What to pack ?

Question

Can I get any recommendations on what to pack in mine and my partners hospital bag and what to pack in the baby’s diaper bag ? I’m currently 31 weeks and 4 days I know I still have a little time I’m just getting too excited to finally meet my little rainbow 🌈 💙.

Answer

Call your hospital and see what they provide. My hospital said they provide pretty much everything needed.  Baby clothes and mom clothes.  Mom's only need going home clothes.  
I am still packing stuff for us and having it in my car ready to go when I'm around 36 weeks

Answer

Commenting because I still haven’t packed anything and I need help too, im 36 weeks ☹️

Answer

One thing my sister told me to NOT pack is the diaper bag, bring your going home outfit for baby and maybe a pacifier but don’t put anything else in it. While you’re in the hospital they will supply you with diapers/wipes/swaddles. She said to keep your diaper bag empty to take all of that stuff home with you

Answer

I packed mine so my list is scratched off now, but I’m keeping it pretty minimal this time around. The only time I wore any clothes aside from a nursing bra and the mesh underwear/pad was when we had visitors and we won’t be having anyone come to the hospital this time around. 
-toiletries (brush, hair ties, toothbrush and toothpaste, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, deodorant, shower shoes)
-something comfy to go home in, I got a super soft matching pajama set and I’m bringing leggings as a backup in case I leak or something 
-blanket
-electronics: phone chargers, switch for during labor
-one newborn outfit and one 0-3 month outfit
-snacks and drinks 
-my husband is bringing a blanket and pillow and basic toiletries like a toothbrush and deodorant 
As for a diaper bag, the hospital should provide everything you need for baby while you’re there and usually you can take extra diapers/wipes home, but that depends on your hospital and their covid precautions too. In general when you pack your diaper bag it’s smart to have diapers and wipes. I like to have two backup outfits. If you’re formula feeding, make sure you have that. When we switched our son to formula we found the single on the go packets to be the easiest option.
