What to Pack for Baby’s First Trip Outside the House
That first trip outside the house with your baby—whether it’s a short walk, a doctor’s visit, or meeting loved ones—is a big moment. You’ll want to feel prepared without lugging around the entire nursery.
Here’s what to pop into your changing bag before you head out:
1. Nappies (at Least 3)
Always pack a few extra in case you’re delayed or baby has a blowout.
2. Wipes & Changing Mat
A travel-sized pack of wipes and a foldable mat are lifesavers for on-the-go changes.
3. Two Outfit Changes
Babies are unpredictable—spit-up and leaks happen. Bring two clean babygrows or vests and a spare hat.
4. Feeding Supplies
If you’re bottle-feeding, pack sterilised bottles and formula. If you’re breastfeeding, consider bringing breast pads and a muslin cloth for comfort.
5. Blanket or Muslin Swaddle
A lightweight blanket is handy for keeping baby warm or shielding them from wind or sun.
6. Soothing Toy or Dummy (Optional)
Some babies are comforted by a small toy, teether, or dummy while out.
💡 U L L U V T I P: Our changing bags are practical and pretty, with space for everything you need and nothing you don’t.
