Questions people ask
- How many nappies should I take for a day out?
- One for every two hours you will be out, plus two. That sounds like a lot and then one day it is exactly right.
- What is the most forgotten thing in a changing bag?
- A spare top for the adult carrying the baby. The spare outfit for the baby is always packed; the one for you almost never is.
- How do I keep the bag ready?
- Restock it in the evening, not on the way out. Reset this list each night and you refill from the same list instead of remembering.
