What's in the Big Bag

've always wondered what's in The Big Bag that parents lug around after they have a kid. NOW I KNOW. Check out my Big Bag and all the "stuff" in it.

My Big Bag was a present given by my in-laws. Isn't it cute? For more Frederick Casey Momo paraphenalia, check out http://www.fc-momo.com, or the shop at Ginza Plaza & Takashimaya Shopping Centre.

Here are SOME of The Big Bag's "innards" ^__^

1. Breast-feeding ziplock bag - sealed bottled milk with teat (a spare supply, just in case); MILO 3-in-1 packet (a hot drink to stimulate flow of breast milk); breast pads (to prevent leaking milk); small towel (to be rinsed in cool water and used to wipe squidge's head to wake him up); cloth diaper (to be used as burping cloth for burping during breastfeeding); Lanolin (gel to soothe sore nipples after breastfeeding); small pack of baby wipes (to wipe here wipe there!)

2. Diaper changing ziplock bag - diapers! (DUH); travel changing mat (DUH); tissue pack (to cover the you know what when changing the diaper); baby wipes (to wipe his little bottom clean!); diaper rash barrier cream.

Add to the 2 ziplock bags an umbrella, wallet, hairbrush, handphone, scrunchie and camera - and voila! You have BIG BAG full of STUFF to lug around. I'm pretty sure I've missed out a couple of items OR as Daniel grows, I'll have to add stuff to the BAG. Maybe I should add some of my favourite snacks to munch on when I breastfeed.... heh heh. Pity ice cream won't last long in there... Anyway, tips anyone on what else I should carry? Mucho gracias!

p.s. By the way, thanks to all the readers who contributed suggestions as to what to pack in the Daddy Bag. Husband & I took in all the suggestions which we found extremely useful!
