Baby Spitup Hack #4: Recycle Gift Bags

Use the rising popularity of gift bags to your advantage!

Whether a portable receptacle for dirty bibs or burpers, or the perfect mechanism to house your baby's reflux journal, you don't throw away or re-gift-bag your collection after a holiday or birthday. 

• As a reusable waste basket, the sturdy design and built-in string handle creates a reliable garbage pail you can take with you or hang on a convenient doorknob. It can also house spit-on clothes (baby's or your's) temporarily before it hits the washing machine. 

• For a helpful reflux journal to track your baby's behavior and triggers, simply tape a piece of paper on the front to log the day's events. You can hang this in a convenient location or take with you to keep consistent records. Keep past records by placing the logs in the inside portion of the bag so they're in one place on your next trip to the doc. 
  

I got this idea from creating a "potty chart" for my older son, where I stored stickers in the interior and taped his charts on the front. It helped that it was his fun Cars character!


How else can you re-use gift bags to make your present state much simpler?
