As a breastfeeding mother, all I needed was a small bag to be out with baby.  Just about any bag can be turned into a baby diaper bag.  I personally love using bags that look stylish and are not of baby-like colours.  The one I loved carrying the most when our youngest was a baby, was black messenger bag with shoulder straps and I use it for work as well.  The other favourite I had was a backpack like the one in the photo below, that just looks like any other fashionable ladies backpack!  No *hint* of it holding diapers and baby stuff !

What's in the bag?

1.  Wet Baby Wipes.
I buy the thin travel packs, and look for those which are nice, soft & thick, and have a resealable cover.

2.  Diapers.
I use the thinnest that I can find.  These are either the Ultra-Slim Huggies' Brand or similar - there are quite a fair bit of choices in the stores these days!  Even 4 or 5 of these diapers do not take up much space in the baby bag because they are so very thin!

3.  Waterproof Baby Changing Mat.
This came with a baby bag that I earlier had - a Land's End Mini Tripper, so I just used this because it's just the right size!  Now, you could probably find similar baby changing mats sold without the diaper bags in stores like Mothercare.  We also carry a diapering kit that has a handy diaper changing mat.

4.  A zip-up pouch containing:
- plasters.  Just in case the kids want them
- travel-size baby powder.
- pocket tissue packs
- antiseptic wash gel (for my hands after changing baby and there's no sink/water ).
- travel-size baby lotion (more for me, really)

5. Wallet

6. For My Work:
- Cheque Book
- Cardholder
- Notebook
- Pen

7.  In the side-pocket
- small comb
- powder compact
- lipstick
- lipgloss (this is one of my most indispensible items!)

8. HandPhone

9. Small Snacks for the baby or older kids
10. small-sized toys for the baby/older kids.

Sounds like a lot of things?  Well, not so.  The bag I carry is really quite small & compact.  All the things can fit inside because they are all pretty small too!

If you're like me though, the list of things that are in your bag may get smaller & smaller with experience and with each child you have.  For Mommies who use the Sarong Baby Carrier, what might work best would be a hip-hugger pouch.  Or you might find the Sling Pouch Pocket to be sufficient - depending on your style! 

The hip-hugger pouch that I use occasionally, is a stylish one of just the right size in black .  Can carry:

• Wallet
• Cardholder
• small-sized notebook
• pen
• tissue pack
• flat babywipes
• lipstick & lipgloss in side pocket & a small pocket powder compact
• pasters in another side pocket
• comb for my hair, mainly.
• handphone
• folded thin diaper
