Changing the baby - do I have everything I need?

[wondering7777]

I have bought the following:

• Nappies (size 1 and 2)
• Two changing mats (one for home and one portable mat for when we're out)
• Water wipes
• Cotton wool balls
• A tube of Weleda Calendula nappy cream.

Is there anything else you need or is that all?

Maybe it depends on the make of your balls. I just went for pads entirely after the first few weeks because of bum fluff. Also, the bags of pads are smaller and more portable- I used to carry a bottle of water in the nappy bag in case of changing somewhere without a sink. I did use water wipes once DD was older, though found that they leak everywhere if you don't replace the flap exactly right. So many clean nappies got ruined that way.
