boobs. So many bodily fluids...ahhh the magic. :) Thick, quality burp cloths are a necessity to help you through. We love these muslin ones from our favorite, Mebie Baby.

If you are breastfeeding or pumping or feeling engorged, the Haakaa might just become your new "breast" friend. They are great for your let downs and to express milk using the power of natural suction. It's honestly a life saver. 

Nursing pads will be a constant in your life. Disposable pads work well, but having washable, reusable ones on hand will be helpful as well.
