To dislike 'yummy mummy' bags?

[booomy]

Several of my friends have changing bags that cost nearly £80 that is embroidered with 'yummy mummy'. www.johnlewis.com/231429259/Product.aspx

To my understanding, the use of 'yummy' in this context means attractive. I wouldn't want to carry round a statement that basically means your only aim in life is to look good whilst pushing a pram?

Actually I'd prefer the bag in that scenario. At least the nappies would not be soaked with goat blood.
And that's the only postive thing about that bag.

I didn't buy a change bag when I had DS because the MN loudest shouters insisted you didn't need to.

I bought one when he was a month old, because I decided they were totally wrong.

Still think those yummy mummy ones are disgusting, though. If Imelda Staunton in that Harry Potter film - the character with the kitten plates - had been created as a mother instead, that's the bag she'd have had!

I don't actually like the cupcake bag
but had few mum bags
Orla, lin& Leo, and oioi

Oh, and those asking why you need a separate change bag - call me neurotic, but I liked to keep bottles upright and not leaking; wipes where I could quickly find them, and nappies in the shape they exited the pack. I also liked being able to wipe off the spillages, and none of my handbags had PVC interiors. Add in bags of rice cakes, a muslin, a toy or two and a change of clothing and a compartmentalised bag was a godsend.

Normal bags just didn't work at all for me. Everything got in a scrunched up mess. And I am at the notion I'd want to carry that around when no change bag (in my price range, anyway) looked anything like as good as a normal bag.

indeed good changing bag is well organized
and considerably cheaper than my regular bags
which I don't want squished with baby creme and detritus

That bag is awful.

Ew, YANBU. But each to their own.

It is vile and i can't see how it practical it would be. I'm definitely on the side of a changing bag -mine is from mothercare and often in the washing machine as it always seemed to have food squashed into every crevice on the inside and Sudocrem smears on the outside. I have a very nice handbag which is for my stuff which would never be put in the washing machine!

Depends of you are a slut like me. By DD3 I didn't bother with changing bags, just shoved everything under the buggy. And I travelled light: two nappies, wipes, spare vest and nappy sacks. And that was it.

Not a reflux baby, then... ;)

Seriously, I needed at least 2 muslins plus 2 complete changes just to leave the house. And DS was born in early winter, helpfully!

God, what with this and the tongue tie thread I am remembering why I HATED the baby stage! Thank God toddlers are so fantastic. That's all I can say!

Our last attempt at potty training meant a nappy bag wasn't big enough. Needed three extra carrier bags containing 3 changes of dry clothes, 3 wet sets, or worse, dirty, plus bag with potty. Back in nappies now. Still take a change of clothes. The day you don't is the day you get beaten by a loose poop.

That bag makes me want to vomit....

Taste is something you can't buy. This bag proves the point nicely.

I have a pink lining bag but not a yummy mummy one (the phrase makes me cringe so chose one wth different text). I love it, good quality, practical, spacious. Only mn could put a changing bag on its vitriol hit list alongside fruit shoots and greggs!

I won't hear a word against greggs
all that saturated fat and pastry
a beefy bake is panacea for the masses

I think it's the text that totally spoils it Meconium. It's tacky in the extreme.

its the equivalent of juicy stamped on yer bahookie
too descriptive
and hardly words that imbue confidence

Scottishmummy it's rare that we agree, but I agree. We have official common ground.

Yep, 'cos this is so much better.

Zzzzzzzz

YABU, I love mine
