Packing your hospital bag in preparation for giving birth can be a little overwhelming. What do you actually need to be comfortable and feel at ease?
The hospital will most likely provide many things for you including perribottles, maternity pads, ice packs, ointments, disposable underwear, ni**le cream, etc. They will also provide most everything your baby will need right away like swaddles, diapers, wipes, formula samples, pacifiers, bulb syringe, etc.
So before you go crazy overpacking, narrow down the essentials you’ll need to feel comfortable during your stay.
Here’s what we recommend:
✨ toiletries (the hospital may provide these, but it’s nice to have your own)
✨ going home outfit (for both you and baby)
✨ shower shoes
✨ slippers to walk around in
✨ phone charger
✨ snacks
✨ lounge wear or comfy pjs
✨ nursing bra
