I actually have a couple Coach diaper bags that daddy can use without it looking too girlie.

I definitely reccomend it - roomy, nice side pockets for discreet diaper, etc. storage. Plus, you can expand it and make it larger if need be. Only drawback? It can be a tad heavy (but thats not the bag's fault, it's mine for filling it w/so much stuff!). I use the Mulberry Poppy as my diaper bag and its perfect!

If a woman is willing to get fat, I mean really fat to carry a baby for 9 freaking months, only to follow-up that terrific marathon by stretching her lady parts to the point that a human can come screaming out of her, deal with the horrific stretch marks and psycho-trauma of breast feeding......SHE AT LEAST DESERVES A NICE FREAKING BABY BAG!!!!! To be frank, she deserves one that walks on it's own so that she doesn't have to carry around awhole bunch of diapers and gross drippy bottles!!!! GET THOSE BAGS BITCHES, and dont FEEL ANY GUILT!!!!!! <3 your home girl!!! HERE IS THE DEAL…..

I think a line called Storksak makes non-obvious and chic diaper bags. The line is pretty reasonably priced too, under $500!

Ugh. No offense. Especially beautiful bags from Prada and Miu Miu. Marc Jacobs seems doable, since the price isn't too much. But I have to disagree about using a Prada/Miu Miu for hauling icky baby stuff in there. I would go for a Coach diaper bag since it comes with a changing mat. And that's seems to be the only bag I wouldn't mind getting dirty. I would never use a $1K bag as a diaper bag. Ugh. No offense. Especially beautiful bags from Prada and Miu Miu.

I got her a MBMJ black leather diaper bag that came with a cute logo'd changing pad and several fabulous bottle-sized pockets. The leather is wipe-clean and even her hubby likes using it as it isn't too girlie-looking. I got that at Nordstrom for about $350, but if you search Neiman Marcus Online for 'diaper bag' they feature diaper bags by Chloe, Gucci, Prada and Burberry, all with changing pads and lots of pockets. The Gucci is nice at $975: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod35330044&cmCat=search&searchType= What I discovered from my friend who just had a baby is getting a *proper* diaper bag – instead of just a big tote – is really helpful, because the size is appropriate for bottles and diapers, most come with changing pads and are wipe-clean.

Cups spill, medicine spills, babies are messy, and it would be quite easy to destroy a really nice bag. Plus, the point about setting the bag on the ground is a good one - you'll do it all the time. I'm just now getting to the point where I can get out of the house with just one big (but very nice!!!) bag again........... :smile: I agree with Claire, the MBMJ Nylon Tote would be a good option for hauling around a newborn (I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old).

They are really sturdy and easy to take care of. When I got mine it was about $925 for the medium one. I love the bag! How about Goyard St. Louis PM Totes?

I am liking the Prada and the Marc Jacob Nylon tote. The Foley & Corrina looks not bad too. I will check them out. It is 12.30 am my time now but I can't sleep (already in my last few weeks of pregnancy. Sleeping is such a chore. Oh the joy of motherhood but I am excited as well :wink: Thank you for the well wishes. Claire, Thank you for the suggestions too. I totally agree with you. I am usually a type of person that will baby my bags but I think like you said, I won't get a chance with this "intended" diaper bags. Have a great day ahead everyone :smile: Oh Megs,

First of all, it has side pockets, which hopefully would fit a bottle. Bottles are SOOOO spilly, and it would be a shame to ruin an expensive bag. The other thing is, once you're lugging your beautiful daughter around, you can't baby your bag like you normally would (read: you may have to put it on the ground while you fiddle with car seats, strollers, etc). Once she's walking it's easier to get back into a 'real' bag (I use my Chloe Bay with one diaper and a mini pack of wipes, plus a snack), but the first year, you need so much stuff, and things are so messy, you need something really practical.

It's easy to wipe off and looks good with a patina. It's more than $1K, but the Neverfull GM is just $750, I think, and similar in size.
