what's in your delivery bag?

Question

I hate over packing and I hate to not be prepared. So far, I have nursing bras, breast pads, underwear, pajamas, makeup, an outfit for baby and a few onesies.

What am I missing? I'm sure there's a few things. Do I really need burping cloths and other stuff typically provided by the hospital (i.e.: pads, diapers, rash cream, etc.). Do I really need onesies or wil they clothe him?

This single FTM thanks you!

Answer

I personally skipped the makeup. I'm all for people seeing my natural face. Plus I don't wanna do makeup. I wanna hold my baby girl. I just have the clothes I need my nursing pillow some towels sense the hospital one's suck. And the coming home outfit for baby.

Answer

The only thing I will take is

Towel 
Dry shampoo
Hair ties 
Brush
Make up 
Charger
Light pants 
Flowy shirts
Nursing bras 
Snacks 
Depends

Answer

Bring a onesie for him to wear under his going home outfit.  I like the shirts and blankets the hospital had so he stayed in those until we went home.

Flip flops for the shower - think dorm shower although private anything you'd want in a dorm shower.

Towel.  At least at my hospital the towels they provided for showering covered maybe an ass cheek.

I'm bringing a nipple shield this time around.  It was a life saver with #1 to help him latch but I didn't get one till I was already home.

Extension cord.  Your phone will die and the outlet will be too far from your bed.

Here is a list I found on line. Helps narrow down what to take.
