Renee,
Noodle Soup offers some nice canvas bags. Lansinoh, Hollister and Medela  may 
be able to provide "freebies" for inside... Nursing pads, Lansinoh, Belly  
Balls, etc...
I would recommend buying the smaller bags, and using the angle "This is all  
you need (one or two diapers) if you are breastfeeding"
The new Lansinoh freebies have a LLL membership form already printed on the  
packaging.
Or you could print your own membership form, and maybe draw a name from the  
returned forms to win a sling... :)
Noodle Soup also has cool little give-away items....

Subject: Looking for "Diaper Bag"  Ideas

Hi Fellow Lactnetters,

Our La Leche League Group is in  process of making our own "diaper  bags" for 
the local hospital to  counter the formula ones given out.  We are  going to 
be 
asking  United Way for funding to help us with this endeavor.   Of course the 
 
information included will be La Leche League Philosophy, however  we  would 
like to add "freebies" and such things to give the moms a feeling  of  "wow 
look 
what I got" and to give them the much needed  breastfeeding support  without 
a 
"well if you can't breastfeed, try our  formula...." spin.  

What I am looking for is names of companies  that may have things  that we 
could buy to add to our bags (not real  expensively) or free samples from  
companies that are breastfeeding  friendly so there are no mixed messages 
(for  
example...putting in some  type of lotion samples from a bottle feeding  
company).  
Also if  anyone knows of a breastfeeding friendly site that makes  homemade  
diaper bags that would like a big contract, and also some sites that   would 
be 
interested in "advertising" their breastfeeding friendly items  (ie:  slings, 
wraps, etc.) we would very much like to hear it. You do  not have to  have 
personal 
financial interest in these products but we  would like to have  products 
that 
in no way advertise anything other  than LLL Philosophy/attachment  parenting.

Please email me off list  with your ideas and I will be glad to add  these to 
our Leader's  Meeting for consideration.

Thank you,

Renee Drake RN CLC
