Evolution of My Diaper Bag
Now that I have had 3 kids, I have been thinking about how my parenting has changed & evolved over the past 5 1/2 years of Motherhood.
This was my diaper bag when I had Kate:
I took it EVERYWHERE with me. It was huge. And, because I was a first time mom, I wanted a "name brand" diaper bag. I researched & researched diaper bags & got this Peutina Pickle Bottom at Nordstrom for a ridiculous amount of money. (Shaking my head)
This is what I had in Kate's diaper bag:
- 5-7 extra diapers
- Package of wipes
- Fold up Pad to Change her on
- 2 extra pacifiers
- pacifier holder
- bottle of hand sanitizer
- 2 burp cloths
- 1 plain white onesie
- 1 cute onesie
- 1 pair of footies/sleep n play outfit
- socks
- gas drops
- extra breast pads
- Hooter Hider
- diaper cream
- Aquaphor
- Lanisoh Nipple Cream
- Bib
- Blanket
- bottle of water (for me, since I get thirsty while nursing)
- a plastic target bag in case she blew out an outfit
- Squeaky Toy/Rattle
This is what I used when I had Claire.
I ditched the huge Diaper Bag and used this:
It contained a built in changing pad & fit in my big purse.

Fast forward a few years & here I am with Baby #3.
It has been YEARS since I carried a diaper bag
(Luke is almost 4 years younger than Claire & 5.5 year younger than Kate)
I didn't want to use a diaper bag with him, so this is what he gets:
That's right.
A ziplock bag that I keep in my purse with a couple of diapers & a pack of wipes.
No change of outfit, no pacifier, no spare onesie.
In fact, he had a blow out the other day and since I had no back up outfit, he just rode home in a diaper with no clothes on.
But, hey! Luke's "diaper bag" is the only one that is "monogrammed" Ha!
I am much more relaxed & go with the flow this time around & my diaper bag situation is proof of that!
Any other moms out there who ditched the diaper bag after their 1st or 2nd baby?
