Parent tip-of-the-week: Mini bag for your car

If you are like many parents, you received a mini diaper bag for a baby gift. However, it seems when you first start out, all of that 'stuff' just won't fit in such a little bag, even for a quick trip. You can still put those mini bags to good use. Stock a mini bag with 2-3 diapers, wipes (stored in a ziploc bag so they don't dry out), onesie, receiving blanket, change of clothes and a plastic bag. You can also include a pacifier and empty bottle if baby uses them, or any other necessity you may need away from home. Breastfeeding moms may want to include nursing pads. Now stash this bag in your car, truck or van for emergencies. You don't have to worry about running out of diapers or having a messy outfit without a change of clothes. We have a bag in each of our vehicles and they have come in handy on many occasions. Just don't forget to change out clothing and diaper sizes and baby grows!
