Nursing bras, sensible flats, and diaper bags: There’s definitely some mommy gear you can’t wait to ditch.

But you’ll want to be left holding the bag if it’s from Liv+ Co, a new line of unbaby baby bags.

Choose from the Amelie tote, a quilted number in faux leather or patent; the Avery, a canvas caryall with faux leather detailing; or the Posh City in crocodile embossed lambskin.

Even with roomy interior pockets, matching changing pads, and charms that double as teething rings, they’re something you’ll be happy to carry around long after you’re done with diaper duty.

Wish the same could be said for those last five pounds.
