OH SH!T Baby Shower Gift: The best thing to give a new mommy!

So we've all been there: out & about with the 

family having a great time and then it happens...the oldest throws a fit (he's still under 5) and spills his entire water bottle on himself and the youngest pees through his diaper...yet again 😒

One of the best things I have ever Pinned on Pinterest was the "OH CRAP BAG". Sadly the website is not longer working but the lady was a genius! Another lady made her own version of the "Oh Crap" bag but although her way is cute too, I liked the first one I saw that no longer works. Both ladies are very smart and here is the newer version: http://www.diaperswappers.com/diaper-blog/the-oh-crap-bag-and-why-its-a-perfect-baby-shower-gift

So the idea behind the bag was to have those items for your baby, kids and yourself  in your car in the event that you might need them. Items like a few extra diapers, a thing of wipes, change of clothes, etc. As a shower gift, she would place a few diapers of a certain size in a gallon size plastic bag with an outfit in a certain size, seal it and write on the bag the sizes of both diapers and clothes. Simple and easy to see in those moments you need a diaper or clothes and do not have them in your diaper bag or you have used up your back ups. This bag is your back-ups back up 👍

Inside the Oh Sh!t bag

I did diaper sizes 2 to 5, along with clothing sizes 0-3 Months, 3 Months, 6-9 Months and 12 Months. Each bag is clearly labeled for the new mommy to find what it is she needs.

Label on each bag: Diaper size and Clothing size

0-3 bodysuit with size 2 diapers

0-3 sleeper

First bag done!

3 month body suit with size 3 diapers

3 month sleeper

Second bag done!

6-9 bodysuit with size 4 diapers

6 month sleeper

12 month bodysuit with size 5 diapers

All 4 bags done! Now of course a baby in size 6 month clothing won't be in size 4 diapers but the point of this bag is to help the mom be prepared for the worst. I have a bag like this myself and I have used it so many times!

I also included some extras she may need: a pad (hey it's always a good idea to have a back up in the car!), a small First Aid kit, lotion, Clorox wipes, Germ X, lint roller, tissues, chap-stick and two pacifiers.

Everything all ready to be packed!

I put it in a cheap reusable Walmart bag but you can use any bag you like to keep everything in the car. 

Tried making the bag look cute by adding a bow in the same shade of blue

Now other items for her to add to it are things like her kids favorite snacks (non perishable, duh), extra underwear for her toddler, sunscreen, a sippy cup for her toddler, a blanket, etc. Honestly the list can go on and on depending on the needs and wants for her family.

I also made her a crochet baby blanket and put it all together in a plain blue gift bag decorated with baby stickers to make it stand out.

Mommy to be opening it up.

She loved it! I was so nervous she wouldn't like it but it got a great response! It is the best thing for any mom or dad, you can never be too prepared when it comes to kids.
