What is in my diaper bag? Well that is a tricky question. On occasion you might find some curdled milk or piece of fruit that has been in there for a few weeks but generally, I try and keep it organized. When he had our first children, someone had given me a messenger bag which was a single strap over the shoulder and while it was camouflage and it kind a give me some instant street cred . It was constantly in a way aside of kind a feeling like I am wearing a purse, it was swinging around the front and the back and bumping that stuff so if there is one thing I would suggest, it would be to go for the backpack. Much easier, hands free. You do not have to wear stuffs swinging around. Aside from the obvious stuffs; diapers, wipes, bottle, and backup bottle. I generally carry few things. I carry some very small toys, something that would occupy kids for the situation where I needed to be quiet or entertain them preferably something without batteries. I also carry a clip . What i realize with the pacifier, it was constantly disappearing instead of me diving around on the sidewalks we had a clip that went to the pacifier to the actual shirt and so if we needed to retrieve it, it was kind like down next to them A thin linen blanket that I can usually double up to keep them warm or in case if it gets windy. I always carry a backup outfit. It was one thing I learn early if you got a blowout or situation where you need to do off to change, you are prepared.
