Ahh the joys of the Diaper bag. This is the most important accessory in your life from the moment your child comes home from the hospital, until potty training has been completed at least! So the most important thing I can say about the Diaper bag is.... Make sure you love it! You will maybe try to continue to carry a purse, but you will slowly phase it out because its one more thing you will have to keep track of, and trust me, there will already be a lot.
I have to say there are some really cute Diaper bags out there. You have so many choices to choose, from waterproof, to paisley print, and so much more. Now you can definitely have more than one, but in the long run, you will more than likely choose one that you absolutely love and fits your every need. My sister literally put tons of stuff in my nephews Diaper bag. She had multiple changes of clothes, formula containers, wipes, diapers, pacifiers, etc. A lot of people would laugh at the huge bag she carried around, but she always made use of it. Now I'm not saying you need multiple changes of clothes, but one is always good, especially if your child is prone to spitting up, or in the process of potty training. The Diaper bag will feel like the black hole where everything goes, and can no longer be found, along with the stray McDonald's toy that makes annoying noises!
Just remember, when leaving the house with a baby the most important accessories you absolutely need is a diaper and wipes. Everything else comes in second! These days every gas station, convenience store, etc. has everything you need, but its so much quicker to have it on hand. The family I was a nanny for the longest, who I fell in love with, had a mini van, and even though I am not a fan of mini vans, there are great little hidden compartments in them where you can stuff emergency supplies like diapers, wipes, clothes, bottles, etc. Trust me, these hidden compartments come in handy!
Back to the diaper bag. There are literally thousands of diaper bags for every woman or mans needs. My new favorite is the diaper clutch, which holds diapers wipes and anything else you may be able to get inside there. So cute! I recently came across a site which has the Top 10 Diaper bags at http://pregnant.thebump.com/baby-products/diaper-bags/slideshows/the-bump-top-10-diaper-bags.aspx and you should definitely check them out. Also, my all time favorite brand which comes with tons of choices of bags, and styles, is Petunia Pickle Bottom found here, http://www.petunia.com/bags which is shown in my picture above!
Hope you realize how cute, and necessary a diaper bag can be!
Enjoy!
