Most parents know that packing a bag for a day out with baby isn't just about fitting the nappies in. It's about being able to find things again while holding a restless baby on your hip. That's exactly the challenge that shaped our nursing bags at That's Mine, practical enough for everyday chaos, but still clean and stylish in look.

What should a good nursing bag include?

A nursing bag needs to organise, not just hold. Our Benne nursing bag has several spacious compartments for nappies, a pack of wipes and a change of clothes, plus a separate pocket with a thermo lining that keeps bottles warm or cold. The large main compartment is complemented by a removable changing pad in the big outer pocket, so you always have a clean surface on hand without it taking up space in the bag when you don't need it.

How big should a nursing bag be?

It depends on how much you typically bring along. The Benne nursing bag measures 40 x 34 x 18 cm, giving you room for a full day's essentials, from nappies and spare clothes to bottles and your own things like keys and a wallet. If you're looking for something smaller for shorter trips, our Vivita bag is a simpler, more compact option without the built-in changing pad.

How is the Benne nursing bag organised?

The bag has one large main compartment and four inner pockets, one with a zip for small items like keys or a pacifier. On the outside sit two pockets with magnetic closures, so you can quickly grab what you use most without digging through the whole bag. The material is water-repellent and made from recycled polyester, so it can handle both rainy days and a busy routine.

Do you really need a nursing bag, or can you use a regular one?

You can certainly use a regular bag, but a nursing bag is designed specifically to solve the challenges that come with a baby. The built-in changing pad means you always have a clean surface to change a nappy on, wherever you are, and the separated compartments keep clean and dirty items apart. The thermo pocket is a detail many parents only appreciate once they actually need to keep a bottle warm on the go.

How to carry the bag, over the shoulder or on the stroller

The Benne nursing bag comes with both a crossbody strap and stroller straps, so you can choose whichever suits the situation. The wide shoulder strap makes it comfortable to carry even when fully packed, while the stroller straps mean the bag can hang right within reach during a walk. If you want the rest of your changing routine sorted too, you'll find changing storage for home, muslin cloths and swaddles for the bag, or a smaller toiletry bag for your own things.

Whether it's a trip to the park or a full day out, the nursing bag is made to make it a little easier to keep everything in order. Find the colour and size that suits you, with free shipping on orders over 599 kr and 30 days to return it if it doesn't turn out to be the right fit.
