Do you carry a diaper bag?

nadiag7 · April 2013

Being a new mom who's exclusively breastfeeding, when I are out & about I often wonder why I carry a big, bulky diaper bag! All I really need is a spare change of clothes, diapers, & wipes for my little one... So do any mommies here ditch the diaper bag to carry a clutch or even just a purse? And if you do, how do you do it/what do you carry?

I still carry a diaper bag...

Along with the change of clothes, diapers, and wipes (we CD so it's a bit bulkier I suppose), I also usually have a receiving blanket (to cover while nursing in public, or use if LO is cold), an extra paci or two, an

I only really take the diaper bag with me if we're going to be somewhere for a while. If we're just running to the store I'll leave it in the car. I only keep diapers, wipes, a change of clothes, a receiving blanket, and an extra pacifier i

I always bring the diaper bag with me but leave it in the vehicle most of the time. I have started bringing it in more now because he doesn't sleep as much and might need more entertainment.

I carry a really small one. It just has the essentials and most of the time we don't even need it for short errands.

I carry a diaper bag purse - which is pretty much a big purse with pockets.

I've always just use a backpack (with a travel diaper changing kit w/3 extra diapers, wipes, beanie and onsie) and the arm straps hang on the stroller nicely, so I can be hands free for LO. And I leave another set of the same items + a beach towel i

I usually take it but leave it in the car. If I need to I will sometimes taking her changing pad that also carries diapers and wipes and will just use that as long as she hasn't leaked, but I have been caught off guard a couple times where she leake
