Veronika’s reached an age (just shy of 2 months!) where she might actually need a little entertainment on trips away from home, rather than remaining content simply staring (or sleeping). Enter in this perfect solution:

Keep a zip-top plastic bag in your purse or diaper bag, filled with two to three small toys.

You can rotate these options frequently, to keep things interesting, but it means you’ll always have something on hand to dazzle the eyes and ears if the need arises.

Suggestions include rattles, toys that crinkle, or ones that squeak.

We love this new light-up teether!

You could also add a small, lightweight book to your pouch, if it fits.

Veronika loved her little kit!

Whatever you pick, keep the baggie in your purse and you’ll never be caught empty-handed.
