Many parents already have a form of EDC for their babies in the form of a diaper bag. A BOB for your baby is really no different. The only real difference for us is the bag we use. We found that most diaper bags on the market are not build for heavy use. So we opt for a small backpack to carry all our son's necessities. Extra diapers, formula, bottles, clothes, medication, blankets and toys. We take bottled water and powdered formula instead of already made bottles. Since most parents are used to carrying this already, it should be a very easy practice to get into.
Now an area that seems to be overlooked is a kit for your pets. Our dog pulls his own weight in our survival planning. He has his own backpack that contains his own water, food and cup for eating and drinking. It works out very well and takes some load off of us. This may not work for you, but it's an example of what can be done. Be mindful of the weight your pet can carry comfortably and safely. Remember your pet is your friend not your workhorse.
