I like to be able to attach it to the stroller, so I like bags with stroller clips. I also don't carry diapers in my diaper bag (they're in a separate changing station) so I can get away with carrying a lot less.</p> <p>The best thing I ever did was gather everything I wanted to carry and lay it out in the dimensions of the bags I was considering. It narrowed down my choices super quick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-52749 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 11:54:05 +0000 CameronsMomma 52749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MegWag: I think a large bag would work fine... my diaper bag was only 25$ from walmart though and my purse is Fox Racing, so I don't want to hurt my purse as it's already getting to be in pretty rough shape! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-52574 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:49:52 +0000 heffalump 52574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MegWag: My diaper bag isn't a real diaper bag. It's from 31, the Organizing Utility Tote (L on this page of the catalogue). <a href="http://www.thirtyonegifts.com/catalog/page2_3" rel="nofollow">http://www.thirtyonegifts.com/catalog/page2_3</a></p> <p>I love it. It's huge, so it fits a lot. And there are lots of pockets on the outside so you can easily find things in a hurry. Plus it's cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-52517 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 18:29:11 +0000 Andrea 52517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MegWag: I feel like any large bag with enough compartments and is easily cleaned if something spills would definitely work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-52502 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:25:58 +0000 MegWag 52502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you guys feel like it's really necessary to have an actual diaper bag, or would any bigish bag with compartments work just as well?<br /> They all seem stupidly expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-52467 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:37:28 +0000 MsMamaBear 52467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A change of clothes<br /> diapers<br /> wipes<br /> extra clothes<br /> milk<br /> disposable changing pad<br /> Sophie the Giraffe</p> <p>I still carry my purse, but it's becoming too much!

Mine now has:</p> <p>Pacifier wipes<br /> Wipes in a plastic case<br /> 6 diapers<br /> 2 outfits<br /> A blanket<br /> Change pad (waterproof) and a slightly larger material change pad<br /> 2 pacis in ziplocks<br /> And tissues.</p> <p>I need to rememer to add some lipgloss, plastic bags, gloves (it'll still be winter here) and my wallet which is going to end up being a wristlet wallet very soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-49742 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:19:05 +0000 heffalump 49742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Is there a reason you want to keep things seperate? </p> <p>For me it makes more sense to have it together just because I'm pretty much always with the baby. If I worked I'd probably want to keep my own stuff in it's place. Also, I didn't carry a purse before. I just had a wrist wallet, so it's easy to throw in the diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-49730 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 08:43:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 49730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much what everyone has posted: </p> <p>- 2-3 diapers, more if out all day<br /> - Flat wipe case with extras stored in the car<br /> - Pacifier in zip lock bag<br /> - Old grocery store plastic bags for dirty diapers<br /> - Mini travel bottle of J&amp;J soap w/ a small wash cloth (in case of blow out or something)<br /> - Changing Pad<br /> - Muslin A+A blanket<br /> - Change of outfit for baby<br /> - Extra baby socks<br /> - Small toy or teather </p> <p>For Mom:<br /> - Wallet<br /> - Phone<br /> - Keys<br /> - Nursing Cover<br /> - Disposable breast pads<br /> - panty liners<br /> - Hand sanitizer attached to strap<br /> -Extra tshirt stored in car </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-49693 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:07:29 +0000 looch 49693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep my stuff separate from my son's stuff, only because I travel a lot on public transportation and if I ever have to leave my stroller, I don't want to have to pull out my wallet, phone and keys. I carry a small cross body bag that has all my stuff in it. That always stays on me. I keep a diaper changing pod in the bottom of the stroller, so I always have a few diapers, wipes and a changing pad.</p> <p>In my diaper bag, when I even bring one for my son aged 1, I pack:<br /> Change of clothes plus extra socks<br /> spit rag/burp cloth<br /> plastic bag for garbage<br /> food bag, containing whatever he's eating in the next meal<br /> huge bib, because my son is starting to feed himself<br /> pacifier wipes, that I use as face wipes<br /> toys, books, amusement items </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-49618 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:06:42 +0000 chopsuey 49618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I tried it and it was such a pain to carry 2 bags. I have a kate spade black messenger diaper bag that feels/looks like a purse I'd carry so it works well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-49614 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:58:51 +0000 Mrsbells 49614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to keep a purse separate from the diaper bag.

My husband always complains about how big the bag is... but I always have whatever we need no matter what, and no matter the weather. I do like summer better because I don't have to carry around a jacket, pants, and long sleeves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-49609 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:53:41 +0000 chopsuey 49609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: yep! I no longer carry a purse. I have a wristlet (i have driver's license, key, mini antibac, and 2 ccs and costco membership in it) that I put in my diaper bag along with everything else I need. When I go to the market, I'll leave my diaper bag in the car and just go in with the wristlet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-49601 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:44:26 +0000 Rubies 49601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: LOL...Crazy person :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-49597 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:38:59 +0000 Nskillet 49597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your diaper bag just replace your purse? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-49593 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:21:40 +0000 chopsuey 49593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's 9 months old.

When I stay in the neighborhood with Charlie, I don't even take a diaper bag. Otherwise here's what's in my diaper bag:</p> <p>For Charlie:<br /> - diapers<br /> - wipes<br /> - snacks</p> <p>For Olive:<br /> - diapers<br /> - wipes<br /> - change of clothes<br /> - disposable changing pad<br /> - burp cloth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-diaper-bag#post-49525 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:13:53 +0000 CameronsMomma 49525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just like the title says, what's in your diaper bag? I'm trying to get mine packed before Cameron gets here but all I've got in it are a flat travel pack of wipes, and hand/face wipes. I plan on adding 3-4 diapers, and a change or two of clothes, plus a plastic bagg or two just incase the diapers stink, or I need to change his clothes. </p>
