I honestly believe a nappy caddy is simply the most versatile piece for any parenting journey! I thought I would share some of the many ways from birth and beyond that this caddy can offer. 

I didn’t originally purchase a caddy before we had Scarlett but quickly realised how handy it can be. I started with a basket (total nesting stage of re-organising my entire home before she was born!) and I thought this basket would ‘work’ in the living room. I think by day 5 of being home it was swiftly removed after exploding with very little organisation!

On a late night mid feed phone scroll I actually purchased a Nestling Nappy Caddy. (This was when I did not own A+O) The caddy quickly became one of the best purchases. In the early days, we kept everything from nappies, wipes, burp cloths, change of clothes for Scarlett, my post-c-section pain relief meds and my drink bottle. The caddy can go from room to room wherever you and bubs go with its handy 2 handles.

The Nestling caddy has a 3-compartment insert which is included, which you can take out if not needed down the track. 

I’ll share below the multi-use ways your caddy will stick around your home for years to come. 

 

Labour/ Post Birth Caddy

For hospital or home births, have everything right beside you or close by.  A compartment for Mum, bubs + anything in between! It’s an easy one to have bedside wherever your birth is, or to store close by and pop on the bed when essentials are needed. 

 

Feeding & Changing

Long nights are made easier with the comforts to get you through. Feeding, changing bubs & mums essentials. Picture your drink bottle, Silverette cups, Lactamo Ball (if breastfeeding) or your Missta Bottle + formula dispenser ready to make a bottle in seconds. 

 

Nursery Essential

We still to this day with our 2.5-year-old who is daytime toilet trained have her night nappies, wipes + cream in one compartment, underwear and hair accessories in the other. Keep it under your change table, in the wardrobe or on a shelf for easy access to day or night. 

 

Pram/Car Storage

We have a second caddy for the car. (This is by all means not necessary but it highlights another great use for it) 

Our car caddy stores a change of clothes, a set of PJs, nappies, wipes, a wet bag and some sealed snacks. This has also been super handy if we are at Grandparents’ for dinner and bathtime is done there we have everything we need without repacking & overloading a nappy bag. The caddy sits perfectly in the footwell of the car underneath the car seats or in the boot. 

The caddy also fits well under prams in the storage area. If you're heading out on a walk and want something that you can easily grab what you need then a caddy is the answer! Sometimes trying to find a dummy with a tired bub can be a nightmare in a nappy bag, but with the open top on the caddy, this can be super handy in those times! 

 

Toys/Wardrobe Storage 

Once you're finished using the caddy as a day-to-day thing, as said previously the insert can come out. It’s a great size to store clothes in a wardrobe, or toys! It looks super cute with special soft toys inside, heads poking out! 

 

This caddy is truly a multi-use item and was a parenting ‘hack’ game-changer for us! 

 

The Nestling Caddy is available in three beautiful colours, Dark Natural Melange, White & Grey. It retails for $69.00
