Mom Tip: Diaper Changing Caddy

Several times during my nesting stage, I was constantly looking for new projects and methods in which I could incorporate to prepare for the arrival of my little bundle of joy. Thanks to tips and suggestions from friends, family and social media, I quickly realized the need for as much as possible to be within arm’s reach; starting with diapers.

Of course one of the first projects that nesting mothers tackle first is the nursery. Everything from the paint color on the walls, to the assembly of the crib and organization of the changing table is planned out. However, I failed to acknowledge the thought that my newborn would hardly be spending anytime in his nursery, due to the fact that he would be sleeping in his pack and play at my bedside.

Needless to say, that since my newborn was to be in the room with me, it hardly made sense that I would be traveling from my room to his nursery in the middle of the night to change a soiled diaper! Thus the need for my Diaper Changing Caddy!

Simply put, it is a caddy/kit of all the basic needs for baby’s diaper changes; in my room, no more than two feet from the pack and play. Moreover, I have an additional caddy set up in the family room of my house!

In the caddy I have:

1. At least 30 diapers
2. Pack of wipes ( wipes warmer in master bedroom)
3. Reuseable Changing Pad Liner
4. Desitin Diaper Rash ointment
5. Tube of Vasoline 
6. Baby lotion
7. 3 receiving blankets

All stored in a decorative storage bin.

My Diaper Changing Caddies are one of my many projects that I rely on and use the most. Since there is no need to run throughout the house, nor to scramble and search around for items,  I am able to spend more time and attention where it matters most!
