You should always be prepared. Start training your little one to use the bathroom when the need arises, and not just to rely on diapers. You have to think fast and be innovative when the need arises.

3. Packing a baby bag
When you have your baby in tow when you go out, you have to expect the unexpected incidents, like accidental spit-ups and throw-ups, milk spills, and wet and soiled diapers; so you need all the basic necessities inside the baby bag. You have to anticipate all possible emergencies so you will know what you need to pack.
Among those baby essentials that should be inside your baby bag are the following: A pack of six to ten disposable diapers, two to three pieces of changing clothes, a changing mat, baby wipes, hand sanitizer gel to kkep your hands clean before and after a nappy change, feeding bottles, and bibs.
Also disposable plastic bags to seal in disposable diapers before throwing out. A baby bag also won't be complete without a cute baby blanket to wrap your baby or to cover any surface where you need to put your baby down.
4. Breastfeeding in public
Before going out, you have to practice first in your home the position of your baby if you try to breastfeed him in public. Second, wear clothing that gives you "easy access" like a button down dress or blouse and a tie-strap top. Also a layered look will definitely be of great use for cover ups when breastfeeding.
Third, look around and try to find an area where it is not that crowded and too open or exposed to others. Fourth, have a wrap, shawl, or baby blanket and throw it around you to keep your breastfeeding private. Some malls today have nursing and breastfeeding rooms where you can use for added security. - 30224
