3 Mommy Style Hacks
This posting was sponsored by HUGGIES and Sam’s Club and I was compensated to write it. Regardless, what I have written in my own opinion and experience and I hope you find it of use.
Babies require a TON of gear. I can clearly recall with my first baby loading up a cheesy baby styled diaper bag with everything (plus the kitchen sink). It was heavy, cumbersome, and oh-so-tacky! By my second baby I wised up and now, with baby #5, I’m down to bare essentials and packing in style! Here are my tips to help disguise the “new mommy” look.
3 Mommy Style Hacks
Multi-Purpose Jewelry – Skip your fragile and dainty necklaces for a season while your baby is going through that “gotta grab everything in site” stage. Instead, pick thick, chunky styles that will capture their attention and will not easily break when they grab at your necklace or bracelet. You can look for specific nursing mom styles if they fit your personality, or just browse store selections for chunky pieces that are made to withstand some tension. This will give your baby a built-in toy to eliminate the extra “stuff” and let you still feel confident and dolled up!
Use a Diaper + Wipes Clutch – HUGGIES makes a really cute wipes Clutch that comes with some of their select mega wipes packages or sold with one set of refills. They come in adorable styles that can fit with your preferences and you can really easily use a mommy hack to add a diaper or two right inside the clutch to make it hold both diapers and wipes in one!
Best of all, this creates a super easy grab-n-go bag for quick trips or for when you need to head to handle a diaper change. HUGGIES adorable CLUTCH ‘N’ CLEAN wipes containers are a perfect way to carry your baby gear without having to sacrifice your style.
Oh I love these! Those wipes are adorable too.
Oooh, always have to have one in my bag. So helpful.
love these tips! I love using a bag that’s MINE! I never went the traditional bag route with babies- I wanted something to go with me- like my Huggies clutch- I have the striped one and I love it!
My kids are older and I still love to carry around hand wipes. This looks like a nice case, very stylish and so convenient. I need something like that to keep in my big purse.

I love the wipes clutch and have one for ME now that the boys are past the diapering stage. And, if we are ever blessed with another child I know I’m going for the big handbag that doubles as a diaper bag.
I always skipped the diaper bag and just used a big purse. So much more stylish and some purses out there have great pockets!
Those buggies cases are so cute! I had no idea they made them so fashionable.
I remember the first diaper bag too! We used the ugly one from the hospital and packed it full! By the 3rd baby, I was using a tote bag and skipped the jewelry altogether. I love these wipe clutches. Super chic!
That is absolutely the coolest. I didn’t have anything nearly that stylish when my son was a baby.
We use Huggies wipes, and I absolutely love that they have the Clutch ‘N Clean wipes container. It really helps saves space the diaper bag or my giant purse. It is much easier to carry that around as opposed to the big wipes container or using a zip lock baggie.
I love these wipes packages, and though my kids are grown – I still use them all the time. Love the patterns!
That diaper/wipe clutch is adorable! I remember when my niece and nephew were babies. My sister had this huge bulky thing that was just atrocious.
Love the idea of using a wipe clutch! Love the cute striped design!
I absolutely love the wipes clutch! They look so cute and the handle makes it so much easier to find it and get a hold of it in the diaper bag!
We have used the Huggies wipes clutch. It is nice to have but it didn’t last us long. When refilling the clutch with new wipes the clutch seal opening and closing thing ripped. One big purse used as both diaper bag and purse is a great idea.
My purse is huge. I jokingly call it my suitcase, but I need a big bag with all the stuff I have to carry around.
I love using teething jewelry for baby, stuff they can play with that is safe. Awesome tips!
