Do we really need a daddy diaper bag?

Q. I am 36 weeks pregnant and pretty much have everything but there are a few last things that I was planning on to get before the baby comes.

One of the things that wasn't fulfilled in the baby registry is the "Daddy Diaper Bag". Do you think I really need it? Or is it more of a luxury that isn't needed?

I am having a girl and the baby diaper bag that we do already have a diaper bag that is 100% pink. My husband would probably want to use a non-pinkish bag if he's having a Daddy-Daughter Day. But he says that it's not completely necessary. It's just something that is nice to have.

Does anyone out there have a "Daddy Diaper Bag"? Is it something that you used often? Was it something liked enough by your husband that made him happy?

Thanks so much!

Sincerely,
A New Mommy

Answer
A regular backpack works just as well. If you already have something that's suitable there's absolutely no reason to go buy another bag just for this purpose.

People are not using bumpers anymore because some studies are trying to say they can cause SIDS. I don't know if I agree with that or not, but fyi.
I actually like and use TONS of blankets of different thickness and texture.
Similac bottles are awesome! They cost a lot, but they work (less gas, etc. and my baby likes that kind of nipple.
Bottle warmers don't work. Run the bottle under hot water, or like the rest of us, microwave. They only suppose to be room temperature, so if there is a "hot" spot, it should just be "warm". Had 3 babies and never had a problem.
Desitin ROCKS!
Actually, I would get more washcloths...in the beginning you'll be using them for butt and face, throwing the butt ones away, then realizing you have a pile for butt and another pile for face! Can actually use more than 4.
Bassinets are a waste of money...baby isn't in it long (if at all). Use the play pack.
Read up on it...baby laundry soap is pointless. I confirmed this when I washed all my newborns clothes with my generic laundry soap. She had sensitive skin and STILL...ZERO problems with the detergent.
Diapers...you cannot predict how many you will use. I had 2 kids in the 6lb range that went through only one bag of newborn diapers. My 3rd, weighing 5 lb 7 is on her 3rd bag of preemies I wasn't expecting to buy. Luvs and Huggies are the best.
After raising 2 kids and having a 3rd, I've learned the hard way that things don't last. For this one, I bought ALL plastic kid size drawers. But yes, I at least got them in pretty girl colors, but I'm not going to care when she decides to destroy it all.
Onesies are nice but you won't need 36 of them.
Formula you don't want to buy ahead because you don't know if your baby will have allergies. I think most people will start their baby on Similac, but I don't think there are any bad brands out there. Good luck!
