Here\u2019s a list of go-to items:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Diapers:<\/strong> You definitely don\u2019t want to be caught off guard when you realize you don\u2019t have any clean diapers and <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> has a smelly surprise for you. Keep some backups around&nbsp;in case you don\u2019t have time to stock up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wipes:<\/strong> Gotta keep <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> nice and clean! Make sure they are soft, unscented, and alcohol-free so <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they isn\u2019t<\/span> exposed to harsh chemicals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rash cream:<\/strong> Diaper rashes are very common and usually go away in a few days, they\u2019re caused by irritation from new products or excessive exposure to urine or feces. If you notice <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s skin is becoming red or bumpy, this is good to have handy, but it can also be used as a&nbsp;preventive measure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trash can:<\/strong>&nbsp;Diaper genies will wrap non-reusable and non-biodegradable dirty diapers securely in a scented material to reduce the spread of germs and smelly odor. If you use cloth diapers, a trash can is still helpful, but as an added measure, save your plastic grocery or shopping bags for trash can liners.&nbsp;This makes it easier&nbsp;for you to&nbsp;carry cloth diapers to the washing machine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toys, a mobile, or a binky:<\/strong> <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> doesn\u2019t enjoy diaper changes any more than you do, so keep <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> distracted with something so <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they doesn\u2019t<\/span> wriggle away from you! When <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they starts<\/span> teething around 5 months, a pacifier could be useful to keep <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> calm. Make sure everything you give <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> is clean and stored away from the trash bin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hand sanitizer or hand wipes:<\/strong> You\u2019re supposed to wash your hands after every diaper change, but you might not have the opportunity to get to the bathroom, so keep some hand sanitizer at your changing table and in your diaper bag.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Changing table pads:<\/strong> In case diaper changes get super messy, keep a replacement waterproof pad nearby.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;re about to have another butt to wipe besides your own, so you&#8217;re going to want to make sure you have a fully
