What To Pack in Your Minimalist Diaper Bag
Getting out the door with your little one can be a challenge – especially for new parents. This often leads to overpacking a big, bulky diaper bag that's not only inconvenient to carry around, but also makes it harder to find the things you need while in the moment.

In this series, we’ve compiled lists of what we think are the most important items to pack in your diaper bag that you can use as your jumping off point.
