What's in your Nappy Caddy?
What to put in a Nappy Caddy?
This is a question I had Googled a lot when I became a mum for the first time because there was always something else I felt that needed to be there as the weeks went on. Talking from my own experience, I have listed down a few things depending on the age of your little one/(s).
Newborn
The significance of a nappy caddy goes further than just tidiness and convenience when you first bring your magical mini human home. For me, I had significantly reduced mobility following my emergency c-section so mastering a few steps was pretty much all I could do. Having my nappy caddy stacked with everything I needed close by really helped. Like a lot.
Here are a few things that I found useful in my nappy caddy in the first few months:
Nappies (of course) |
Sensitive Wipes |
Barrier Cream |
Bio Nappy Sacks |
Mustella Water Mist |
Baby Powder |
Muslins |
Bibs |
Baby Bottle |
Vests & Sleepsuits |
Teether |
Meds & Lotions |
Thermal Bottle / Flask |
Nipple Cream |
Nipple Pads |
Sanitary Pads |
Tissues |
Breast Pump & Bags |
Sanitizer |
Sweets (for energy) |
Wireless nightlight |
Thermometer | Phone Charger | Small Blanket |
I found it useful to have a phone charger stashed in there. When I was alone at home and found the stairs too much, it came in handy many times.
One Year +
I would say relatively not much changed other than being cautious about the medication that was in there as little hands are now into everything. I was no longer breastfeeding so replacing with drink cups or bottles.
You’ll be surprised how handy the tampons come in if you stash a couple in there too!
Other things to add at this age:
Ultimately, you make these caddy’s your own. You stock them with what you find useful as a parent, and as parents, we all like to do it a little differently ✨
