Diaper bags tips

• 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.

• Pack plenty of diapers. You'll want one for about every two hours you plan to be out. Pack a few extra in case of diarrhea

• When choosing a blanket, keep the weather conditions in mind

• If you have a habit of forgetting keys, pack an extra set in the diaper bag to keep with you. This is also good if you have a car that auto-locks when the driver's door shuts. You may have grabbed the bag and not the baby, yet, so you can still get him out of the car.

• If you know your child has allergies, keep a liquid antihistamine in the bag.

• You never know when you're going to want to snap a shot of a precious moment, so keep a camera in the bag.

• a diaper bag has to be designed to hold all the essentials and more

• 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.
