But, after having Niko, I feel as though my perfectionist and OCD tendencies have sky-rocketed. My life literally feels like it is spinning out of control when things are out of place. That is why 99% of the time my diaper bag is perfection and everything is in it's place; it is the <i>only</i> thing that I have full control over, <i>at all times</i>. This diaper bag is our saving grace and is jam-packed and bursting at the seams with every last possible thing you could ever need.<br /> <br /> As you prepare for your little one, let me help you take away the stress of trying to make a mental list of everything you may need for your own diaper bag. Use this little check list and put your mind at ease!<br /> <br /> • 10ish <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pampers-Swaddlers-Diaper-Giant-Count/dp/B00DFFT5IU/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1461952579&sr=1-5&keywords=pampers+swaddlers">Pampers Swaddlers</a> Diapers<br /> • A pack of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pampers-Sensitive-Wipes-Box-Count/dp/B005DLCJX2">Pampers Sensitive Wipes</a><br /> • A changing pad<br /> <div> • <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Hammer-Diaper-Dispenser-Colors/dp/B001QKDI48/ref=sr_1_3_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1461952633&sr=1-3&keywords=arm+and+hammer+diaper+bag">Munchkin Arm & Hammer Diaper Bags</a><br /> <div> • <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Boudreauxs-Butt-Paste-Ointment-Original/dp/B00B8ZZDGC/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1461954160&sr=8-1&keywords=butt+paste+2+oz">Boudreaux's Butt Paste</a> </div> <div> • <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Aquaphor-Baby-Healing-Ointment-85/dp/B00005BRE0/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1461954184&sr=8-3&keywords=baby+aquafor">Baby Aquafor </a></div> • 1-2 outfit changes<br /> • A pair of jammies<br /> • A pair of socks</div> <div> • An <a href="https://www.adenandanais.com/swaddles/swaddles/">aden + anais</a> swaddling blanket</div> <div> • A pair of baby sunnies</div> <div> <div> • 2-3 bibs</div> <div> • 2-3 baby spoons [<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Graduates-Spoons-Assorted-5-count/dp/B007LKFW7I">these are our favorites</a>]</div> <div> • 2-3 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_9?url=search-alias%3Dbaby-products&field-keywords=plum+food+pouches&sprefix=plum+food%2Cbaby-products%2C125">Plum Organics</a> food pouches [Niko's favorite flavors are: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Plum-Organics-Second-Raspberry-Spinach/dp/B007WP438Q/ref=sr_1_3_s_it?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1461952993&sr=1-3&keywords=plum+food+pouches">Raspberry, Spinach & Greek Yogurt</a>; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Plum-Organics-Second-Blends-Variety/dp/B00PDN097S/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1461952993&sr=1-1&keywords=plum+food+pouches">Blueberry, Pear, & Purple Carrot;
