In the beginning (first few months) the massive nappy bag I was gifted was a God send. Lots of room for spare clothes, cloth nappies and all the other bits and pieces. I also kept my handbag seperate from my nappy bag and would just chuck my keys, mobile and wallet in the nappy bag and head out when I was out with my bubba. After a while I swapped to a Mooo backpack with her name on it and used them interchangably but then at 6 months when she went onto solids, I found it much easier to use the moo backpack and my handbag than the big nappy bag. DD loves my handbag too so it's an easy entertaining piece when we are out and about eg. waiting for the GP.
