What do I need?!?!?

Question

What are the most practical things to put in my hospital bag for me and baby girl?! I have a tendency to pack things I don't need... any advise is more than welcome! From a first time mommy to be, due in 2 to 3 weeks

Answer

The things I swore by for delivery was a dozen packs of electrolyte chews/gummies in case the hospital prohibits food, iPhone charger, chapstick. For the rest of my stay I was very happy to have my own pillow with a non-white pillowcase, a nursing bra, yoga pants for going home (this time I'll bring two pair as I bled on mine right before we left), quality toiletries for washing my hair and face, quality hand lotion, nipple cream, and nursing pillow. The hospital will provide slipper socks and a bathrobe, I wore the hospital gowns to sleep in because of all the bleeding. The hospital also provides hideously ugly but incredibly functional pads and 'underwear', and clothes, diapers, wipes for baby. Less to bring is less to keep track of when it's time to check out!

Answer

Pajamas/robe, slippers, pillow, insurance paperwork, toiletries, comfy going home outfit for you, going home outfit and blanket for her.

Answer

I had so many nursing tops to wear and wore my robe the entire time I was in hospital.  Maybe some yoga pants... get depends silhouettes (waaaaaaay more comfortable than pads) your everyday toiletries, flip flops for shower, and some entertainment like books or coloring books...
