What are you packing in your hospital bags?

Question

How many onsies/ sleepers? Trying not to forget anything.

Answer

As far as sleepers, just a nb size and a 0-3m size sleeper for coming home. My girl was born 8 pounds 5 ounces and the nb sleeper was like an off-the-shoulder outfit on her 😅 when she stretched her toes were ready to bust through 🤣

Answer

I’ll probably just bring baby’s coming home outfit. As someone else mentioned I like to do skin to skin and it’s a pain to take off their clothes every time. May also bring our own swaddle and a blanket for the car seat for the drive home but that’s about it as far as clothes for babe.

Answer

I do mostly of skin to skin at the hospital. Both my babies were naked and swaddled in a blanket when not doing skin to skin. I only brought two onesies for going home.

Answer

Usually I would only pack a couple outfits for baby , but my third kiddo was born at 37 weeks and he got stuck in the hospital for a week with some breathing issues and we didn't have any other outfits to change him in , so this time I'm definitely bringing more outfits for baby, myself, and husband! My hospital doesn't have shampoo so I'm bringing that this time. Some house shoes since we had to stay for a week last time. Definitely lotion and chap stick because after everything my skin gets so dry ! Hair ties / Bobby pins. And just your other usual essentials.

Answer

In my purse:
Cell, charger, power bank, earbuds, Wallet, Makeup bag (chapstick, tinted moisturizer, powder, mascara, headband, hand lotion), Gum, Snacks
