What Should You Put in Your Diaper Bag?

When you have a baby, you will always have a diaper bag wherever you go. When you go out with your baby, it’s important to be prepared! I recommend buying a backpack diaper bag so you don’t have to worry about throwing your shoulder out carrying a duffle style dipaer bag, you’ll also be able to easily use both hands while wearing it.
