When your memory isn't at its sharpest, it helps to have a list to take the headache out of quick trips to the mall or friends. We've asked our readers to let us know what they can't do without, and compiled this useful baby changing bag list.
Have an extra bag or backpack packed and ready to use in your car's boot, and remember to replenish any used items when you come back.
