Baby Bug-Out Bag

DW breastfed our son too. Definately the way to go. He's done now, has been for a while (he's 17 months) but we agreed early on she'd try and it worked out really well.

We're all done with baby's and none of our kids are talking about kids of their own yet.

some people might consider my suggestion for a baby BOB, a little odd, but here goes. I would include a small bottle of whiskey. when my kids were babies, if I didn't have ear ache medicine, I used a drop of whiskey in the ear. it disinfected, and relieved pain. Teething baby???--whiskey rubbed on the gums. worked everytime. Also, in an emergency, if no other disinfectant is around, whiskey to the rescue.

Lastly, here's some medical advice.. if you've been up all night with a sick baby, several slugs of 100 proof drank sparingly by father will ease pain somewhat---I did say somewhat....

Great ideas, cant go wrong with taken care of the little ones. My boys are 4 and 6 so it be a little easier setting up something for them to carry there self.

Didn't we discuss in this thread or another about stocking up on diapers and baby needs even if you don't have one just in the event one should appear. Might make great barter items also.
I am so old I can't remember where babies come from.

I'd be lost without my sling. I think most parents who use one will have a sling or carrier with them most of the time, but as with any emergency, you should have whatever style you like with your BOkit. Thanks for remembering the little ones.

If you exclusively breast feed, you can run into problems with giving the baby formula. This past summer my daughter started college and had been just breastfeeding and low and behold he would not take a bottle not even breast milk. Was a very long day, so if you do breast feed do supplement with formula or bottled breast milk once in a while to be on the safe side.

Might want to get a sling for small ones they are really handy and you don't have to hold the baby all the time.
