hospital bags?!

Question

What have you other moms packed for you, baby, and daddy? I'm so lost at where to start and what to bring.

Answer

Something to wear after delivery

Nursing bras

Nipple pads

Nipple cream

Chapstick

Shampoo/conditioner

Toothbrush/toothpaste

Warm socks

Outfit for baby and blanket

Toiletries for dad

The hospital I'm delivering at provides: wipes, diapers, formula, pacifiers, and pads for mom.

Answer

I asked my midwife what is recommended and with my hospital ( check with yours, they are all different)  all essentials are provided, even breast pads. She told me to only pack what will make me comfortable like a robe, fuzzy socks, my own toiletries....as for baby, they told me they have their own outfits and diapers they will use until we leave so we only need to bring a going home outfit and diaper bag for during the drive home.

Answer

Going home clothes, baby outfit, swaddle blanket, sound machine (I'm a light sleeper), toilletries, underwear, nursing bra, comfy clothes, slippers, hair tie, iPad and phone with chargers, pads for going home, glasses, camera.

Answer

Baby: 
- a 0-3 month outfit & A newborn set.
-Headband set in case I want her to wear one. A hat for going out of the hospital in. 
- Two warm hats and two sets of anti scratch mittens
-One of her baby blankets
- A pair of socks and boots.
-Her health care kit.

Me:
-Two big shirts
-Two pair of undies.
-Two pair of stretchy leggings
-My hair brush

I'll also be bringing 
-Hair ties 
-My phone charger and charged camera.
- Wallet 
-Socks 
-Travel sized Shampoo & body wash because I'm allergic to dove and most hospitals give out dove.

Daddy will probably just pack his charger, two pair of jeans and two shirts and socks/boxers.

Answer

Im making my SO pack his own bag lol. My last baby was just barely 5lbs so i have a preemie onsie, 2 newborn outfits, 1 0-3 outfit, 2 sleepsacs. 2 pairs of socks and 2 hats, a warm swaddle and blanket and our own baby shampoo for his first bath. 
For me: postpartum/"shapeware" underwear (instead of the belly wrap) and nursing top, 2 comfy outfits, hairbrush, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, lotion, body wash, deodorant, light pads (i bled pretty lightly with my first baby)  and shower sandles. Most hospitals provide hygiene products but i prefer my own, last time they gave me an all in 1 wash meant as body wash and shampoo but it felt too harsh on my hair. I also threw in some non-perishable snacks. 
If baby comes early like my first, ill have to deliver at a hospital that is over 2 hours away so I'd rather have more than i need instead of not enough.

Answer

We have clothes for daddy, including PJ pants and toiletries for both. PJ pants and nursing tanks for mom. Coming home outfit for baby both. Extra chargers for everyone.
