What's in Your Diaper Bag?
Name: Kim Kardashian
Baby's Name (and age): North (16 months)
Most Important Thing in Your Diaper Bag:
The clothes. Both Kim and Kanye are known for
their fashion choices, and they made a very specific one for baby Nori: no
pink. North is dressed in nothing but neutrals, and is often shown wearing
designer clothing that rivals mom’s. Just last week, North attended a fashion
show in a Givenchy sheer black embellished lace playsuit. I can’t help but cringe
at the thought of having to throw out something like that because of a diaper
explosion, but it’s all relative!
Basic Save:
One place Kim seems
to have saved money is on the stroller (the thing to which our diaper bags are
most often attached). At $940, the Orbit Baby G2 Travel System is no steal, but
based on the extravagances in every other arena, and the fact that the average
travel system sells for something around $400, this seems reasonable.
Essential
Splurge:
It’s no surprise that for this celebrity mama, everything is a
splurge, but one particular item that sticks out is the diaper bag itself. Kim
was spotted using a $30,000 Hermes bag to carry her burp cloths, bum wipes, and
diapers. “Essential” may be a contested word choice here, but there is no doubt
that looking stylish and staying on top of the trends is a top priority for
this notorious mom.
Best Preparedness Advice:
I would
argue that the best preparedness advice we can get from Kim is to be prepared
to ignore those people who attempt to make us feel bad for our choices as
mothers and fathers. Kim makes some interesting parenting choices, in
what she prioritizes, in how she dresses her child, in what she shares with the
world, but she never apologizes for doing what she believes is the right thing
for her family. Our intuition as parents is our strongest asset. Practice presenting
Kim Kardashian level confidence in the decisions that feel right for you and your
baby (without diminishing someone else for their right to do the same).
