What do I need in my hospital bag for me and baby ?

Question

Two weeks and I go in to be induced, it’s been awhile since I’ve packed a hospital bag, what would you suggest I take for the baby and I, I will most likely be there longer then most momma in recovery as I am high risk and have some things that need to be monitored 😊 please share as I am packing my bags and don’t want to forget anything

Answer

Probably not as much as you think! With my first I was in for 4 days & hardly used anything - just a few pairs of comfy pjs, knickers (I hate the disposable ones), big pads, nursing bra, slippers/flip flops, a comfy set for going home, wash bag, make up bag & hair clips etc & I took a favourite blanket to curl up with. For baby it's basically just babygros, vests & blankets! Dummies/pacifiers if you're using them plus I took a bunch of nappies & wipes too but depends if your hospital provide them. Just go for comfort, unless you're one of the lucky ones who slips back into her favourite jeans the day after giving birth 😂x

Answer

For you the adult diapers for sure! BUT don’t get the always ones that are scented they are 🤢 on a postpartum nose. Loose comfy clothes, I packed button up pajamas and those were clutch for nursing. Maybe a robe and some slippers too. i showered at the hospital so I brought my own towel cuz theirs sucked. I’d also bring your own pillow and blanket. For the baby you only needs a couple outfits, burp cloths and a binky if you want to use one and maybe a baby blanket to go home.

Answer

Adult diapers were my saving grace because you bleed so much. The pads didn’t cut it for me. Also a Velcro swaddle for baby cuz the hospital blankets come undone.
