We asked Birth Center Mamas for recommendations related to diaper bags and this is what they had to say!
What Type of Bag is Best?
There are a number of different types of diaper bags out there. You will have lots of options to chose from when shopping or making your registry.
A backpack style diaper bag was by far the most recommended style of diaper bag. Some Mamas preferred a backpack that is specifically designed as a diaper bag and others preferred a regular backpack. Either way, carrying the bag on your back helps free up your arms!
What To Keep in Your Diaper Bag
What to keep in your bag will vary for each person depending on their personal needs and the age of their little one(s), but these were the most common recommended items by Birth Center Mamas.

Wipes (useful for face, hands, messes, and diaper changes)
