Even the simplest thing can save the day, or ruin it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we\u2019ve put together our list of essential items for your nanny bag:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Nappies &amp; Nappy Bags <\/strong>\u2013 We\u2019ll start with the obvious. If your child is in nappies, <strong>do not<\/strong> leave them behind! This can really ruin a day out; even a quick trip to the local park or shops can be disastrous without them. And don\u2019t forget the nappy rash cream!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baby Wipes <\/strong>\u2013 Even if your children are older, baby wipes will <strong>always <\/strong>come in handy for cleaning up sticky fingers and faces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tissues <\/strong>\u2013 You always need one when you don\u2019t have any, especially during cold and flu season.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Infant Paracetamol or Ibuprofen <\/strong>\u2013 Essential if your little one develops a sudden temperature or headache.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weather Appropriate Clothing <\/strong>\u2013 Woolly hats, gloves and scarves or sunhats, sunglasses and sunscreen. Whatever, the weather, be prepared!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bottled Water\/Baby Bottles <\/strong>\u2013 Essential for longer journeys.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toys\/Teething Toys <\/strong>\u2013 If you have a teething baby, a nice cool teether or teething gel will help to keep them calm and happy, whilst a child\u2019s favourite toy can be enough to keep them occupied, even if only for a short while; perfect if you\u2019re waiting for an appointment or having lunch at a busy restaurant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hand Sanitiser<\/strong> \u2013 Because all children like to play with things they shouldn\u2019t.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change of Clothes<\/strong> \u2013 For everyone, depending on the activity but mostly necessary for children who are potty training.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Snacks <\/strong>\u2013 A tasty, healthy treat can help to pick your child up after a hard day or if their mood is lulling between meals. A quick break and an energy spike can really help improve the day for everyone involved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep your nanny bag topped up and never leave without it!<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any other nanny bag essentials we\u2019ve missed from our list?
