Meltdown-Free Walmart trips - The Diaper Bag

The Diaper Bag

1. Pack good, fresh, non-wipe-needing snacks for all members of your Crew - snacks that consist of regular nibble food and a treat for later, a full sippy cup plus a bottle of water for you (you'll work up a sweat, trust me).

2. Pack wipes - enough for your whole crew and you. 
(This is essential.  Trust me.  I've had little Blossom poopy on my good Packer jacket sleeve.  Gah.  Wipes really are wonderful!)

3. Rotate your diaper bag toys, meaning variety is your friend.
If the same rattles have been in there for as long as the extra outfit from last season has, it is time to change it up.

4. Pack sufficient undergarments for the ages and potty ability level of your children (diapers, pull-ups, panties, etc.)

5. Pack an extra outfit for the youngest member of your crew.

Bonus: Keep your diaper bag packed always.  Then, you've got it altogether and you're ready for just about anything!
