Toddler Times
Top 12 Toddler Momma Essentials
I carry around a lot of stuff.
Whether you’re standing in line at the post office, sitting in a cubicle, or home all day, there are certain necessities for raising a toddler.
In the early days, I carried a diaper bag that I lovingly selected and filled with infant goodies. Diapers, gentle wipes, a wee rattle toy & a formula dispenser. I always tossed in extra pacis, a change of clothes, and burp cloths, just in case. Sometimes, I even tossed in an extra tshirt for myself – a baby with reflux meant I never knew when we’d need a fresh outfit! Also essential? A good baby swing, the Moby Wrap, & earplugs.
As he grew older, I kept the diapers and wipes, swapped out the burp cloths for a blanket to lay down if needed, and kept a snack cup full of puffs. I carried more toys than pacis and didn’t bother throwing in extra clothes for either one of us. I wore him in the Ergo & we purchased a white noise machine to help him sleep.
Through every stage of life I’ve had a list of essentials, but now I have some for surviving toddlerhood. See how your list compares to mine:
