For many parents a diaper bag is such an essential part of baby’s first years that it only makes sense to give daddy his due – one simply cannot expect a man to tote around little one’s belongings in a feminine diaper bag with dignity and enthusiasm. In that scenario dad will spend more time trying not to be seen than attending to baby.

The selection of a diaper bag for dad is dependant on many factors, but for those new to game we offer these simple pointers:

•If in doubt, go for function over form, but get as close to your idea of perfect marriage of both as possible.

•Consider where and when you’ll be using you diaper bag most often – trips to park, for example, will require a more durable exterior, (water resistant is always a plus), than, say, daily trips to day care or indoor events.

•A changing pad is almost a requirement if you’ll be out and about with baby. One diaper change without one in a public place and you’ll know what we mean.

I am not a twin myself, but if I were I would definitely want to be an identical twin. There is just something amazing about having someone else in world with my exact DNA, down to last amino acid. Most people think of twins as being either identical or fraternal, but there are many different types of twins.

Identical Twin - Identical twins are born when a fertilized egg, or zygote, splits in two. Because egg is fertilized by one sperm cell, and it is sperm cell that determines sex of child, identical twins are always same sex.

The two children share 100% of their DNA, meaning that most complex DNA test could not tell difference between two. There are differences, however, in phenotype, or physical expression of DNA, that helps people distinguish between one identical twin and other. Though they share same genotype, they have different teeth and finger prints, for example.

Half- Identical Twin - Half- identical twins are born when egg splits prior to being fertilized, and two new cells are fertilized by two different sperm. The siblings share 25% of their DNA.
