Diaper Bags |
By Robin Elise Weiss (From About.com)
Your diaper bag will become your best friend after
your baby is born. This is where you'll store everything you could
possibly need for your baby and it's available in a moment's
notice. Learning how to find the right diaper bag for you isn't
hard, it just takes a bit of research. Learn more about the types
of diaper bags available.
Big or small?
The size does matter in this case. Ask yourself
will you be going places for long periods of time? Like to day
care or on over night trips, for example. Some people prefer to
have one of each.
Back back or shoulder strap?
While most diaper bags come with a shoulder
strap, more and more are coming in back pack form. This is
great for hands free care of your baby.
Breast or bottle?
Breastfeeding will generally require less
space because you won't need to store bottles, formula and
the like. So some breastfeeding moms prefer a small bag,
though this isn't always true. If dad or another care giver
is using a bottle for some mommy-free time you may wish to
think about bottle holders for that purpose.
Cloth or disposable?
This might not be something you thought
about, however, cloth diapers will require more room in a
diaper bag, both the clean and the dirty. Be sure to look
for a large bag to store dirty diapers, or at least enough
room to bring them home with you.
Gender Issues
Some men simply don't care, but others
wouldn't be caught dead with anything that looked like a
diaper bag. There are some newer models out that are less
obvious. This also includes women who prefer the business or
sportier look to their diaper bag. These new models are
simply more stylish than their practical counterparts, but
most are comparable in size and capacity.
