Diaper bags Guide
So I make a checklist things I want to put inside a diaper bag, hopefully I can find one that will carry it all.
1. 4 pieces of Diapers
2. 2 changes of clothes
3. 1 mom shirt – lightweight,won’t wrinkles, matches with just everything
4. toileteries – talk, bath, nappy cream, sunscreen
5. handkerchief
6. wet tissue
7. hat and socks for baby
8. a bottle of water to drink
9. plastic for dirty/wet clothes
10. book for baby/me
11. camera
Then, when I start to surf the net, I was amazed by the look of the diaper bags. They are so gorgeous and stylish. Especially the Oi Oi brand. But I can’t afford it lah…. However, here are something to consider before buying one:
1.Style of the bag – Messenger, shoulder, backpack, tote,etc. I think Shoulder DB works for me, as it’s easily accessible and easier for me to carry while I’m using babysling.
2.Price - More money is usually needed for a designer label and/or a fancy fabric
3.Size - Make sure your bag will hold all of your gear and ask yourself...
4.Material -A diaper bag must be easy to clean!
5. Closures - These affect the accessibility of your bag and can prevent items from spilling out of the bag and getting lost. Large zippers, velcro, snaps and drawstring are among to consider.
6.Pockets – I like to have both internal external and internal pockets for easy grabbing.
7.Extras - Here are a few options:Changing pads,Insulated internal or external pouches can keep bottles cold, removable straps make any bag more versatile,Zip-off pockets allow you to change the size of your storage and easily hang to the stroller
My First Entry
Dear All,
I’ve created this blog for me to share what interest me as a mom of 5 children. I like to surf the Internet ( I click a lot) and do a lot of reading. Basically my interest is anything related to my children. I have 3 boys and 2 girls, and their age is 8, 7,5,3 years old and 1 months old. I have a special child who is deaf and he’s the reason I resigned from my job. I become SAHM primarily to help my deaf son to learn to listen and talk through listening. In these 3 years he came from no words to thousands words, telling and making up stories and learning maths,reading, writing and science with me at home.
Now, with a baby and no maid, I also don’t know for sure how I’ll manage my life. Hopefully , this blog will help me to keep my sanity. Not only sharing what I want to share but also find same-minded people to talk to.
