Hospital Bag

Ok, Bag for the hospital is getting packed. I am less than a month away. Any moms have any suggestions for what to pack? I want to make sure I don't forget anything.

Re: Hospital Bag

Just crashing, but here's what I remember... Lol

Tank tops
Draw string pants, comfy yoga pants
Cotton panties
Nursing bras
Pajamas
Slipper socks
Flip flops
Face wash, brush, hair ties, headband, makeup, toothbrush, toothpaste,
Boppy pillow (didn't have this and wish I did)
Camera, extra batteries, phone, charger,
Insurance info
Ped doctor info
Robe


Btw... I wound up with a c section with DS1 so was in the hospital gown for 2 days. Of course changed to clean ones. I also wore the hospital underwear bc you will blead.

Make sure to take home lots of stuff the hospital gives you. I got tons of the big, heavy pads, diapers, formula, baby comb and nose sucker, cloth wipes, their underwear and that stretchy belt or whatever it's called to help heal.

Good luck!

Hospital Bag

Your own "overnight" type super absorbent maxis (the ones in the hospital are like a phone book, plus no wings)
Check if your hospital gives pacifiers (some have stopped)
Granny panties to hold everything in
sweats or leggings to lounge around in (company will show up)
An extra empty bag or duffel for laundry and baby freebies from the hospital
I found it helpful having a sturdy folder to keep the baby's documents in so they don't get crushed or folded.
