NICU baby bag?

Question

I’m a first time Mom so I don’t really know what to pack...but my twins are being delivered a little early (like Friday the 27th) due to being small for their gestational age.  This is sooo nerve wracking...
So what do I pack for THEM?

Answer

They don’t need anything - the hospital will supply everything you need. You can bring your own clothes, but then you have to take them home and wash them - why bother?? 
Just pack some snacks for yourself, and some really good hand lotion - you have to wash your hands so much, with really harsh soap.

Answer

At best you will want a cute hat or a blanket for the incubator, maybe a family photo. In our NICU the baby can’t wear clothes until they’ve passed quite a few criteria- including maintaining their own temperature and having all IV lines removed. And once they can wear clothes, snap sleepers will be easiest because they allow you to run the monitor wires out the leg holes.  Other than that everything was provided and we couldn’t bring much from home due to the environment needing to be sterile. We did pack books to read though, and the nurses said a lot of moms made name signs for the pod.
